I have recently looked up all the fancy nutrition facts on the back of energy drink bottles and found some shocking evidence. People say eating too many BIg Macs can kill you, but you might as well drink an energy drink. McDonalds fries are really salty but the amount of salt in an energy drink is equal to about 5 large packages of fries from McD's!!!!! That is disgusting and I will never drink one again!!! And there is bull urine in energy drinks , taurine (www.reference.com) That is no myth it is a fact and I have looked it up!!!!!! So will you still drink them?

no, never have. Did my research when they first came out. People are just sheep falling for the marketing hype.

Guess what? There's fish scales in lipstick.
Gelatin is made from bone marrow.
Will you still use those products? Probably, because Jello is low in calories, and lipstick makes you look good.
By the way, if you read the article at reference.com, you will learn that taurine CAN come from bull urine, but doesn't HAVE to. It's just a protien that happens to exist in bull urine! It's also known to stimulate many areas of the brain. Taurine deficiencies can cause birth defects such as brain damage in newborns! And guess what? Unless you have a deficiency, YOUR BODY also produces taurine.
Don't believe everything you hear.

Most things are bad for us, but sometimes there are some good in the bad. So my advise is to take everything in moderation. Everything sold in a packet (cookies, tinned soups, bottled drinks, corn beef and other canned items) are bad for us as they contain lots of preservatives and high amounts of sugar and salt but it doesn't mean we should avoid them altogether.
I've never taken energy drinks before, so your information does not affect me at all, as i will still not take them.

That doesn't sound too bad. I don't drink them very often because of the low after the high. By the way, it's not actually urine, although it does come from bulls' parts.

I have found that drinking a lot of water and eating right will naturally increase your energy level, but we have turned into a generation of instant gratification or nothing.

Will it still provide the desired effect I know or not?
Yes, I would still drink it.
Consider how much rat droppings are allowed in flour.......
Look up the parts per million allowed by the FDA .......
It will surprise you to know pet food is required less parts than human consumption.

No, they have so much sugar that they temporarily make your blood sugar spike...but then you get the inevitable crash and get tired. They are many times filled with calories, sodium and "vitamins". Opt for drinking more water for more energy!
