Energy Drink - Info Request - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-20-2007, 02:40 AM

hey guys, i have to do a report for my o-chem/biochem class. it's basically a report where you gather information and put it in your paper (with proper acknowledgments, of course). here's what i will be talking about:

For my research report, I will be talking about energy drinks. More specifically, I will talk about why and how they work; what the ingredients do, what your body does with the ingredients and how it reacts to them. In addition, I will talk about if energy drinks are bad for you, and if they are, at what quantity levels and why.

i have found several sites already, but i would like more. i have only found one good site/source for why energy drinks are bad for you (don't get me wrong, i drink energy drinks), and i would like more information on this.

if you guys have any sites/sources about energy drinks, i will appreciate it if you let me know about them. thanks.

p.s. my personal favorite is Rockstar

Monster is my favorite either the regular green or the Lo-Carb. I am kind of watching my figure . My ex girlfriend is a sports medicine specialist and she said that some of those have to much of some ingredients and the body doesnt absorb them fully and they are just burned off.

brickhardmeat · 07-20-2007, 08:44 AM

Red Bull or Monster

You probably have these already?

Journal of Analytical Toxicology: McCusker RR et al. Caffeine content of energy drinks, carbonated sodas, and other beverages. Journal of Analytical Toxicology. 2006; 30.

"Adverse Cardiovascular and Central Nervous System Events Associated with Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedra Alkaloids.” The New England Journal of Medicine 343(25): 1833–38, 2000.

Also, I remember France banned Red Bull a few years ago, stuff like that might provide some interesting background.

My sister is a veterinarian and hated organic chem, I was doing a lot a research of my own and had JSTOR access so I helped her out sometimes, and in the process learned more about medical journals than I ever wanted to know...

i drank 6 cans of RedBull one day after i got hangover, i feel better after that for like one hour, and after one hour i got headache for the rest of the day, it's not kill me, but i woullnd't do it again.

yrsdrgn · 07-20-2007, 12:10 PM

Love Red Bull in the new large cans.

2nd favorite is Rooster Booster - QuikTrip gas station drink fountains. If you prefer cans - 1/2 price of Red Bull!

Also Rush Energy - Racetrac gas station drink fountains.

and 24-7 (cans) - Walgreens

Drink hearty.

Im an energy drink junkie.

brickhardmeat · 07-21-2007, 11:52 AM

new big cans only

*Chris07LB* · 07-21-2007, 07:24 PM

Monster baby...

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-21-2007, 07:45 PM

Red Bull doesn't work for me. the ones that work best for me are Rockstar, then Amp and Monster is tied for second.
