Firstly, what is Prime drink and what is in it?
There are two types of Prime available; Prime Energy drink and Prime Hydration drink(targeted as a sports drink). They both contain a mix of filtered water, coconut water, sucralose and acesulfame potassium as artificial sweeteners as well as natural flavourings. Prime Energy contains high amount of caffeine and is NOT SUITABLE for CHILDREN
One of the major issues surrounding acesulfame potassium is that it contains the carcinogen methylene chloride. According to studies, headaches, depression, nausea, mental confusion, liver effects, kidney effects, visual disturbances, and cancer can all result from long-term exposure to methylene chloride
"The effects of added sugar intake — higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease — are all linked to an increased risk for heart attack and stroke,"
You are therefore NOT to bring them into school.
If you do bring them in they will be confiscated and returned only at the end of the day.
