Are Energy Drinks Really Evil? Are these concerns valid? What does the research actually say? Recently I helped write a review of all the current literature on energy drink published in JISSN on January 3, 2013 International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: energy drinks Bill Campbell1†, Colin Wilborn2†, Paul La Bounty3, Lem Taylor2†, Mike T Nelson4, Mike Greenwood5†, Tim N Ziegenfuss6, Hector L Lopez6, Jay R Hoffman7, Jeffrey R Stout7, Stephen Schmitz8†, Rick Collins9†, Doug S Kalman10, Jose Antonio11† and Richard B Kreider5* It is open access, so you can read it for yourself at the link below and come to your own conclusions
Summary: The hype around energy drinks will continue for some time. They are not free from risks, but dig a bit deeper into the science and judge for yourself. My personal bias is that an occasional energy drink is fine and the current literature does not support the media hype. However, if you need 1-3 to get through your day, it is probably time to make a change.
