Re: Energy Drinks

Ok, I have to make a comment. I have tried all the drinks years ago when they first appeared in Europe. Of all the drinks mentioned in webMD's article Red Bull is my favorite (now sugar fee version). I have a few questions, if sugar is the ingredient that makes you smarter etc. why is the sugar free version just as effective. Also, ask yourself what's in a can of coke? Answer, absolute nothing that is good for you, except for some small amount of water. Conclusion, B vitamins are good for you, ginseng has been used in China since the beginning of time, and we all know alcohol in any form or fashion is good, and caffeine is what makes the world go round.

Red Bull is a great pick me up on a hot day when you want to squeeze in one more session. As far as pointing out ingredients, next time you eat Jell-O, take a look at the contents, one is casein or Kasine, which is the main ingredient in Elmer’s Glue

Re: Energy Drinks

Even worse - anybody read the ingrediants on a bag of Oreos?  I used to eat them at the lake.  Now I understand they are listed as a WMD in California.

LOOK OUT - INCOMING:
(from the Lake Wind advisory news page.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A consumer group on Wednesday petitioned the U.S. government to limit levels of a possible cancer-causing chemical in potato chips, cookies, coffee, bread and certain other foods.

The chemical, acrylamide, causes cancer in animals, and high doses have been linked to nerve damage in people. But the Food and Drug Administration said it does not yet know whether the lower levels found in foods are harmful to humans.  Itwas noted that the chemical is especially harmful to those participating in watersports, such as windsurfing when combined with energy drinks and junk food.  "We don't know why, but wind, water, carbon fiber, energy drinks and oreos combined with acrylamide seems to be a fatal combination for those engaged in sports like windsurfing.  We are conducting several experiments on rats to see why.  However, rats don't sail very well.  Perhaps we can teach them to kitesurf to get to the bottom of this." said noted scientist Dr. Sars Van Pugh.
