How bad for you are energy drinks?

Answer 1

Well, I've been looking this up trying to figure it out, because you hear it ALOT but I've never heard any credible source claim it. Obviously the average energy drink is loaded with unnecessary sugar and excessive caffeine. But as far as I'm aware, the caffeine isn't above a daily upper limit, and added sugar isn't exactly"bad" for you, it's just not good and unnecessary. However I'm not a professional, and I'm going to keep digging around until I find I a definitive answer from somebody who actually understands why they are or aren't bad as opposed to a 'well my doctor said' answer.

Answer 2

First of all energy drinks have high amounts of caffeine but companies do not need to provide the exact amounts of caffeine are in the drink unlike drugs. Second it is filled with sugars which if consumed in large amounts without burning it off can result in obesity or becoming overweight. Last but not least Caffeine is a crystalline compound that is found in tea, coffee, and other drinks. Caffeine serves as a stimulant for your nervous system and can stunt growth if consumed in large amounts and accelerate your blood flow to the point of death.
