Energy Drinks are Unhealthy

July 26th 2010 13:11
Even though I know how unhealthy they are, I am guilty of drinking a Red Bull on occasion. I tend to find that I don't sleep well at night, and there are some days in which I need a pick-me-up to help me get through the day being productive.

The problem though, is that energy drinks have loads of caffeine and sugar that just aren't good for you. The amount of caffeine in an average energy drink equals to about a cup of coffee or more than one 12-ounce soda.


Energy drinks on occasion are fine, but if you drink them regularly, they can cause a few health concerns that you should be aware of. The caffeine can dehydrate you, so you'll want to make sure to drink water throughout the day to help compensate the diuretic. The ephedrine that's in energy drinks can lead to heart problems. Energy drinks can cause complications for pregnant and nursing women, as well as children.

There have been many people taken to the hospital due to the effects caused by drinking energy drinks all the time. It's not the drink, but the ingredients that cause other problems for you.
