“Energy drinks are SOOOO bad for you!” Are they though???

I’ve got a thought and some lived experience. I used to rely on energy drinks nonstop doing field service and long drives. They didn’t actually give me energy. They just pushed the crash further down the road. Caffeine isn’t evil. But stimulation isn’t fuel either. Once sleep, food, and hydration were dialed in, The “need” disappeared.

Yeah they shouldn’t be used as a crutch but they’re not inherently problematic if they’re not overdone

They are definitely bad. Sure, one here and there isn't going to hurt you, but every single day? Not at all good.

Why are they bad?

Is one can "bad?" No. That's not what we're talking about in reality, what we're talking about is 2 or 3 or more every single day. That's not healthy. Too much caffeine and other stimulants and artificial sweeteners. Not good, especially over time.

You can definitely overdo them

Chances are high that if you do them, you overdo them. Stimulants are pretty addictive.

Every person decrying energy drinks: 1. Fat 2. Thinks they’re not fat because they don’t have a protrusive gut but are in fact fat 3. Mediocre flabby scrawny 4. Gym 3x a week for 20 minutes at most 5. Most indulgent coombrain you’ll meet 6. Has a 150mg caffeine coffee every day

If they are so bad for me, then why do I need them to live?

😆😆😆

I don't think citric acid is from lemons bro 😂

Just a small addendum from @grok: the citric acid in pretty much every processed food, soda, candy, cleaner, or whatever the hell else you buy? That crap is almost never from fruit anymore. Like 99% of the world’s supply (over 2 million tons a year) is manufactured by feeding sugar (often from corn or molasses) to black mold—Aspergillus niger—in massive fermentation tanks. The mold shits out citric acid, they filter it, purify it, and boom: white powder ready to preserve your junk food. Way cheaper and scalable than squeezing billions of lemons.

I stopped at citric acid is from lemons. It is not! It’s made from BLACK MOLD!

What condition are you suffering from that is affecting your height like this? Is there a cure?

I mean, yeah dawg, more likely than not. I don’t really need a study or evidence or anything, ya know just like common sense that this sparkling neon blue buzzing and popping drink probably isn’t the best thing for me to drink. But whatever who cares, drink em up

These are all terrible for you you should consume 10lbs of cane sugar or corn syrup per day which is much more natural and safer

what if i drink 6 - 8 a day

Yes they are though. What this know it all isn't accounting for are secondary compounds created when mixing chemicals together. For instance a common preservative in drinks is sodium benzoate and when sodium benzoate is mixed with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) it becomes a carcinogen called benzene. Just one of many examples. You're welcome.

Almost all artificial flavours and sweeteners are harmful to microbiome. And microbiome is connected with the brain through gut-brain axis. So basically problems with gut microbiome can cause anxiety, depression and other mental problems. And don't forget about high dose of caffeine in energetic drinks, which is also not healthy at all.

citric acid doesnt come from lime or lemon. its comes from farmed mold...

Here's milk for the chemically uneducated as an illustration

i WILL continue to drink these ;-;

For the people who decide to comment on the Citric acid thing. Apergillus Niger’s Citric Acid IS infact exactly the same as lemon’s Citric Acid. Aspergillus Niger acid may have traces of the fungi in it, that’s it.

If you stop drinking caffeine, energy drinks, and soda for a month your body heals and you have natural cycles. Coffee addiction, tea, and energy drinks are a scam.

Well, they probably arent as good for us as we think...

A single shot of tequila won't do anything to you. Neither will a single glass of red wine, 1 beer, 1 shot of whiskey, 1 glass of white wine, 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of vodka, 1 cup of sake. But mix them all together in 1 drink and you'll be throwing up violently.

Sooo funny. 😁 I had to share with like 20 people 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@johnnycrypto_2

Legit though, are they bad for you? I used to drink lots of them and I feel like they had a negative effect on me.

This is the validation I needed

You know you’re coping hard when you gotta list the dosage amount for intoxication for each item lmao. Just drink water with a pinch of high quality salt and some lemon juice. There’s no healthier option than that.

Dean is r3tard maxxing hard. I love it. Keep drinking energy drinks cuh.

imma add for diet sodas wich are99% water btw the water will drown you about 60 cans before the aspartame can do anything

White Monster is my Favorite energy drink

Facts laid out with no BS. I like it.

Cool story bro. In the 60's we were told that 9 out of 10 Doctors smoked Camel cigarettes, so cigarettes must be totally healthy right? 🤣

I know a guy who died of a heart attack from drinking energy drinks when I was a kid but he would drink like 15 cans of monster before lunch every day for years. Also didnt sleep much because he was going to school for graphic design. His heart popped like a balloon one night

We called this guy pineapple in high school and he used to tease me for having a pretty sister. Haha. Good to see Jeff is doing well.

thanks i needed this, it made me feel better of having one every other day

Stupidest shilling video ever.

A lot of people defending processed foods in these comments….
