Not so bad after all?

Reading up on Redbull.com I came across a list of the top ingredients in Redbull drinks, making the drinks seem not ALL that bad for your health (maybe okay in small amounts?) as compared to the article I read before. Taurine is one of the main ingredients that can act like an antioxident to the body and promotes detoxification of the body. What's so bad about that? Taurine can even be found as an added ingredient to most baby food! Another no-so-bad ingredient is vitamin B- which is essential in the breakdown of carbohydrates and fat. Obviously caffeine is a prime ingredient, which can improve alertness in the body, and glucuronolactone which also boosts the bodies natural detoxification process. There are other ingredients that they don't give much background for. Maybe those are the ingredients we should worry about? Maybe I'll read up on those and post about them later? Here's the link if you're interested:
