What are the health effects of drinking energy drinks like red bull and five hour energy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: I have to admit I have used them occasionally, but I don't recommend them. Some are better than others, but they all have a lot of things in them that aren't very good for you and there is no quality control to guarantee they have exactly what it says on the label. Many of them have extremely high levels of caffeine.
