They are bad for you because they have 2 much caffeine.They are good at first because you feel energy,but soon you will feel worst than before. Also caffeine can put more fat on you.

They are made to sell. They have sugar and chemicals to taste good and things to stimulate you like caffeine. If cocaine were legal they would put that in it.

The whole secret to healthy diet is to eat what nature makes (fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, fungus [mushrooms] and coconut milk) and avoid man-made things like donuts and chemical cockails.

You can drink decaf green tea, acai juice, pomegranite juice and other healthy drinks like greens drinks.

they’re fine… in moderation. too much caffeine is bad for you, whether it’s just pop or an energy drink. obviously energy drinks have a lot more caffeine in them than a regular soda though. but as long as you don’t drink them ALL the time you should be alright. only drink them when you really need that extra boost. too many could be bad for your heart.

not to mention the more often you drink them, the less effective they will be. your body will start to get used to the caffeine and you’ll need more and more for it to help you. caffeine is technically a drug. it’s like when someone starts taking a drug and at first they only need a little bit to get their high. then after a while that isn’t enough and they have to take more, and it just keeps getting more and more.

basically they’re helpful when you need that extra little boost *occasionally*, but don’t do it all the time.

Just be moderate in what you take. Why not take gatorade? It’s a lot safer.

they’re not good for you in large doses – treat with moderation. A couple a day wont do any harm – but dont have long-term – caffeine is the most ‘dangerous’ ingredient in these = detrimental effects on your heart etc. if taken long-term.
