Should energy drinks like Red Bull be banned?

[Westsidex]

This is was wikipedia says.

Red Bull contains taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, B vitamins, sucrose and glucose.
so does can of red bull

Not sure about the glucuronolactone but the others wouldnt cause what red bull does unless there is some synergistic magic that happens. The ammounts must be very very high too.

If you go to a resturant in the morning, do you know exactly whats in the meal you get . Life is a lottery and for me its fun lol

I remember I took few times taurine as a sport supplement, it doesnt give as much kick as synthetic caffein in that kind of drinks.

Taurine as a sport supplement is a waste of money. Better off eating a banana or something.

Ps the ammount needed becomes to awkward and pricey frim what i have being told anyway.

True but my point is we know whats in fags, pain killers and drink. We do not know whats in these energy drinks and i dont think we are being told either.

Westie, they're not mixing this stuff in the bath tub and selling it at the country fair you know..........

I'm sure a company that's turning over somewhere in the region of 3.5 billion euro may be regulated..............

I have no idea who makes red bull or whether they are a company in their own right or not.

has anybody tried the similar versions like the tesco brand called KX, it used to be KICK but changed its name a few months ago, it looks the same colour can as a red bull, its about 80c for a can, it tastes horrible and i don't think it has the same effect as red bull. There are a few of them about, one called Enery or Energise or something similar, in a red and silver can, about 50c or 60c in tesco/dunnes, tastes ok, there's some u can get, like the Spar brand and the Bluebear or other similar brands, i don't think and have taken them and i dont think that they work as good as Red Bull.

Has anyone tried the Red Bull Shots? I tried them twice....they don't fucking work!!! €2.60 for a tiny shot and nothing happens!! Haven't tried the Lucozade shots or the similar shots yet.

I have being told by a very realiable source from the US that he was on a visit to a very well known top supplement company , a regulated one and one of the ppl on the research team told him quietly "i wouldnt give my dog that stuff with all the shit thats in it." Those were his exact words to him. This company makes billions per year selling protein supps etc.
