Red Bull... maybe not so red bull

[ATLskier]

study shows red bull shows similar symptoms to cardivascular heath problems. Worth a read, I'd say.

Dont think it's anything that bad or anything to worry about, just had to share it.

every energy drink does that to ya im pretty sure

so soo obvious, how does a college student drink eight cans a night without realizing it's going to have some sort of negative effect on their bodies? a college student! aren't they supposed to be more educated than this? and upon hearing it's harmful to have so much they're giving it up completely.. these people are idiots..

seriously, have some now and then. not every day, maybe not every few days, but when you feel like it. it shouldnt be such a shock that a large amount can harm you. enjoy in moderation, as with anything.

 

[reverendwrong]

but ater the shit leaves ur system then ur fine, no sympthoms. Would it be bad for u in the long run? prbly but no worse than coffee or alcohol. Thats the part they left out.

 

[eheath]

Yeah, energy drinks aren't good for you, thats for sure. Thats why i drink coffee in the morning.

 

[laurence^]

They make your heart beat faster...i cant take it i start to feel like i have irregular heart beats, coffee too but redbull is like 8x coffee

 

[k-rob]

well duh it causes problems, people have died from drinking too much redbull before.

 

[flip29]

agreed... over indulgence is obviosly not good... but a can a week in my opinion is no worse then a coffee every morning

 

[photowill]

i think if you drank a pitcher of redbull and vodka your just asking for something bad to happen

 

[MC_POUTINE]

looks like t-hall has some serious thinking to do

 

[ATLskier]

the study involved one can, not six, that was just some student talking about it.

Tea is the way to go. nothing better than english breakfast tea.

 

[iluvBread]

wouldn't that be a fuckin disaster...t-hall dies from red bull...just think of all the shit that'll create

"A study of 30 university students aged between 20 and 24 years old found that drinking just one 250ml sugar-free can of the caffeinated energy drink increased the “stickiness” of the blood and raised the risk of blood clots forming."

on two separate occasions i have lost a lot of blood with lots of redbull in my system, and lots of alcohol.... but my point is that i had not blood clottage, it would have helped.

It has nout to do with the caffine (though caffine is bad for you) its the vitamin b12 which ups ur red blood count therefore makeing your absorbtion of oxgen higher and makeing your blood clot more easily. Me and my m8 drank 2 cans of monster and from that we got 25x the reccomended daily allowance of vitamin b12 not good for a bloke who was told by the doctor he has think blood already.... this is all stuff i got off the internet. so no hateing on me hate on wikipedia.
