Energy Drinks, Pros and Cons
These days there are a million energy drinks on the market. Most are loaded with sugar and caffeine. Some have creatine additives, which aren’t exactly stable and some have amino acids such as carnatine and taurine. I drink them every now and then but I always go for the sugar free or “Low Carb” drinks. Some of them taste terrible and some taste pretty pleasant. My favorites? Sobe No Fear, Sobe Adrenaline, and Red Bull (all sugar free of course). Anyone with half a brain knows that too much caffeine is bad for you, especially when you don’t expend it. Here is a short excerpt from MSN. Click the link below for the full article.
“Caffeine, the main ingredient in energy drinks, isn’t directly toxic to the heart. But if you have almost any type of underlying heart disease, even a small amount of caffeine can stimulate the heart and cause problems. Caffeine can increase your blood pressure, and sometimes impair blood flow to your heart. It may trigger abnormal heart rhythms, which can be life-threatening in people at high risk.”

Thanks for your highly intellectual input, Davina. Perhaps you’re drinking too many and that’s why you sound so angry. Perhaps you can stop by more often and give us more of your super-duper advice!
