Monster is healthier than Red Bull or Full Throttle, but it still causes major inbalances in your metabolism and blood sugar levels. Amp is probably the most neutral but it doesn't really work. Rockstar is actually good for you, it contains Milk Thistle, which has the active ingrediant selenium. This regenerates damaged liver tissue and protects against further liver damage. Also, taurine, which is in just about all energy drinks, helps the body digest protein, and it's reaction with selenium increases the effincency of this process. I was sick for 3 months where I couldn't eat a thing, it turned out I had a liver problem that meant the toxins in what I ate were going straight into my blood. I drank Rockstar religiously, and it worked better than any medication. I have hypoglycemia, so I'm very sensitive to sugar, I only drink diet Rockstar.I drink one every morning. Almost 2000 mg of taurine per can, 400% of your vitamin B2 requirements, 100% of B5, 100% of B12, 100% of B3, 100% of B6, 200% of Vitamin C... lots of good things

Not really. With all that sugar and caffeine anhydrous, it is designed to hit you with the caffeine and then keep you with the sugar. There is a new energy drink on the market that doesn't have the sugar and caffeine anydrous and it lasts longer too. Go to my profile if you want more information.

Every thing, when taken in large amounts, is harmful.
