"Most people who are prescribed a drug ask about the side effects, yet people happily consume a beverage with ingredients they can't pronounce". I thought this was funny because it is SO TRUE!!
I found this quote on an article from ABC news which discusses the fact that you should "know your energy drink". The articles main focus was to talk about how energy drinks and the hot weather of the summer are NOT a good mix! It discusses the physical dangers of drinking these drinks in the summer because if you are participating in strenuous physical activity, it can cause you to collapse or even suffer a heat stroke ( not a risk I'm willing to take!). The article also tells of a company which produces the energy drink EndoRush who openly states that one should not consume an energy drink if they are unsure of their physical health condition without contacting a physician first. If the producers of these drinks know of the danergous effects, why still create them!? One last thing I found to be interesting about this article was the part where it discussed how often, these plants that these companies use, are really not natural and healthy like some may assume. Companies often claim these ingredients, such as Guarana, to be natural and coming from plants to make them sound as though they are found all over and that obviously if they come from nature, they must be somewhat healthy (or at least not bad for you). But, instead, this is just a way for the company to make more money, because honestly, who is going to buy a drink they know has the worst health risks for them?
