Is red bull bad for you??!


Question:

Is red bull bad for you??

Ok, is red bull bad for you? the energy drink without the sugar? i've been drinking that for a month now, and if i dont have eeven one a day, i feel tired. i think i'm addicted :(


Answers:
YES! it's very bad for you. The high concentrations of caffeine play havoc with your body.

The reason you feel tired if you do not drink it is because the caffeine over-stimulates your system and most likely you are deprived of sleep. Caffeine has a lot of other bad side effects too (have a look at the website).

There is an artificial sweetener in sugar free red-bull called aspartame, which a lot of studies have linked to developing cancer, and a number of other very undesirable side effects (see website).

If you have to have that caffeine fix (which, yes, would mean you're addicted), have a cup of tea or coffee, but avoid red bull. It's really bad for your health. What's the point of putting something so unnatural into your body?

its good for you but you shouldnt depend on it to get moving...

It has a lot of caffeine, look out for that.

If its affecting you like that, definitely! Power drinks affect the heart rate and in excess and with abuse, can even lead to liver failure, cardiac arrest, etc.

It can be if you drink to much.. it's just like coffee so i guess both arent good but they arent gonna kill you or anything lol

yes you probably are addicted. and it's certainly not good for you. it's a fad product, designed by a marketing company not nutritionists.

Caffeine will do that to you. It sounds like you are addicted. Try to drink more water (or juices)...caffeine will dry you out too (as I found out personally). Don't stop drinking it cold turkey...that is bad for your system too...just try to gradually cut down (drink half instead of a whole) but especially drink more water. They have those "soda" juices that are a high percentage of juice with carbonation...they taste good and are a better option to other carbonated beverages.

LOLL SEEMAA AHAHAHAH WUHOO BUDDY IM SO GLAD UR ON ANSWERS NOW!! YES ITS BAD FOR U CAFFINE AND ALL THA SUGAR IS NO GOOD

eh,let me put it this way.it's not legal to sell in norway where i'm from because off the high caffeine content

I think you answered your own question...

sounds like you are addicted lol (says he with a name like coffeeaddict_uk). Believe me, caffiene is addictive. Drink more water to try and flush your system and cut down on red bull.
