What are some of the upsides to energy drinks?

Question

I hear a lot about them being harmful, but what are some of the positive aspects?

Answer 1

I don't see an upside, they come in a single use container and are full of nonfood chemicals. Some have natural herbs in them which can have adverse reactions with many medications. If you need a little boost, try getting a good night sleep, eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Still need a little something try Yerba buena tea.

Answer 2

absolutely none. well maybe for the health care system, which would get more money. they have too much guarana and caffeine. something that does work is 5 hr. energy (from what i have heard), although it isn't much better. eat an abundance of natural foods to get the daily energy you need.

Answer 3

Your dentist gets richer faster, because all that sugar will help your teeth to rot faster...as far as I have read, there are NO positive aspects of the drinks...sometimes the chemicals (even if they are naturally-occurring, they are chemicals) are in too high of a dose for kids/teens and can make their hearts race in some instances.

Try jumping jacks if you want to have some energy!
