The Need To Ban Energy Drinks In America

We’re obsessed with energy drinks. America is overly obsessed with them. If you consume two energy drinks per day, your ingesting about the same amount of caffeine found in 12 cans of soda. That much caffeine could make you jittery and anxious and contribute to stress. It’s bad enough that we stress about so many things in everyday life like terrorist attacks, being late to work, etc. We should ban energy drinks from America. Energy drinks have been proved to change your mood. If you consume energy drinks regularly you might want to change your beverage choices. Studies have shown that people who frequently drink large amounts of caffeine have been known to act different than they normally would. This is because of the serotonin is known as the “feel good” neurotransmitter and if you drink a lot of energy drinks it’ll lower the amount of serotonin in your system. So drinking energy drinks will change your mood.

Energy drinks are filled with too much sugar. Some energy drinks can contain 13 teaspoons of sugar a can. Instead of getting an energy boost you want that much sugar can make you have a sugar crash and feel more tired than you did before. That much sugar can do bad stuff to your body. It can leave you dehydrated, cause teeth decay, make you gain weight, and drinking that much sugar can cause type 2 diabetes which lead to even worst health problems.

Energy drinks signal your brain, liver, digestive system, kidneys, and heart to behave as if your in a bad situation. Which is why we get that sugar crash after drinking them. All that sugar signal your organs to react as if there in a dangerous situation and your body isn’t designed to take that much stress on a regular basis. Eventually your body after taking enough sugar will say enough and stop working which is why energy drinks have been linked with strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure. So if you like your organs I would decide to stop drinking energy drinks.

Energy drinks have been proved to kill you if you drink too much. Adverse event reports have been submitted to the FDA linking red bull and Rockstar to hospital visits while 5-hour energy and monster have been linked to 5-15 deaths. Instead of relying on sugar try drinking water, work out get exercise, get a hobby. Energy drinks have way too much sugar for a human body to be taking in. You should not be taking in as much sugar that an energy drink gives you because it damages your body in ways that you don’t want it to be affected in. If you care for your body say NO to energy drinks.
