I Hear This Is How Your Body Reacts To Red Bull (Rather Discouraging News)

"Red Bull gives you wings" but at what expense?

I wonder where all of these 'energy drinks' even came from, I never feel any extra energy when I take them. By the way, back in the day when a person needed energy fast, the solution was either to take glucose ( I still love the cool, sweet taste) or Lucozade boost. Now, it's one energy drink or the other. Anyway, this is what I heard about Red Bull in particular.

After drinking Red Bull, your blood is similar to that of a person suffering cardiovascular disease. They say drinking one of their energy drinks is the same as drinking coffee or soda, and you might have the same energy you get with coffee and soda, but the difference is that no one really knows what all the ingredients in a Red Bull are. We also don’t really know how those ingredients interact with the body.

Of course, one major ingredient is aspartame, which has been shown to be neurotoxic, allergenic, and carcinogenic. Pair that with other ingredients and you have a recipe for a vicious cycle of energy drink consumption that can be deadly.

“No less than 3.5 billion cans of Red Bull were sold last year in 143 countries. Yet, questions regarding the safety of Red Bull, as well as other energy drinks, keep cropping up at regular intervals when yet another overzealous energy-addict keels over,” says Dr. Mercola. 

Energy drinks have even begun to outsell bottled water. Who is at the highest risk? If you suffer any of the following, do NOT drink Red Bull: 

Anxiety
High blood pressure
High stress
Caffeine sensitivity
Blood clotting disorders
Chronic fatigue
Any cardiovascular disease. 

It’s not advised to drink Red Bull if you’re pregnant too. Instead, try to improve your energy naturally. Exercise regularly, eat good foods, increase your intake of omega-3 fats and eliminate grains and sugars from your diet.

Get 'high' on Red Bull (or other energy drinks) at your own risk
