We’ve all been there-- needing to stay awake, but our body refusing to cooperate. We hear they are bad for us, but sometimes we reach for energy drinks like Redbull, Monster, and Rockstar to help us out. Or maybe we drink them just because we like the boost it gives us, or we simply like the taste. Whatever the reason, energy drinks are a billion dollar industry and their popularity keeps growing despite health concerns. We are warned they are particularly dangerous for children and teens-- and there’s even been reports of deaths linked to energy drink consumption.
In fact, in 2011 the American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization of 60,000 pediatricians recommended kids and teens should never drink energy drinks. In 2013, the American Medical Association got involved and called for a ban in advertising energy drinks to people under 18. And some people want to take this further and actually ban the sale of energy drinks to minors. In fact, Lithuania was the first country to enact such a ban. In response to these health concerns, the American Beverage Association, the trade group that represents many of the energy drink brands, have created their own guidelines around marketing and labeling of the drinks. For example they do not market these drinks to children under 12 and they don’t sell them in K-12 schools.
In this video we take a closer look at the science to see if energy drinks are really as bad as the hype, and what it is about them that has doctors concerned.

I think there should be WAY more attention given to the sugar in sports drinks.
I don't think that 18 is a correct age I'd say teens maybe 13 or 14. Your body's not developed until near that age and later. School aged children can find a way to obtain them anyways. The best thing to do is give it a surgeon general warning.
@@mikeblackhurst1 same
@@mikeblackhurst1 or let these kids have on to two drinks a month or so
That’s why I drink Powerade Zero. No sugar.
Sugar free Are a possibility i never choose that one
I like how bad double standards are. Ya know, two cups of coffee is fine, but a red bull, oh god no, the horror. Drinking to cups of coffee and a soda is the same as drinking a red bull.
Also if you put sugar into coffee you can easily make more sugary and more caffeinated drink than Red Bull at home even cheaper. If you put two or three teaspoons of coffee and then 3 teaspoons of sugar, here you have it. However, I haven't heard of people dying from that, but energy drinks have a lot of additives and those need to be investigated better, perhaps they are the cause of those incidents.
I can drink coffee and feel fine but when i drink a monster i get all jacked up and have anxiety
Plain Coffee is 1000% healthier than soda and energy drinks & actually has beneficial bioactive compounds. Additionally most people seem to be more attentive about the amount of coffee they drink compared to soft drinks which most people drink all day long without a second thought
There’s also the issue of the caffeine being far more concentrated in energy drinks per fluid ounce of liquid ingested when compared to coffee
Well there’s more in these drinks then just caffeine if you even bothered to look at the ingredients.
@@MJ-uk6lu it doesn't feel the same, coffees make me puke and run to the toilet, red bull doesn't
People that hate energy drinks,drink coffee all day,smoke and drink alcohol though
sadetwizelve that’s what I’m saying! I don’t do any of that besides occasional alcohol consumption. And even then it’s 1 or 2 beers. But these people have 8 coffees a day and call me unhealthy when they’re ruining their body 1000x worse than I am.
Sounds like my mum lmfao. She has like 4-5 coffees a day but freaks out if i drink one redbull zero
@@MrTripsJ my parents are the mom drinks mine when she wants a little kick
If anyone's interested, LD50 for Caffeine is between 150mg/kg and 200mg/kg for an average adult. Which to have a 50% chance of death, and adult weighing 90kg (200lbs) would have to drink between 120 and 147 Red Bulls at once. Which means you probably shouldn't be worried about overdosing on any normal beverage containing caffeine.
It's so ironic when someone tells me that energy drinks are dangerous, but they continue to drink like 5 cups of coffee in a day. (I usually have a monster or 2 every few days and nothing has happened to me, yet)
It's weird how 6 coffees at 70mgs is much more acceptable than 1 112mgs drink. But because it's called an energy drink it's gonna kill you.
Especially Coffee with all the added sugar and other ingredients. I'm addicted to energy drinks cuz I don't sleep with all the work I do, and I don't recommend people consume so much. But the hypocrisy is hilarious. Look at the sugar content in a Frappuccino and in an Energy drink. Lol

How many cans do you drink per day?
I try to limit myself to only one can a day.
I want an energy drink now
Buy one
Bit late bud
Do it I recommend you start with something with less caffeine like a small Red Bull or monster ultra serious they’re a little lower on caffeine and won’t give you more of a higher effect
monster no sugar

Context, please: "too much caffeine can kill you"? Same with water (water intoxication / poisoning makes the news every few years, usually in relation to some sort of radio contest).
The best numbers I found were from "Factors Affecting Caffeine Toxicity: A Review of the Literature". The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and the Journal of New Drugs 1967 -
150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass. *EDIT* The Pediatrics article you cited gives about double that number - 200-400 mg/kg
That is roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult - halfway to that point, water intoxication kicks in (water toxicity level is ~90mL/kg). To say it can kill you without context is unhelpful at best, Buzzfeed-esque at worst, and in this case misleading (unless you are pounding those "5-hour" energy shots, which have a much lower water content).
I am not arguing that energy drinks and high caffeine drinks needs to be studied much more. Too, the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations should be followed, and adults should consume energy drinks and coffee in moderation.
I just watched your G-L-A-D episode, and this episode and this episode seems resonate with a lot of what you warn against there.
A fair introduction to the topic of energy drinks, but a bit light on content and felt more rushed than reasoned.
Disclaimer: I consume energy drinks regularly, along with coffee, and have been trying to find good research on their effects. I had high hopes for this episode.
Thanks for the feedback journeymanwizard. GLAD you're being a savvy media consumer. We're always looking for constructive feedback and ways to improve. The recommendation is that healthy adults shouldn't have more than 400mg of caffeine a day: www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20045678?pg=1 It's hard to say how much caffeine can kill a person-- check out this article from Chemical and Engineering News for more info on that: cen.acs.org/articles/91/i5/Caffeine-Jitters.html
But water is not a drug Caffeine is a narcotic. You get addicted to it
Long story short anything can kill you in excess
even depression
Modestas Kaminskas I appreciate the explanation but I meant it as sort of a joke.
Based on the observation of myself, I would get a somewhat euphoria feeling, and it felt good and pretty happy. My mind recognized this and the thought of I should have another one to recreate this feeling could also be a thought in others and especially younger folks. The constant need for it is what the actual problem is imo
This is what happened to me. I truly think they put something g addiction in it.
@@HackerActivist yeah it’s called caffeine
I eat food sometimes and it makes me feel good and happy.
boy i hope you never try adderall
it might be cause of the caffeine, it blocks the sensors that help u feel tired and it feels like u just woke up from a juicy 12-hour nap. Like u never were tired at all and it feels great but ur body don't stop producing the stuff called adenosine which makes u tired. So like when u run outta the drink u wanna get more cause ur getting tired again and don't wanna feel it.
With all the homework and stuff I had to do for school, I would not have survived or graduated high school without energy drinks (but they should put a little less sugar in them, they're well too sweet)
Caffeine has very bad taste,you need good amount of sugar or artificial sweetener to mask it
Have you heard of sugar free energy drink there awsome monster zero ultra is good
You can water them down
@@spoonfulofserotonin5629 I am mentally ill but not THAT much
Yea exactly . I’m in high school and I agree with u
Well, they sould not be banned. It's up tp each aand everyone to take resposibility for how much they drink
On that notion... Nothing should be banned ... so why is Tobacco or Alcohol “Age Restrictive’ ... that’s should be by OWN CHOICE too. The reason is “Because Minors lack the mental capacity to JUDGE for themselves “ ... there is a reason that we have the “Parental Consent “ for pretty much Everything of potential consequences.
That's the spirit 😢😊
@@thomasbangash5808 not really the same thing though. Alcohol has a drastically higher chance of bad things happening. I say to just put an age limit on buying them(which they do) and maybe limit how many someone can buy in one shop. It's up to the person who's drinking them though to choose how many they drink, the same as how it's up the the person to know how much alcohol they want to drink. If you can't handle high amounts of caffeine, then don't drink them. Once again, the same can be said for alcohol.

God please dont fucking ban energy drinks

The more I try to form an opinion on this, the more my mind goes back to the things we don't know about this issue, that you pointed out. (How do energy drinks affect people of different ages?) So now what I think, is that there should be studies done to try to fill in this lack of information.
If energy drinks are found to be bad for a certain age group, I think it would only be mildly helpful to ban their sale to them. There are alternatives, and prohibition doesn't work, as far as I know. I think that a dedicated education campaign on the inadvisability of drinking them, would be more effective than banning them.
Doctors and news: discrminating energy drinks
Black coffee: im close to your caffeine amount...
Thanks for watching! Leave us a comment, and maybe it'll get featured in next week's video.
The More You Drink The Better You Feel!
That intill the spot start flowing around your eyes!
I would never give this to my grand-kids
It's funny how people will always have a horror story (only once did I hear one from personal experience though) to tell you about the mortal danger of energy drinks but when you ask them for the dangerous compound in them and its effects, there is never a sufficient answer. Caffeine fucks with your energy levels and so does sugar, yes, but apart from that? When I consume them too late in the day, I have trouble sleeping and I know that. But that's hardly a deadly side effect.
Why is peoples focus on energy drinks and not alcohol
Because when you drink energy drink it's tastes like soda or candy but if you drink alcohol for the first time and it's will taste like disinfect rubbing alcohol!
Energy drinks can kill you faster. Drink 4 rockstars in one sitting and tell me what happens. Try it, youll die.
Especially dangerous for teens with adhd me: interesting *sips monster* time for a hyper focus on something random
Isn't guarana essentially caffeine? As you pointed out, guarana is simply the plant and the plant itself contains caffeine. So I'm always wondering why people treat guarana like a
different thing or some chemical. Or did your research suggest that there are other ingredients in guarana that might be potentially harmful? Nice video btw!
Thanks for the comment! You're right, the concern with guarana is mainly the caffeine. It can be confusing on labels if a label lists caffeine and guarana as ingredients because it can be difficult to tell the total amount of caffeine. Some energy drinks make it more clear by listing something like "Total amount of caffeine from all sources" so that would include caffeine from guarana as well as any other sources.
The caffein found in guarana is actually even better.
Different than normal caffein, it has a longer effect and releases the caffein slower than normal one.
So you don't just get the flash of awakeness, but you actually stay awake for a bit longer, without getting tired after like 30min again

My first panic attack was when I was drinking redbull. I almost ended up calling the ambulance. Yes, energy drinks are really that bad. A 13 year old girl drank energy drinks every day then she sadly suffered a stroke and is now immobile. If this won't motivate kids to avoid this crap, then nothing will. Kids have enough energy already. I used to drink energy drinks and it messed with my anxiety hard.

@@sudhirchandra9790 well sometimes it makes me focus, and sometimes it makes me sleep :D my ADHD mind becomes usually more peaceful with caffeine, no buzz, so I can fall asleep in the middle of the day after an energy drink.
Is the problem in energy drinks really caffeine? I feel like a kid could drink like a bunch of soda and be way worse off than drinking a Red Bull. Also are there healthy forms of caffeine?
Eunice Jung Caffeine is caffeine. There aren't different forms of caffeine, just different methods of delivery. Unsweetened tea is probably the healthiest, as it is low in caffeine and had been drunk for thousands or more years without notable side effects. But coffee is fine too. Energy drinks are probably ok. It's more about how much you take than what kind.
Just around the energy drinks and Starbucks coffees that contain high amounts of sugar. Diabetes kills far more often than caffeine.
well the thing is energy drinks contain just as much sugar as soda AND all the caffeine, also alot of them contain aspartam too.
Caffein isn't even unhealthy, idk why people assume that.
Taking too much? Ye obviously, like with everything.
I've been doing 10 hour shifts at work and get around 5-7hours of sleep daily. 3 sips of monster helped alot couldn't finish the can though too much sugar.
I drink a monster once almost every two days since last week.. I mean it's all about that 2XP for Black Ops 4
To all those in the comments bragging that they're young and that they've been drinking energy drinks for years, you forget that the real heart problems come when you're older. You may feel fine now, but you might have heart/liver/kidney diseases later on.
That is if, and only if, energy drinks are used excessively
nah bro i drink 3 monster drinks a day tbh i dont even drink water anymore just tastes bad, being doing it for like 6 years now not a single health problem
no we should not ban energy drinks plz
Drink them idiot
yeetus that feetus you are right
People really out here treating energy drinks worse than cigarettes and crystal meth frfr lmfao
They're probably worse than cigarettes considering people are dying of heart attacks at 30 years old because of these things
The physical repercussions of having too much caffeine are very real, HOWEVA, this entire video discounts whether or not the extra ingredients (taurine, guarana, and bs like that) have any significant mental impact to the consumer. People against energy drinks generally say they feel strange drinking them. People I know who drink a hell of a lot of caffeine a day. I know in my own experience I appear to be a lot less mentally clear the following day after drinking an energy drink, whereas with coffee, there's just a minor headache. Time will tell whether or not avid energy drink users may suffer long term mental health issues but I'm gonna go on to a limb without anything but a hunch and say they do.
Oh interesting. Thanks for sharing your point of view. There's not a lot of research on how those additives interact with each other and caffeine-- like you pointed out most of the research and health warnings we came across centers around the dangers of caffeine in energy drinks. You might be interested in this paper from 2012 that reviews the psychological effects of energy drinks: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3280075/ We could definitely benefit from more research.

Look they arent that bad when drank in moderation...
The company's are not to blame for problems caused its the person being careless with their consumption
CONCERNS: too much caffeine, and too much sugar...
REALITY: Most energy drink brands come with sugar free options (which are always much better imo... ie white monster / sugar free redbull) AND most energy drinks have about the same caffeine as coffee, sometimes slightly less, sometimes a little more.
CONCLUSION: these are the two most commonly used arguments against energy drinks, especially when being compared to coffee for health reasons... and they are FALSE!
Most energy drinks have less caffeine per ml than coffee but is normally just a bigger serving
Diet coke is probably as bad as regular coke with sugar. Zero calorie sodas are bad, so zero calorie energy drinks are bad too.
The sweeteners they use to replace sugar are just as unhealthy if not worse
im drinking monster right now but i also have water with me so does that count???
"We all drink them anyway" Me who never had an energy drink in my life: 👁️👄👁️
No, they shouldn't ban energy drinks for minors. We don't need to give more power to the nanny police state.
Thanks for watching and weighing in! I'm curious what alternatives you think might work - or if you think there really isn't an issue with minors drinking energy drinks in the first place.
I don't think small children should be consuming energy drinks, or for that matter, coffee and tea. I don't really see a problem with kids in their late teens consuming these drinks, I'm not saying they are mentally "adult", but I wouldn't think that it would affect them all that much differently than adults. Therefore, a ban on energy drinks for minors is unacceptable.
@@foodbeergood Wait what's wrong with tea?
j4ck some teas have caffeine in them
I would happily drink energy drinks that dont have caffeine
Do u have energy drinks
I have energy drinks
I am one of those weird cases where I have a bad liver yet the doctors blame it on the amount of alcohol (which I occasionally consumed) that I consume. I've expressed many times that I drank a ton of Monsters and like three times out of the year would be Vodka and it's like "eh, no. Can't be the Monsters". haha I would have to say that energy drinks do contribute to bad liver overall. But when I did consume these, I would pound a gallon of water throughout the day to flush out the bad toxins.
If you have a bad liver I'm not suggesting you take it and I'm not a health professional but is look into dandelion root and blessed thistle. Both cured my liver
i really didn’t think caffeine had any significant affect until i was on adderall and had a bang
Yes. Two reasons: a. It amps anxiety in folks that suffer from certain mental issues, and b. Young folks are still developing, and caffeine is addictive, so more and more will be used, and scaling back the use, or discontinuing the use, will be far more difficult for them later in life than an older person that uses the product. Personal experience: I suffered from severe asthma when I was a child. This was in the 1960's and 1970's. Back then the treatment was caffeine. So as a little boy, they tried to start me on coffee. I threw that nasty stuff up every time. So I ended up on soda pop. Lots of soda pop. I don't think it helped, but the doctors never asked my opinion. I have tried to give up caffeine a few times. But I never felt normal. So, I will drink soda pop till the day I die.
Energy drinks are fine just drink them in moderation
So I have ADHD and I take these caffeine pills/notroprotrics from amazon because honestly they help me, and I have gotten off meds and think for adults, they should not be regulated. I think we have evidence that youth brain is developing, so yes, it should be restricted possibly to the age of 16-17? But then where do we draw the line, do we also restrict Starbucks which has a high level of caffeine? Btw, just discovered this channel, keep up the great work
i didnt cosume a single energy drink today i deadass feel like ive been run over by a truck
Kind of wish the video would have touched on zero sugar drinks that use sweeteners instead of sugar. That topic alone probably warrants its own video entirety though.
You will have to touch the sweetener nonsense for that. Some of them are okay, meanwhile others do have sketchy reputation. I don't think that youtubers are competent enough to really explain that well.
Might not be as bad as parents say it is but god damn it is really really addictive.
I'm glad I stayed away when I was younger.
I clicked on this video and in general read all pros and cons of drinking energy drinks but allI could found is that is a person uses way more than they supposed to will affect them, or they will get issues if they already have issues such as diabetes. So my question is, what if normal person, who drinks 1 can of monster per day (160 mg of caffeine) can affect my body? I do follow healthy diet, and diet energy drinks that usually do not contain sugar is my guilty pleasure.
No - and if you put a warning lable on it you just boost the sales. Education and common sense.
I hate energy drinks my body get shaky and my heart vibrates. Only thing I can manage is caffeine free ones with ginseng.
dam I’ve been drinking mosters since I was 12 and I’m 14 now
I think caffeine dosage should be measured relative to body weight, and not that many kids metabolize caffeine so differently as to have 4x smaller dosage.
what happens when you drink one energy drink at 14 years old?
idc im still gonna drink bang energy
I use a preworkout as my energy drink
Energy drinks are good when you don’t have your adderall. 🎉 They usually have vitamins and minerals too. FYI. A lil in your plants is good for them too. 🌱
Just because everyone does something bad doesn’t make it not a bad thing. So yes. Energy drinks are cans full of empty calories with high doses of caffeine. They’re not unhealthy, they just have an extreme lack of nutritional value.
That would be irrational to ban energy drinks
i drink 2 monsters (sometimes 3 other smaller drinks like tiger) all no sugar since about 2 years, nothing bad happened, never got any 'health problems'. i train strenght 4/5 days a week in gym and eat normal, didn't affect me at all. Only cons of drinking it, is that if you forget to drink it in next ~24h there is a headache but that's it.
that does still sound like a problem, like, a physical, body addiction to caffeine as a substance. you should probs gradually reduce it at least a bit because if your body depends on it to that level its probably a sign that its maybe too much. not that im one to talk as i still also drink five or so per week, but
dont take that too lightly (and dont go cold turkey)
@@user-py7qh8bn8s i did the cold turkey some time ago and after a while went into coffee xD yeah that's a problem still, that swap from energy to coffee was good i think, hopefuly someday i resign fully from both
Watching this while sipping my energy drink 🍷
Bruh I just drink them cause they taste good but only like 1 every week
I was drinking it daily everyday now I’ve stopped and planning to enjoy only once a week.
You know, parental control on debit cards could leave these decisions up to the parents. Regulating kids is not a federal problem.
In Denmark you are forced to put caffeine warning on the can
No energy drinks are tasty but not the healtist It may cause heart problems if you consume too much that's why moderation its the key word for everything you eat and drink
So you said they could be lethal and stated who these drinks are more dangerous for but did not expand on the HOW. Could you go into more detail about the effects on high risk individuals?
The map of Europe is kind of weird since Austria is combined with Slowenia, which is totally not the case in reality 😅🤔 however, the content is really good
I have heart problems ( arrhythmia, tachycardia) and ADHD both diagnosed officially, I have no effects from drinking these absolutely none not tiredness no energy boost nothing it doesn't affect me at all, not coffee not any type of energy drink none of these have any effect on me not positive nor negative, why is this?
i hate all those caffeine restrictions because of that i drink 100,000 mg of caffeine
im a coffee person. ive never tried an energy drink in my life. should i try one for the experience?
It should be noted that Chocolate contains Theobromine not Caffeine which is only meaningful if you are an organic chemist because medically they are mostly the same.
I can't help but feel that there must be more to it. But that might just be that "hype" that they talk about. Don't energy drinks contain a lot of chemicals? It is not just sugar and caffeine. What makes them special? What about the rest of the ingredients?
Yep, you are right. There are other additives and stimulants in energy drinks-- guarana and taurine are usually the ones that have the most hype. There's not a lot of research on how these ingredients interact with each other, which is a concern for some.
Raquel Ramirez There is no chemicals. There are also B vitimans and niacin which is pretty much a form of B12. Most energy drinks also have the same if not less sugar than a 12 ounce coke. Most Starbucks coffee drinks also have more calories, caffeine and sugar. The point of the matter is that energy drinks are no worse for you than a Starbucks drink, coke or candy bar really. All the hype was pretty much done by stuck up parents and nursing staff seeing people that consumed way to much or already had a pre existing problem. Hope this helped :)
I forgot B vitimans give the body energy, combined with sugar caffeine amino acids and carbs is what makes them effective and different from the rest. 12 years of drinking them and I have never had any reverse side affects or heart problems.
Raquel Ramirez Everything is a chemical
Above The Noise There isn't a lot of research isn't a good argument. Even when there has been enough research to determine that something is harmful, such as sodas and other sugary drinks, those things remain legal. It seems more about public perception than science.
In Sweden you are not allowed to buy energy drinks if you are under 15yo Probably because that they are addictive and easy to drink than coffee and tea..
a can once in a while can't hurt just don't go overboard since it's addicting and people would crave for more i rink a can maybe 1-2 a week
I love my energy drinks and coffee. So no way. Just don't them to your kids. I don't think kids should have caffeine anyway. they have enough energy as it is.
No, unless you drink like 3 per day
i’ve drank 2 bottles a day for years im still alive i’m starting to stop i’m very happy
*ITS NOT ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE ITS ABOUT THE AMOUNT*
being stationed over seas made me realize what our food, cities and lack of healthcare is in this unregulated capitalist dystopia.
The 100 mg limit for teens is wrong as healthy teen you can drink up to 600mg I even tested that when I was 13 600mg did nothing to me
No more regulations. The information is right there on most labels. And there is SOOOOO much hype regarding the issue that only a kid that can't read or hear the spoken word will have the excuse of "I DIDN'T KNOW!" Let parents regulate their kids as should be done, and let we who are adults regulate our selves. NO MORE REGULATIONS... and I never drink the friggin' stuff because I am a COFFEE / TEA addict... LOL! Yes, I LOVE my KURIG and GAGGIA products. Maybe I should get some of their stock? Hmmm.
If you don’t drink it Every day, there is no problem
Do You Think if I drink water is better?
Drinking lots of water is always a good idea.
Above The Noise so taurine is good?
There is not much research or solid evidence out there yet about the health effects of taurine. www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/taurine/faq-20058177
Above The Noise ty about Informations i love drinking monster I'm 12 years old 😂

Wait, hol up a little...

27s - a graph with an unlabelled Y axis? Shame on you! ;-)
Ah very observant! Good catch. The Y axis in this case would be sales in dollars with the top line being $10 billion, but it's definitely not an exact graph-- just meant to give you a visual idea. Thanks for keeping us on our toes! We also welcome ways to improve our vids.
Energy drinks is for everyone
imagine drinking something besides water... couldn't be me
Am a doctor, I drink one can a day, I believe no need to regulate it, caffeine is all over the place, maybe more education to the public is needed and more transparency on the side of manufacturers, but it is not a serious public health issue
I've never had an energy drink. I'm 48 and we had Jolt back in the 80's.
