Fat With Energy
If you’re having trouble fitting into those hip-huggers, ladies, you might want to lay off the Jaeger bombs and vodka/Red Bulls for a while (one of many reasons you should). This Gannett News Service story – which also ran in yesterday’s Sun-Times – states that the Food and Drug Administration has no guidelines to define an energy drink. Nutritionists interviewed for the article state that the energy these drinks give consumers comes mainly from carbohydrates and caffeine. And we all know what happens to carbs when we don’t work out, don’t we?
So, if you’re drinking these beverages because of the taurine, ginseng, guarana, and ginkgo, you’re essentially being fed a bunch of guano. A Coca-Cola spokesman (Coca-Cola produces Full Throttle, the sugar-free Tab Energy, and distributes Rockstar Energy Drink) was even quoted in the article saying that they don’t claim the exotic ingredients are sources of energy, but that consumers want to see them on the label. Yay, marketing!!
