how bad are energy drinks? what can happen if you drink more than 10 a week or so?

Question

Drinking a 16 oz can of monster energy drink once a day for 5 days a week is bad for you. ..?

Answer 1

Nothing good: Energy drinks are generally high in caffeine and have no nutritional value. Avoid them.

Answer 2

This is debatable: A lot of energy drinks contain too much sugar. The energy boost often comes from added caffeine. There are many other ingredients that are not necessarily regulated and have varying degrees of effects or side effects. I refer you to the following link for a commentary on the rising concern of energy drinks. www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/blogs/daily-dose/2013/04/11/energy-drinks-health-risks-incr.

Answer 3

Both are Bad: Energy drinks are "heart attack in a can" both cause increase adrenaline release and lead to adrenal exhaustion after a while. To have abundant non-hyper energy: take an organic vitamin/mineral supplement, drink 8 glasses of filtered water daily, rebounding, avoid acids in diet such as sodas. Consider acid free healthy coffees with ganoderma www.Medac4u.Com.

Answer 4

?-which is worse: There is already an fda investigation into deaths and injuries related to energy drinks, which contain high doses (sometimes unknown amounts) of caffeine. Safe consumption of coffee is 2-3 cups per day, generally in the morning. Higher doses raise blood pressure and pulse, increase anxiety and insomnia. Some of these drinks contain more caffeine than 5 cups of strong coffee. They're not good for u.

Answer 5

Yes, in a way . . .: Energy drinks are "high caffeine" drinks, usually flavored and contain sweeteners. Mixing the alcohol into the energy drink shouldn't create any new toxic drug, but one may end up drinking faster and drinking more because of the flavor and sweeteners. That means more alcohol and more caffeine end up inside the body, so one can get sick from excess caffeine, and drunk or dead from excess alcohol.

Answer 6

Yes: A major danger of these energy drinks is that many people think that you can drink more alcohol on them and not "feel" as drunk. This is absolutely untrue, and the companies who were essentially advertising this to younger people were forced to stop those ads years ago. These drinks are high dose caffeine with assorted useless stuff, no matter what their ads say. Combined with alcohol=bad combo.

Answer 7

MegaBuzz=Bad Heart: A 16 ounce energy drink has 13 teaspoons of sugar [about 1/4 cup!] & as much caffeine as 4 or more cola drinks. If you're a jock, the high sugar can dehydrate you. Also the high caffeine can make your heart beat fast and could potentially cause bad heart rhythms.

Answer 8

Don't drink them: Replace the energy drinks with something else that don't make you feel sick. In general, water is always the best drink.

Answer 9

Safe: There is little evidence that "energy drinks" provide the benefits that are described by the manufacturer. But they are safe to use, with no side effects or hazards.
