Let's see this same study done with energy drinks ๐Ÿ‘€

What do energy drinks even contain that is harmful to you? Beyond just caffeine and sugar?

Taurine is an amino acid that exists basically everywhere and throughout our entire bodies. It is not harmful to consume. Many other foods have high quantities of taurine naturally.

How about in. combination to other ingredients? For example in combination with caffeine. There's one study, 'ENERGY DRINKS: WHY THE COMBINATION OF TAURINE AND CAFFEINE CAN BE BAD FOR THE HEART', but I am not sure if it's scientific enough.

I think the shitton of sugar is the main concern, actually

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Sure, but that is by far not exclusive to energy drinks, that often have less sugar than typical sodas, even.

Typical sodas are also terrible for your health, though
