What are you pouring into your body? Do you really know?
Taurine--a very common energy drink ingredient. Very exotic sounding, isn't it? But what is it? Almost all of the big name energy drinks--Red Bull, AMP Energy, Sobe Adrenaline Rush, etc.--contain taurine, claiming that is can spike your performance, and hone your concentrations, for hours.
The truth, however, is not quite there. So what is taurine? Taurine is an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter. Research from Weill Cornell Medical suggests that it might actually work more like a sedative than a stimulant. So instead of giving you wings, it may actually "clip" them.
Oh, but there is more. Check out this article form Men's Health Magazine where they attempted to separate the science form the marketing. Where they analyzed the claims and the ingredients of some of the most popular energy drinks on the market. Where they tried to answer the question: Are energy drinks safe?
And the question: Do energy drinks contribute to body fat gain? Or can you lose weight by watching what you drink?
