Energy Drinks...

[TuRdz]

...apparently highly unhealthy. The caffeine in the drink is what's unhealthy. Taurine however (the most advertised ingredient) is actually healthy for you and helps with metabolism. No adverse health effects have been recorded from 1000mg of Taurine per Kg of body weight.

I love energy drinks, but hate the unhealthy side of them. They should make decaffeinated energy drinks, but leave the Taurine in. Anyone else agree???

**I found this information because one of my friends had told me that Taurine came from Bull's testicles :S Apparently it comes from animal proteins, soooo yeah. Still tastes good :P :yeah:

Energy drinks are the bane of my life and I don't give a shit if they're unhealthy.

Energy drinks are the bane of my life and I don't give a shit if they're unhealthy.

This pretty much sums up my opinion. I just love them xD

[Scarface]

I live off of Red Bull and Amp. Without them I definitely wouldn't be able to get through much work. So I don't particularly care if they're unhealthy.

[TuRdz]

Hahaha!!!
Yeah, I love them too. I was just thinking that it'll cost you in long run. I'm not sure how, but everyone says so...

[Nevermore]

Had a sip of red bull hated it. I want to try blue monster because it's zero calories and carbs my friend said.

I hate Red Bull...LOVE MONSTER..
Except as an EMT, I've seen lots of bad things with energy drinks...people drinking like 3 before a race= cardiac arrest during the race...

Hardly ever drink them, but I kinda love it.
The taste and the effect are pretty good.

I used to love energy drinks like Monster, Relentless, Rockstar, so on. but they're absolutely full of calories.. I put on weight after going through a phase I was addicted to them. =[

Plus, I don't want a heart attack. So I quit them. Just sticking to the coke now.

I hate energy drinks. I don't like the taste. And crashing after one is no walk in the park.

[RoseyCadaver]

I'm not a fan of un-healthy overly sugered caffeinated soda :P,but I like the taste of some like Monster :D.Plus I can't drink them that much do due to issues I have with heart.

Caffeine is kind of the point of an energy drinks, if they didn't have caffeine they wouldn't give you as much energy...

I drink enough caffeine anyway through tea so it doesn't really bother me.

My doctor actually reccomends I drink caffeine for my heart problem... yet my dad has to not drink as much for his xD

I don't like energy drinks. Might be the artificial stuff, or just that I know it's unhealthy so I cringe. I like natural flavoured waters, with added vitamins and such. I get my caffeine from my tea and coffee diet. :P

I personally hate most of them. I have braces now so if I take a little drink my braces are just covered in sugar. I like Monster, but I think all of the other stuff sucks. And just knowing all of that sugar and other stuff goes on your teeth is just kinda gross. Plus they are mostly unhealthy so ya

[RElk]

The only ones I drink, if I have one, are AMP or Wired. I've had NOS, which it okay but I don't drink that very often. But the grape flavour is pretty good.

It's amusing because I was gonna post exactly the same thing last night.

Caffeine isn't really the main energy giver with energy drinks, its more the sugars and gurana and stuff.
But if people understood the positives of Taurine, I think energy drinks would more be promoted.
Personally I love Red Bull (:

Someone with sense :D.:P I just find it silly how some people can't find the "energy" rto do things so they need a magic drink,especially people of my age today,so they have to drink an unhealthy amount of sugar water and caffeine to get it :P.
