World Health Organizations are afraid that the caramel coloring in soft drinks can cause health issues and cancer. Soft drinks are being tested to see if they exceed 4- Mel that is being thought to cause cancer. They are also wanting to put warnings on food or any other drinks that may contain this amount or more. "The FDA has no reason to believe that the 4-Mel poses a health risk to consumers.." Companies are now working to make these soft drinks have less then 4- Mel to reduce the risk of health issues. 
I believe that this article can relate to our school, because, many of the students consume these soft drinks that are being provided from the drink machines. If what is being said is true many students could be at risk to the health issue. 
I feel this event could have been prevented by testing the ingredients that they put in items that people consume to help prevent health issues in the future. It affects me because I as many others consume soft drinks and our health can be affected by drinking these drinks that consume 4-Mel or more of it. 

• How does the author support his claim? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.

With every detail that the author is giving they give exclusive evidence to help support there claim. For example, when its being said that the FDA has no reason to believe that the soft drinks poses any health risk, they state "The government agency is testing a variety of food and beverages with the chemical and reviewing safety data to determine if any regulatory action needs to be taken, she said (Consumer Reports)." This evidence shows that the author feels as if there is not much to worry about when it comes to these conclusions if they don't have clear evidence.

Samsung: Galaxy S5 out by April, may scan your eyes Current event

This article talks about when they believe that the new Galaxy S5 will be coming out and how different it will be. The objective is to get clients attention to see how better this new phone will be and what are the cons of getting it once they are being sold at stores.It also talks about the new Galaxy Gear Watch that should be coming out the same day as the phone.

The only issue this is most likely to have is how people actually feel about the new phone and if they really are going to release it by April.This is very informational if you were to want to get the new Galaxy S5. It affects me because I wouldn't know if getting that new device would be a good option for me if I were wanting to get a new cellular device.

The central idea of this article is to inform you about the new Galaxy S5 that will be released in April. Throughout this passage it compares to the iPhones and how the Galaxy's are in competition with them but, at the end they always stay on their topic how the new Galaxy S5 will be like and how it will feel, what the new features are.
