Hey everyone!

A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook and it was really insightful! I tend to drink a lot of energy drinks and this really opened my eyes to just how terrible they are for you and how much sugar they contain.

    I only drink sugar free energy drinks and I TRY and not drink them everyday. Too many things in them that I'm not sure how they'll affect me long term. I've found that some of the sugar free ones are really good - Monster Absolutely Zero, Rockstar in a the pink can, Sugar free Red Bull are my faves.

    Haha, just cracked open a Tilt and then saw this. I generally don't like regular energy drinks but I like that ones that contain alcohol when having some drinks because they me awake ( I am a lightweight and usually once I get a little tipsy I am ready for bed, lol)

    I had a can of Relentless the other day and changed my settings to include sugar. As I scrolled down... I nearly died! It took about 50 sugars... so put me off!!! :)

    Do people truly think these are healthy??
    A can full of sugar and chemicals in a unregulated quantity,.... sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, and a great marketing job by the producers!
