Are you a fan of energy drinks?

Heard of any potential health problems stemming from them?

I haven't heard of any serious health problems caused by them, but I do try to stay away from them.

- I don't like the taste
- They are packed with sugar (I've been trying to eat healthier)
- I don't get the impression that they test the ingredients very well - to verify their claims or to make sure they're safe
- I've never had a problem with plain old caffeine. Give me a cup of coffee with a dash of cream and I'm good

Nah...I never drank them. I don't do coffee either (I do drink hot chocolate, but just for the taste and the heat).

I did hear that energy drinks are loaded with sugar...and decay the teeth.


***lately I drink green powder drinks (wheatgrass, and other green food drinks....havent' seen any results, but i drink them).

For energy, I noticed taking iron does it for me.

You just made me realize - I don't drink coffee for energy. I think of caffeine as useful for a quick jumpstart, but to have and maintain energy, I make sure I eat enough, eat breakfast, and try to get my B vitamins and iron. I don't think anything can substitue for those things. Drinking coffee or an energy drink without those things is like winding up for a pitch and then just dropping the ball.
