At the end when they say increases risk of this or that, do they mean regular or diet? That makes a difference. I know, gotta do more research if you want to know.

I'm sure eating and drinking anything these days increases the risk of anything. You just can't win.

Just like the pharmaceuticals commercials.. they all conclude with warnings about the potential dangers of actually taking the drug.. increased risk of stroke or death always works for me.

May cause nausea or diarrhea. Yeah, makes me want to take it.

Listening on the radio yesterday concerning the dangers of kids pounding down energy drinks and the ton of sugar they are adding to their bodies. The biggest worry is the ones that are drinking 4-5 cans or more before they play a game such as football or before swim etc for the energy boost so they will perform better or have more speed/energy. If that is not bad enough they will pound down even more during half time or breaks. They have no understanding what they are doing to their bodies and the physical danger they are putting themselves in. Sad.

I used to stop and get an energy drink before work each night.. seemed to help but I really think alot of the effect is psychological more than physical.

I did see an article yesterday that said kids are dying because of energy drink consumption but I think alot of that is hype and hooie.. not to mention the bad publicity just sells more of the product.
