Interesting, so Red Bull is actually healthy?

Was actually needing some caffeine to up me toda. I debated having a sugar free Red Bull but even the sugar free ones are not great for you due to the sucralose

I know I won't change anyone's already set opinions here, but for anyone reading this and not sure what is being discussed: there's absolutely nothing wrong with consuming sucralose.

I personally find what poses a risk to my health (actually my waist line) is if I have one sugar free drink (sweetened) I just crave more.

I don't know if the sugar mitigates some effect, or it's purely driven by psychology and me unconsciously feeling unrestricted in consuming sugar free drinks. But I see a clear effect in me.

I even tried coke life when it existed to see if I managed it better but it was too short lived to know.

Taurine? I've been jacking myself full of that since Middle School! Thanks RedBull!

Jokes aside, This feels like one of "Wine is Good for you" In moderation and other fine point details. Not buying it.

Or think of mass-market cat food as a dietary supplement

The Monster zero Ultra drinks I like (no sugar) list energy ingredients as taurine, L-Carntine, caffeine, inositol. I'm bipolar and they make me somewhat manic, which I like because I get creative, but I keep thinking I shouldn't drink them because everyone tells me they are unhealthy. Maybe not?
