For people seeking an energy boost, companies are increasing their offerings 
of foods with added caffeine. A new caffeinated gum may have gone 
too far.The Food and Drug Administration said Monday that it will investigate 
the safety of added caffeine and its effects on children and adolescents. 
The agency made the announcement just as Wrigley was rolling out Alert 
Energy Gum, a new product that includes as much caffeine as a 
half a cup of coffee in one piece and promises "the right 
energy, right now."Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner of foods, indicated 
that the proliferation of new foods with caffeine added -- especially the 
gum, which he equates to "four cups of coffee in your pocket" 
-- may even prompt the FDA to look closer at the way 
all food ingredients are regulated.The agency is already investigating the 
safety of energy drinks and energy shots, prompted by consumer reports of 
illness and death.Taylor said Monday that the only time FDA explicitly approved 
the added use of caffeine in a food or drink was in 
the 1950s for colas. The current proliferation of caffeine added to foods 
is "beyond anything FDA envisioned," Taylor said."It is disturbing," Taylor 
told The Associated Press. "We're concerned about whether they have been 
adequately evaluated."Caffeine has the regulatory classification of "generally 
recognized as safe," or GRAS, which means manufacturers can add it to 
products and then determine on their own whether th
on.The Democratic primary pits U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, who has 
staked out more liberal positions, against fellow Rep. Stephen Lynch, a 
former ironworker who has tried to appeal to the party's working- and 
middle-class base.Lynch, 58, has had to defend his decision to vote against 
President Obama's 2010 health care law, while Markey, who won his first 
elected office while in law school, has fended off efforts to portray 
him as a Washington insider.Markey, 66, is the better-funded of the two 
Democratic candidates, having raised $4.8 million through the end of the 
last reporting period, compared with $1.5 million for Lynch.Markey has also 
benefited from outside spending. Of the more than $2.2 million spent by 
outside groups, nearly 84 percent went to Markey, an Associated Press review 
of Federal Election Commission reports found.In the town of Wayland in his 
congressional district, voters trickled in to polling places.Holly Zaitchik, 
a 66-year-old retired Boston University professor, said she voted for Markey 
because he's "he's done a terrific job of being there when anything 
important happens" in Washington.Zaitchik also thought the Marathon bombings 
might discourage turnout among voters still coping with the aftermath."There 
are a lot of people who are still down and not wanting 
to participate in things," she said. "It's disheartening."The GOP primary 
race is pitting three candidates: former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts
