Energy Drinks - A Natural Health Product?!


Question: Energy Drinks - A Natural Health Product?
It says on some Energy Drink cans that they are Natural Health Products, and yet if you drink to many of them they can kill you? This is a confusing thing because, yes there are natural health products ingredients, but it is known that energy drinks are not that good for you.
I was just wondering if they should even bother putting this on the can since it doesn't seem to be completely true.

Thanks for your help ;)

Answers:

It's well known that they can be dangerous. The FDA and several states have outlawed some of the products containing caffeine and alcohol. The problem is that there are so many different formulations containing many additives it's so it becomes difficult to determine what's dangerous and how much.

In the end it's up to the individual to decide whether they want to take the risk. The world got along just fine before energy drinks came along.

If you overdose on anything you will die, take water for example, if you drink too much water you will make your blood too thin and kill yourself. Or an overdose on paracetamol, its1 or 2 is good for you to help you feel better, but if you take 20 you will kill yourself.



No, not natural at all.
