Are low-carb energy drinks healthy?
I was wondering if the low-carb energy drinks(like monster)are healthier for you then the regular ones?
Answers:
Carbs come from all sorts of foods and ingredients like sugar, bread, potatoes. A lot of carbs have lots of calories and so less carbs means less calories a lot of the time. Usually reducing carbs means taking out the sugar and putting in substitute sugar like diet coke etc. Splenda seems to be a good substitute for sugar without giving you carbs and calories. I've been told that XS has no carbs or sugar in it and it has like 10 calories.

You can look at that for more info. I know Red bull has like 27 grams of sugar and 110 calories so you take in more than you burn. That's probably why low carb energy drinks are better.
