Why are energy drinks so bad for you...

Why are energy drinks so bad for you? I have seen several places in the last few days that say how bad they are for you but not why. Is it just the caffeine?

it's soccer mom science. it's "bad" because it has some ingredients that people aren't familiar with as well as having sugar. When you look at the ingredients you notice that everything is pretty normal and there for a reason. They're not bad but they're a waste of money

Better than soda senpai
I like bang alot

ok thanks, All I see really is caffeine and sugar, but I keep reading about people saying how toxic they are and shit

Obviulsly at $4 caffeine sugar bomb is not a good idea for several reasons but i don't see why they are acting like it's a vat of chemicals

did red bull have ephedra in it at one time?

They are not bad for you per se. They contains micronutrients that can be detrimental to your body if you abuse energy drinks, also the caffeine spikes can temporarily fuck up your heart rate but i'm assuming that a rational person will not down a whole can in one gulp. They can also upset your stomach.
But these are all things that come with abusing energy drinks, not simply using them. They are perfectly safe as long as you consume them in moderation. Don't listen to fearmongers.
Also i think it's so obvious that i wont even talk about how detrimental processed sugars are, especially when so many energy drinks now come with calorie-free sweeteners like sucralose or stevia that are completely safe(worst case scenario they can upset your stomach if you consume a fuckton).
Always keep in mind that no food or drink is bad for you if consumed in moderation

Well they're bad for you if you drink more than 1-2 a day. They unironically raise the chance of you having a lung rupture and some complications, but only if you really abuse them.

As with most thing, drinking with moderation is fine.

I remember hearing about people getting heart attacks from it on the news back when i was little in the early 2000's so that might be possible lol idk

>They unironically raise the chance of you having a lung rupture
wat

>not drinking sugar free sips

Yeah Red Bull is better

It has 1g of erithrytol which you just piss out

Bruh I used to use ripped fuel. It was the SHIT.

>Bruh I used to use ripped fuel. It was the SHIT.
it really was

Almost as good as adderall, not as good but close enough that I would use it instead of buying $10 adderall. I think ephedra is still legal you just can't sell it as a supplement but you can sell it in bulk for "other reasons". i want to try making my own ripped fuel

>Why are energy drinks so bad for you?
Maybe it has something to with the unnatural level of sugar and caffeine. And because they're associated with boomers.

Energy drinks without sugar are pretty good. But energy drinks with sugar aren't. You drinking shouldn't be never have sugar because the red bull wouldn't had never even based.

wat

Based stroke poster haha

Which ingredient is bad and at what dose does it cause what adverse effect?

> sugar
ZERO CARBS
> artificial sweetener
kys retard

taurine is used in natural processes in your body and has some health benefits

> zero carbs
> sugar
kys
>random shit
which one is bad?

>sugar
it's sugar free
> caffeine
safe up to 400mg per day FOR LIFE if you don't have preexisting conditions

i do at least triple that every day, for years. bp is 120/80 resting heartbeat of 48
i think it may be giving me saddle bags due to bloat around my kidneys though

Just exercise, to counter the side effects

I would chug that in a heartbeat although it's liquid shit. Too much sugar.

The biggest thing I've seen against energy drinks is the sugar in them. Sugar free stuff has the argument of artificial sweeteners are bad for you (but less bad than sugar). The secondary thing that makes them bad is the caffeine but in moderation it's completely fine for a healthy adult. Prevailing argument is the sugar tho

just drink coffee you manchild

These people are all like 14 years old

>drinking something that tastes good and gives energy makes you a child hur dur

Haha yeah me too bro, I totally bang all the time.

Of all the things to make someone a manchild "I can only drink things that taste sweet and yummy :3" is pretty high up on the list

Because of the “chemicals”. Ask why and the people who insist they’re bad will just say “chemicals”. As which chemicals and they’ll just scoff at you and say it doesn’t matter. Energy drinks aren’t inherently bad for you. High sugar is bad for you, caffeine is addictive, if you abuse them (like drink nothing but monster for a day straight) you’ll get ill effects, but they aren’t inherently bad for you by themselves

Taurine = bull cum.

aaaaaaaannd THREAD.

(to be honest Taurine used in energy drinks is made in a lab, but it was first found in ox bile)

Just drink coffee. Same goes for pre workout. Just drink coffee before you work out.

Apparently enjoying what you eat and drink makes you childish now.

Energy drinks have a pitiful amount of caffeine in them. The "energy" you feel the is sugar

If it means you're sacrificing your health to the point where you run to Jow Forums about it, yes

Stay under 300mg caffeine a day.
The energy drinks are bad because of the sugar. You could have a mood swing later or become paranoid if you keep using caffeine.

There are certain people that probably should not have more than one Red Bull Vodka and those are people that are alcoholics. They already have a problem.

I don't drink anything with sugar in it. The energy drinks I drink whenever I choose to is Bang which has 300mg

>sacrificing health

How?

Because people were ODing on caffeine.

cbsnews.com/news/ohio-teen-died-from-caffeine-powder-overdose/

Read all about the kid who used too much caffeine.

Another waitress in the UK I believe drank like 12-24 cans of red bull trying to pull a double shift or something crazy. Now dead.

RIPPED FUEL WARRIORS! GENERATION KILL!

because it's not water.
grow up.

Ephedra extracts not containing ephedrine have not been banned by the FDA and are still sold legally today.

Products containing ephedra extract remain legal to this day.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedra

drink both

>Ephedra extracts not containing ephedrine
Yeah and marijuana extracts not containing THC are legal

but why would you want that

if you're drinking anything but water (and arguably small amounts of tea/coffee), you're a fucking idiot and you're never going to make it 100% guaranteed

>if you're drinking anything but water (and arguably small amounts of tea/coffee), you're a fucking idiot and you're never going to make it 100% guaranteed
why

I drink both. My day starts with a monster ultra zero. Then I have two americanos. And then I have another monster with lunch. Then I have another americano at 2 and then another at 4

>I can't read the nutrition table
>Or the clear warning of not to drink if pregnant/heart condition
nigger

>My day starts with a monster ultra zero.
how is the first sip?

Godly to be honest. 6:45 am, ice cold after a hot shower. Crack it open as I get in the car on my way to work.

The fact I still don't know if Sip posting was a meme or shilling is astonishing

I built up to 4 a day in an 8 hour work window. i needed them to function more than a few hours. once i got home i would crash but couldn't sleep. I would wake a minimum of 8 times in an 8 hour window. because of that I couldn't get out of bed if I tried. would stay in bed and keep cycling in and out of sleep until I had to go back to work.
I did this for about 2 years. I was a sip poster. Today I'm 3 weeks clean. I went through massive withdrawals and currently only consume a mug of coffee in the morning. I still crave the things but if I start I wont be able to stop again

>drink 2 monsters a day
>develop arrhythmia

Jesus man, you make yourself sound like a hardcore junkie

That's all fine and good, but has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I drink 3 a day, and sometimes coffee. How else am I supposed to get over 1800% of my daily recommended vitamin B12?

Why live a life where you need to drink these to function?

Why live life at all?

Just to suffer?

A 16oz flavoured coffee drink from a coffee place has more caffeine and more sugar than a can of regular monster

Fuck I like them rockstars w/ the creatine in them, get em' 3 for 4$ at the S'leven, Fuck the haters i keeps sippin

They're not necessarily bad for you, but they're lowkey medicinal potions and abusing them is not good.
The worst thing they'll do is lead you to physical exhaustion with habitual use, since the effect of the ingredients is to liberate energy stored in your body already and block your tiredness receptors, leading to poor sleeping habits and depleting the available sugars in your body.

You fucking wot m8

Fucking pleb

>Why are energy drinks so bad for you?
If you really wanna know, stop asking a siberian horticulture forum and do your own research.

I do know that many jobs that require extensive outdoor work have instituted bans on energy drinks during the summer because of the insane risk of heat stroke and your heart fucking up.
I also know that doctors recommend that you not drink energy drinks (soda in general, but especially energy drinks) if you have problems with gout.
I also know that my boomer neighbor always has an energy drink in his hands while he's mowing his lawn at 9am. They should be banned for just that

Look at this moron and laugh

Taurine is an amino acid you fucking mong

>artificial sweeteners are bad
I wish the next generation of moms will be less retarded.
We all know they won't.

i had like 3-4 already and i already know i wont get any work done, fucking hell.
when i drink 1 too many i get too hyper and reading becomes a chore, programming becomes a chore, even playing games feeels slow and gay

As a vegan I can't get B12 from natural sources (well water? Fuck off) so a couple of cans of Monster each week help me fix my diet.

Those sugar free drinks are worse for you than any thing else.

It's because of the cases where people with heart problems buy them and the caffeine kills them.

> As a vegan

>be me
>high torrenece to stress
>have to fire ppl all the time no fucks given

>tried rockstar, mother and monster no sugar
>only use monster now
>be careful user and know your body

used to sipp like can of guarana a day for year or so, was feeling fine until doing some blood tests which showed my liver enzymes have gone off the charts

This isn't mom science though
Articifical sweeteners like stevia obliterate your gut flora which in turn fucks up your immune system

I sip a ultra twice a week for those sweet brain gains the caffeine provides, also so I can listen to my boomer music sitting with my dog outside, it's top comfy. Am I consuming it on a healthy dose or I should drink only once a week or even less?
>inb4 its unhealthy either way
nigger fuck off

Bad for your image. You look like the biggest fucking tool of a fag buying carrying and drinking those stupid goofy ass looking cans. You are being judged and looked down on. Get off that gay shit and just drink coffee or do a line.

I thought we were past the "caffeine is bad for you" stuff
