Are Energy Drinks Rilly Bad for You?

Question

I'm going to make a documentary titled, "Super-Energize Me" where I drink 7 Red Bulls, 3 Rockstars, and two Monsters every day for a month. Is this a good idea?

I mean, what's so bad about taurine? I know it's derived from animal bile (and I know it was first separated from bull's bile, thus the name; but humans have it too); and I know that carnitine is an alkyl (a free radical)--which by the way has been known to help people with diabetes II. Is that what's so baaaaaaad for you? Or is it the immense amounts of sugar these drinks come with?

Answer 1

The idea behind Super Size me was to be more like the average American. I fail to see why you would want to do this. It is MUCH more than average Americans, even Average Erergy drink consumers will drink.

What about, all of the sugar, all of the caffein, and all of the calories. I think you will seriously put yourself in a world of hurt. I do not think this is a good idea at all.

You are goint to have problems wwith excess sugar consumption and probably devlop some nerve disorders. Hopefully short lived ones if you do actually try this. That is a bunch of liquid so you probably would not drink water and caffeine dehydrages. I also think you will end up with feeling sluggish and tired, have headaches, and insomnia from the caffeine.

Please consider doing something else. I don't think you will last much more than a week if you tried this.

Answer 2

Energy drinks are horrible for you... the give you a burst of energy then leave you sluggish after awhile.  they are full of caffiene which is bad for you because it dehydrates you.  I don't know about taurine but it doesn't sound good hehe

Answer 6

That my friend is a very, very, bad idea! Why?

Because it can cause irreparable damage to your heart, kidneys and liver!

Energy drinks are for a quick upper when you need a leg up. Not to be abused as liquid "speed"! Drinking too many is hard on the body and mind too. Your body is not used to it and will become dependant on these "stimulants".

The crash afterwards is equally bad esp if U use them when you are exhausted and need rest!

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

These drinks do have a high sugar content. Way I see it is that everything is apparently "killing" you. You may find it hard to sleep after a few days with that much sugar and taurine!

I'd say you can give it a try and if you find it's effecting your sleep, moods ect.. Then don't be silly and keep it going but to stop and research why your moods changed ect...
