The Truth About Energy Drinks

I don't recommend anyone to drink soft drinks or energy drink!!

This mainly due to my late mom influence, she have been told by her Dad, who is a self-Study Chinese Physician.

The sugar, caffieine and any energy booster's certainly is no good for health.

So, for your great health, don't give yourself & your love ones these so call soft drinks or energy drinks.

The truth about energy drinks

Energy drinks usually contain sugar, caffeine (often 80mg a can, the same as a strong cup of coffee) and taurine, a sulphur containing amino acid. While there is debate about the health effects of regular consumption, many experts believe mixing energy drinks with alcohol is dangerous and should be avoided. Addiction specialist Maher Karam Hage, of the University of Michigan, said "The best analogy I can come up with is it's the same as driving a car, putting one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes." He also recommended energy drinks not be consumed before exercise, as the caffeine and other diuretics in the beverages can put a strain on the body. This can cause dehydration or even collapse.
