Answer 1

EDTA is an organic molicues that surrounds mineral molecues so that they are removed from the body. It is normally the heavy minerals that are bad for us like arsenic, cadmium, and lead. It also reduces calcium based plaque from our blood vessels.

Why this would be necessary for Amp is beyond me. I also don't know how much they have in it. Perhaps bevnet.com will mention it. They review ALL drinks and have all sorts of information on them and their companies.

Regardless of if it has EDTA in it or not you should not have that much. We should not have more than 2 energy drinks a day. Even healthy energy drink makers like XS Energy recommend against having more than 2 in a day. So having 3 or 4 at night is even worse.

Regular energy drinks like Amp have plenty of calories (120 per serving) and a huge amount of sugar (30 g per serving)and caffeine (150 mg or more per serving). The sugar will make you crash and the caffeine will dehydrate you. Being dehydrated will make us physically and mentially tired too so it intensifies the crash effect of the sugar. A recent study showed that folks that took in 300 mg or more of caffeine a day started to show signs of serioius health issues.

From now on I would really stick to 2 glasses of water. If you still feel tired after that then have an enery drink. One, not 4. Getting enough water will increase our motabolism and energy levles naturally by 3%.
