    "The “Blend” for energy is 5000mg which is the same as in a 16 oz Monster. The ingredients differ a little though with 2000 mg of Taurine, 400 mg Ginseng, and 200% of your dv for B2, B3, B6, B12. The “energy blend” of Glucose, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Inositol, Guarana, Glucuronolactone, maltodextrin. Then Monster kicks it up with Bee pollen and Royal Jelly."

    Even though it might have some B vitamins it's still loaded with caffeine and taurine not to mention all the other junk.

    Any body know of any others? Maybe ones that are smaller than 16 oz would be more likely to have a healthy aspect?

    I'm just trying to see if there is something I've missed or that people think isn't completely horrible for them.

    That's kinda the point ;)
    Moderation seems to be an aspect you are overlooking.

    The energy drinks are on the market, they will not go away.. Alcohol is there to.. This company just took the work out of playing bartender, by mixing them together, something anyone over the age of 3 can do..

    But we do appreciate your concerns, high degree of danger with these drinks and combinations.

    Yep.

    I won't stop drinking them because of some website. It's not like I don't know what is in them, or whatever health risks might be associated with them.

    I don't think supplements are a bad way to go about getting energy but a lot of the drinks which are jam packed with awful ingredients are marketed to kids...

    What I was trying to ask is if anyone knew of ANY energy drinks or energy shots on the market that had some kind of healthy or natural leaning? I'm trying to find the lesser of the evils but it doesn't seem like there are any...

    ok so why do you care so much about energy drinks honestly like what the hell. I dont know if you have ever drank a four loco but holy f! they are awsome and amazing. they make you go loco. I have driven 5 hours to a different state to get those damn things. in fact i am going to florida in may and am very much looking forward to legally buying some four loco ( despite the new formula they are forced to use)
    still they should not be banned. banning anything is just supporting more government control. if anything there should be a warning on them explaining what they do thats like saying they should ban cigarettes because their bad for you and can kill you. the only thing that needs to be done with any consumer product is the consumer must be informed. after that let the user decide what they wanna do, and if they die at least they knew it was a risk they were taking

    I'm not worried, I've seen serious caffeine abuse and it's not an epidemic. It's highly concentrated to anime conventions

    Thanks for making me waste my time watching that stupid fucking video. I personally don't drink either of the 2, but I think people should have a choice. It's our own fucking bodies and we will do as we wish with them!!!!!!!!

    are you going to try and ban coffee next I mean all of that caffeine must be dangerous you know, and a 5 year old can just walk into the store and buy 5 of them guzzle them all down and good god they may be bouncing off the walls for a few hours and after that they may fall asleep for a bit.
    honestly now your trying to ban energy drinks. this all most likely came about because some stupid kid drank 15 of them in a row, and probably already had a undiagnosed heart condition. next thing you know hes on the ground having a heart attack because his body might as well of had some meth. obviously there bad for you its not like anyone doesnt know that
    as DUCK said moderation is all that is needed why not worry more about teaching parents how to be parents and pay attention to what their kids are doing rather then let the government add another law to the already ridiculously long list of laws we have in place

    And after energy drinks, ban coffee? Logically, that seems like the next step you would take.
