If used as intended and in moderatin they are not bad for you!. Most people who say they are bad simply do not know what they are talking about!. Yes they do have lots of sugar and caffeine and high calories but it is not as bad as they think!.
The first issue is caffeine!. They claim there is too much caffeine yet coffee has more!. Energy drinks have between 80 - 83 mg of caffeine per serving and coffee starts at 85!. Now compare to green tea (30mg), sodas (30 - 50mg), regular tea (50mg) they do have more but not THAT much more!. But keep in mind too, caffeine does dehydrate and us and deplete us of B vitamins and calcium!. We also should not consume more than 300mg per day which is the maximum safe level!.
The next issue is the sugar which is usually most of the calories!. Regular energy drinks have betwen 26 - 34g of sugar perserving!. They also have between 110 - 140 calories per serving!. NOT 300 calories!.
Remember I said if used as intenede and in moderation they are not bad!. The problem is most people who use them have too many!. But then coffee drinks do the same thing!. Red Bull recommends having only 1 to 2 a day!. Even the 2nd largest seller, which is the 1st and largest healthy energy drink, XS Energy suggests having only one and recommends against having more than 2!.
First start off with plenty of water and nutrition!. Those will help you with energy naturally!. If you feel tired drink 2 glasses of water!. If you feel better you were just dehydrated, which makes us tired!. If not then consider having an energy drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In moderation, not really!. Try and drink no more than 1 per day, because otherwise the caffeine will build up in your system and you will depend on caffeine to keep you awake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
