Energy Drinks - Which is your favorite?
« on: September 03, 2024, 06:31:07 AM »
The scourge of the Earth.   :D

Ok, best tasting one hands down is Ghost.    That said, https://sneakenergy.com/ is one I came across on the 'net and ordered the sample pack.  Shaker and 10 different flavors for $10.  And the flavors are not all that bad.  I do however stir it in with seltzer water so it tastes more in line with the canned beverage brands. 

Some people may be disappointed because it only has 150mg of caffeine in it since most other brands have 200mg.  (And a couple have 300mg+)

If you are like me and sensitive to stims, try these.  Though I don't use them often and only use half a can when I do, it is an adequate pre workout choice if you hate the way beta-alanine in pre workout make you itch.

Better avoid all energy drinks. Massive spike in certain cancers the past years, even among young people. Combining soda or the even worse energy drinks with a diet low in fiber and you increase the cancer risk even more.

Artificial sweeteners can have very serious side effects too:

Soda is bad, but energy drinks are even worse. They combine and compound all negative ingredients and effects.

what is it that makes energy drinks so bad exactly? There are sugar free options. I know aspartame is bad but most do not have that. So is it the sucralose?

Reign is my favorite.

The best energy drink is salt water. Do this first thin in the morning and you will not believe how you will feel. No need for caffeine or bullshit energy drinks that are just making others rich.
Start your day with salt in water and you can Thank me later

Sugar and caffeine are fine.

I'm lol @ the "our food is poisonous!" conservatrend. As if all the elephants are gonna turn macrobiotic. Or they never made the connection between diet and obesity until they heard it on Tucker, and it turns out they're blameless victims of a grand conspiracy.

I’m starting to become more concerned with plastic lining inside these cans and the microplastics. Had a can of Ghost Swedish Fish today though  :D

Does it come from the sea, or you just mix regular salt in regular water?

I heard that for truly optimal results, it has to come fresh from the sea, before the sun rises. Remember to thank him.

ALL GARBAGE. Never consumed one never will. Haven’t consumed caffeine in well over a decade.

Nothing. People love to say that energy drinks are horrible for you. "OMG, do know what they put in that stuff"?

LOL. Nothing that they don't put in juice, or green tea, or soda, or coffee, diet or otherwise.

Most of it is B vitamins, caffeine,  sometimes l-carnitine, or choline, or l-tyrosine or l-theanine, sometimes magnesium,  guarana or taurine. All safe.

The ingredients that everyone thinks are harmful is mostly preservatives, food coloring and sweetners. But, again, its the same coloring, sweetners and preservatives that have been in use for at least 2 decades or longer.

They ARE horrible for you.  It’s a giant can of sugar water.

They have zero sugar versions as well. The samples I got were all zero sugar.

MONSTER.

Only had when I went to clubs back in the day. After I stopped drinking alcohol, I'd have a glass of this instead from the bar when going out..

One can was enough to keep me wired for the whole night and early morning.

Brecka’s the best. A “Human biologist” oh brother!  ::)

Totally downplays TRT but hypes up everything else. Drink your hydrogen water and take your ice bathes kids!

Yeah. Exactly the kind of 'conventional wisdom' id expect from you.

I just laid it out and your response is 'sugar water'

I don't remember the last time I had an energy drink that had sugar in it.

I stay on a low/no carb diet almost year round. I know what I put in my body and Id never drink anything that has sugar in it.

If you actually researched it, you'd see that there's nothing in energy drinks that hasn't already been in every other kind of drink.... for years.

Sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose in the intestines. Fructose attacks the liver. You are a fucking leftist tard.

I went from more than a pot of coffee a day to one small black coffee a day the same day I started the salt water. I experienced zero energy lag nor headaches from withdrawel

So...they have artificial sweeteners even worse than sugar.
