        Yeh I was trying to strike a balance between "Red Bull probably isn't going to kill you" and "energy drinks are completely harmless". Might add a paragraph in there, but it's already 25% longer than most of my blogs so I don't really want to

        Not bad! Well done @GidMK! I have been writing about the science behind energy drinks and their ingredients since 2007 at http://GreenEyedGuide.com  I think you would find so many articles there right up your alley.

        No caffeine? Blasphemous. But other than that I agree with all of the above. Though I take in extra caffeine on non-gym days.

        Did you know that for people 13-17 the biggest contribution of caffeine is soda (77%) then tea (52%) then coffee (26%) then energy drink (10%). The total caffeine consumed per day is 66mg, which is under the 100mg/day limit for ppl under 18 (American Academy of Pediatrics)

        OH MAN I could rant all day about energy shots, I don't like them for anyone bc it's too much caffeine at once. All caffeine should be sipped slowly, like it's not coffee.
