Question by Karla: Exactly how bad are energy drinks for you?
I drink energy drinks such as Red Bull and Tab Energy quite frequently and people are always telling me how bad they are for you. However, I’m sure I do a lot worse things for my body. Are they actually that harmful?
Best answer:
Answer by eventfulnights82
well they have like 60 grams of carbs, which is really really a lot (like thats as much as a whole loaf of bread) and carbonation has been proven to be bad for bones and teeth. and excess caffine cant stunt growth. i stay away from them, but i eat very healthy.
What do you think? Answer below!
i heard the ones that still have ephedra are bad, if they still even market them. moderation is the key i’m sure.
I just heard they are bad for your teeth.

that explains energy drinks
Here is a synopsis of an article from GNC on energy drinks:
Now, here’s the latest on “Energy Drinks” discovered by Vance Alford.
We received a free GNC magazine and they had an article about how bad energy drinks really are for you here are some of the statistics the study came up with..
Top 5 worst energy drinks are:
1) MONSTER
2) Sobe No Fear
3) Amp’d
4) Full Throttle
5) Rockstar
Red Bull with no sugar was rated as the best energy drink for you,but rightfully enough it had the least effect on your body..(gave you the least energy). here’s some other scary statistics it showed in the article..
For every 20oz. of Monster you drink it takes 6.3 gallons of water to flush it out of your kidneys. The average person drinks 6.3 gallons of water in 23 days.. for every 20oz of Red Bull, with no sugar, you drink it takes .9 gallons of water to flush out your kidneys and the average person drinks .9 gallons of water in about 2 days. (I have no idea who an “average person” is, but anyway…..)
Another study showed…
If the average person drank 5 Monsters a day for 12 years, and did not drink 1 gallon of water per day he/she would have kidney failure within 5 years…
Some more…
The average energy drinker drinks 2 energy drinks a day to equal the sugar in 2 Monster you would have to eat 13 scoops of ice cream a day.. Red Bull, with no sugar, it would take 2 scoops of ice cream in a day to equal two red bulls with no sugar..
Those are real scary numbers. I think I’d lay off the Monster… even the best energy drink for you which is Red Bull with no sugar, even it looks real bad for you…
