SORRY I DONT EVEN USE ANY OF THE ENERGY DRINKS AT ALL. JUST NO NEED FOR THEM. PLUS HAVE SEEN THE DISADVANTAGES--LIKE THE RUSH THEN THE CRASH--IN MY FRIENDS SO I DONT RECOMMEND. MUCH BETTER TO JUST GET THE SLEEP TO RECHARGE INSTEAD OF RELYING ON ALL THE BUNK OF THESE DRINKS.

Do you read the article that pregnant women double there changes of a miscarriage if they take more than 200mg of caffieine per day. Than it equal to two regular coffees or one Starbuck. Better no caffeine. Why take such a chance.

Did anyone read the article? It does have its betnefits " There's now evidence that it defends against diabetes, Parkinson's, asthma symptoms, post-workout soreness, and even hunger pangs. Cool."

They may say it has benefits but, I am not sure I am buying this as of yet...the research could all change as early as tomorrow. And for the woman who wanted to know where black tea fits in...here is a site to take a look at :) www.energyfiend.com/huge-caffeine-database/

OMG...my kid's dad gives them Rock Star drinks on days he takes them to school, I told him to stop cuz that stuff DEFINATELY is not for kids! That explains the bad reports coming home from school on those days.
All of these drinks have a crash after the buzz type effect. I take an energy drink tablet that will NOT give you a crash at all and it has less sugar, no calories and has only 75mg of caffeine. This effervescent energy drink can only be purchased through distributors like myself. If anyone is interested and want more information about this drink just leave me an email!

OMG! No Child should be drinking the type of caffeine filled drinks that are being discussed here! And given the incidence of road rage these days it seems that a lot of adults should also be avoiding it also!

Can we ever NOT use trendy overpriced STARBUCKS in a survey!
How about a real cup of coffeee for the middle class people like DUNKIN DONUTS! We r all not Paris Hilton's or the Dreaded Brtiney Spears! Common People!
And this is why I only have 1 or 2 cups of coffee in the morning and I drink WATER yep just plain old water (if I have a lemon handy I do add lemon for a change )for the rest of the day and its FREE!

Again, moderation....A little goes a long way. All the body really needs is a slight boost. Unless you have conditioned your metabolism for high doses, then your body wants the high doses.
I have also read that it is not good to give your body a "jolt" of caffeine when you first wake up.

Wow. Everything in moderation. Caffeine isn't evil. Sugar isn't evil. But it is trendy to hate these things especially since it makes it easier to make giant leaps in logic.

Has anyone taken notice to the huge marketing and advertising campaigns these energy drinks are executing. Its like a new drug on the street or something. Any product that should be limited to "one per day", due to health reason's should be strictly regulated by the Govmt. Period. "It's like people are chasing the caffein high like they would cocain. "2005 study... (between 2000 and 2004 cocain use among adults over age 21 dropped significantly. BUT... amount of money Americans spend on caffein products rose by more than double what the coke use decresed. James - Philadelphia

Would be nice it you are going to write and article like that you do the math and break it down per once and not per serving or can. So that you are lookin at all the data the same way otherwise you push the work onto me and I have to take your arlicle and breack it down before it even is worth anything to me.

I have known since my early 20's that I couldn't handle caffeine,( even a little causes heart palputations and anxiety) . Does anyone know if "de-caf" coffee or "de-caf" tea really is decaffienated ? I've heard even tho they say "de-caf" they still have some in it. And if its true....how do they get the caffeine out...or is it added to the drinks, ( like coffee or tea)...and lastly, is greeen tea decaffeinated ?Thanks in advance to anyone who can help answer these questions!! :)
