The New Water Replacement Called Energy Drink

It would be safe to say that the energy drink is now being seen as the water replacement. With all the news and hype that surrounds the energy drink inner sanctum, and with the tens of billions of dollars going up in the proverbial world of advertising glitz and glamour, it would be safe to say that the modern energy drink could possibly be the next water replacement. However, the burning question is this. Are energy drinks good for you?

Energy drinks generally contain methylxanthines (including caffeine), B vitamins, carbonated water, and high-fructose corn syrup (for non-diet versions). Other commonly used ingredients are guarana, yerba mate, aa, and taurine, plus various forms of ginseng, maltodextrin, inositol, carnitine, creatine, glucuronolactone, sucralose and ginkgo biloba.

The sugar in non-diet energy drinks is a fuel that can be utilized by the human body. In this limited sense, these energy drinks do contain energy. Although the caffeine and other noncaloric stimulants in energy drinks can help one feel more alert, these substances are not a source of 'energy' in the physical science sense of the word.

Some contain high levels of sugar, and many brands offer artificially sweetened 'diet' versions. A common ingredient in most energy drinks is caffeine (often in the form of guarana or yerba mate). Caffeine is the stimulant that is found in coffee and tea. There is little or no evidence that any of the ingredients found in energy drinks other than caffeine or sugar have a significant physiological effect.

Energy drinks contain about three times the amount of caffeine as cola. Twelve ounces of Coca-Cola Classic contains 35 mg of caffeine, whereas a Monster Energy Drink contains 120 mg of caffeine.

Thanks to Wikipedia.org for that timely short article about the contents of energy drinks.
