Are Energy Drinks Bad For You?
Should I stop drinking Celsius?
Energy drinks have risen in popularity — especially the ones that are labeled “healthier” than others, like Celsius. We continue drinking them, even if we’re not sure if they’re bad for us. It begs the question, what’s so special about energy drinks anyway?
The CDC defines an energy drink as “A beverage that typically contains large amounts of caffeine, added sugars, other additives, and legal stimulants such as guarana, taurine, and L-carnitine.”
This combination makes you feel like you can conquer the world — for about 6 hours. Then you either crash or feel like you need another one.
