Blog about one question/answer in particular that stood out to you most - noting why this in particular is important for women to know. Be sure to put the info into your own words and mention the title of the article you read.

The article I read about addresses the issue of drinking cocaine. In this article, it was found that, “Some German states have banned Red Bull's 'Simply Cola' drink after claiming it contains trace amounts of cocaine.”
While I am not an energy drink fan, I know plenty of women who drink this beverage. The main point of this article seems to be arguing on how careful consumers need to be concerned with the ingredients in common products. While the incident occurred in Germany, we in the United States had our share of problems with Coca- Cola that also contained cocaine at one time. “ Bull Snort” is a short article that relates both incidents of the use of cocaine in beverages. I find that this article is a warning to everyone to be a well- informed consumer, especially when some products are addictive and life threatening.
