Energy Drinks Facts
The energy drink facts are confusing because of several unrelated issues:1. The public assumes that all energy drinks are the same and therefore, unhealthy.
2. Most adults consume caffeine, sugar, and vitamins -- But assume that, when combined in a carbonated beverage, these same ingredients become "dangerous".
3. Youths have a tendency to go to extremes. This was true before energy drinks arrived.
4. Marketers of energy drinks use suggestive advertising to imply that by consuming a lot of what they are selling, teens can live a more glamorous exciting life.
5. Most energy drinks are formulated using a lot of sugar and/or artificial sweeteners to mask the taste of bitter caffeine anhydrous and B vitamins. They also know that sugar encourages users to consume more of their product, to keep the short-lived sugar high going.
