| 16:13 EDT |  | MNST | AMA adopts policy supporting ban of marketing energy drinks to kids
The American Medical Association, or AMA, announced that it voted during its Annual Meeting to adopt several new policies on emerging issues in public health and science. Among the policies adopted was support for a ban of the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18. "Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people, including heart problems, and banning companies from marketing these products to adolescents is a common sense action that we can take to protect the health of American kids," said AMA board member Alexander Ding, M.D. The Fly notes that Forbes reported earlier this week that the AMA might endorse such a ban. |

| 12:30 EDT | | SBUX, GMCR | Starbucks CFO indicates new food products have been successful
A Starbucks (SBUX) executive indicated at a conference earlier today that its new food products have been successful. Starbucks has greater confidence that its food sales will continue to trend upward after launching new food products in two markets, Starbucks CFO Troy Alstead stated at the Jefferies Global Consumer Conference. Starbucks has launched food made by La Boluange, a restaurant chain that it acquired last year, at Starbucks stores in Northern California and the Seattle area. New beverages and an increased number of Starbucks drive-through stores can also improve the company's performance going forward, Alstead said. The Teavana brand that Starbucks acquired leaves the company poised to capitalize on "tremendous opportunities around the world for a contemporary teahouse concept," the CFO added. Meanwhile, Alstead reiterated that Starbucks does not plan to compete with Green Mountain (GMCR) by focusing on selling coffee machines. "We recognize that Starbucks is not an equipment company. We don't have aspirations to become a deep equipment company," said the CFO, who also praised Green Mountain. In early afternoon trading, Starbucks rose 95c, or 1.4%, to $67, while Green Mountain fell 1% to $78.70. |
