Smartest thing I've heard out the whole video.

[DVDvideoproductions]

i just drank a 500ml rockstar in less than 5 mins

[rozzer1142]

Wtf is this pussy talking about.

You could get killed tomorrow. Drink a fucking drink.

[bananassassin1]

I hate it how people keep saying energy drinks have alot of sugar in it for example in a 16 oz can of monster rehab it only has 6g of sugar which is alot less than a regular soda and I actually had 16 energy drinks split between me and a friend in 12hrs im still fine

[Darikcrissangelfan]

can i just drink monster or amp once a week without harming me i'm 14

[amrfts]

@Darikcrissangelfan dont be a pussy drink it as much as you want

[alerdssSypher03]

[thezombiedude15]

Im drinking EMERGE right now and you know what i will drink twenty more if i want and you cant stop me!

[poppe191]

I'm drinking a X-Ray right now. :D

[cherrynutz]

I had extremely high blood pressure at my doctors office when I used to drink monster blue low-carb energy drinks. I have stopped drinking them all together and my blood pressure is a lot better, I am also on bystolic now for blood pressure but all is good now. I am 28 years old and don't recommend drinking that junk (at least monster brand or similar) based on my personal experience, I don't want others to feel like I did.

[AntoVidz8]

Nice vid man

[A7XSynysterJenno]

I no longer drink then as when i do my heart rate goes to 190 Bpm and i have really bad anxiety attacks to the point where i have to go to the hospital, there are just no need for them, Have Some orange juice it tastes good and its good for you and your sperm tastes great! <that's what she said.

[chrizbie]

my cousin can drink 2 - 4, 500ml cans a day (so 1 - 2 litres), he's basically addicted to them, I can't even stand the smell they're f*cking disgusting, besides the caffeine and everything else, that amount of sugar on a daily basis is lethal, I've tried everything I can to get it through to him that these are actually having a reverse affect and nobody needs this much sugar but he just doesn't get it, sugar = energy and that's all there is to it for him

[JizzMasterPino]

Whatever you do too much is bad.

[Casnigou]

I should never have began to drink those things.....EVER!!!! I began by one a day 5 years ago.

I was to the point that it did not work for me anymore. I was drinking 6 a day four months ago And finaly, my body could not support it anymore: Chest burning on the left side, some kind of anxiety to the point I was unable to drive without stopping on the side abruptly thinking I was gonna die from an attack. It's been 4 months since my last energy drink as been taken, and I still feel the pain...

[MsPraaaaa]

the cocain is more potent than this shit...

[torontobills]

hell yea, i am feeling stronger everyday

[RamboSuper13]

The safest energy drink there is Spark from Advocare. Surgar-free 21 vitimins and minerals. Like 5 flavors mix it with water taste real better than koo laid taste. This guy never heard of Advocare as a company and never had a spark. Missing Out People!

[Chrissco12345]

You scared me now......I loved energy drinks,not drinking anymore!dose Lucozade count as one?

[JuliaKrystinaCongedi]

i've gotten to the point where th dinks just dont affect me in an energyish way :/ but they're so damn yummy

[junkyturd]

Just drink some dam water kids!!!

[GratefulDeadCCR]

not to mention he says (drinking 1 a day is safe) i sometines drink 2 a day but i dont know what kind of crazy caffeine phene is gonna want more than 1-2 a day

[GratefulDeadCCR]

honestly if you drink the sugar free ones i do not think they are bad for you at all. i think its healthier if you drink a sugar free redbull then if you drink a regular soda

[carliocoolio]

@GratefulDeadCCR Actually, the sugar-free ones are worse for you than regular Redbull. They contain aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener to replace the sugar. Research has linked the sweetener to diabetes, cancer, birth defects, psychological disorders, vision problems, seizures and brain damage!

[carliocoolio]

@GratefulDeadCCR In reality, no energy drinks are good for you. They contain high levels of taurine, guarana, caffeine and other stimulants. A can of coke which is bigger than a can of Redbull, contains only 34 mg of caffeine (versus the 80mg of caffeine plus 1000 mg of taurine and 600mg of glucuronolactone in Redbull!)

[carliocoolio]

@GratefulDeadCCR But if you really want to drink them, do yourself a favor and drink the ones with sugar and not aspartame! High-consumption of sugar, although linked to diabetes, will not increase your chances of developing a psychological disorder, having a seizure or brain damage!

[carliocoolio]

@GratefulDeadCCR Watch the video "Aspartame: The Dangers and Side Effects" on Youtube

[bobowski2010]

what would happen if i drank 4 monsters in one day or in 2-3 hours?

[jubyvera662]

i know a lot of ppl that drink energy drink and i see the effects, like nervous systems.. and stuff. like cardiac arrest .. , etc . nice. ... and de teeth cause of de accid.. thing.. it has ..

[AlexNOSAM]

Stupidity and hypocrisy coming together against the energy drinks... How sad. Of course no one ever cares to go against alcohol or smoking this far - it's only the energy drinks that are bad for you.

[GamingDreamGuy]

huh>? just freaking say safe or not ?

[starblind1231]

I drank an entire four pack of monster on new years eve last year, even though everyone told me not to. I learned my leson though, I threw up the next day.. never again will I do that .... xD

[TheRedtaz]

forget energy drinks, you want energy try d ribose with a b complex. you might actually get too much energy from d ribose, you might have to take a half a dose.

[MystHD]

G Whiz your smart.

[fingerandskateboard]

um i dont drink that much but i usually have maybe a 16oz redbull every other day nd rarely maybe 38oz's or 40oz's in an after noon right after each other but i skateboard when i do. i sometimes get really bad pains under my ribs when i breathe in deep nd i have to do maybe like 10 small breaths then try again till it doesnt hurt. i am also hyper-glycimic or hypo idk the one where my blood suger is high then spikes low so just wanted to say that

[IronWolfUpdate]

500ml everyday or 250ml?

[MrGr8est21]

XS energy drinks are the only energy drinks safe for you. Nothing else beats it.

[TheRsfreak999]

I am a 13 year old child drinking that sh!T for 2 years now it taste good but in what price i didnt really understand for now i am very small does this affect how i grow please reply ! :(

[dunlea2k8]

yeah they suck for working out, too much sugar!, just pop a caffiene pill or black coffee a sip on water and gatorade, alot cheaper and better calorie wise

[00GCGaming]

1 a day(250 ml with 80 mg caffeine per can), I drink them too stay focused in school, that's pretty much it.

[ElmortoSen]

wait, i drink about 5 energy's a day, is that bad?

[fr3dde97]

@ElmortoSen how old r u?

[ElmortoSen]

@fr3dde97 15

[infiler]

hi there dokter...is it good drinking an energy drink(red bull) before a soccer game to get more energy and hyper ?

[like2k11]

um.. am i the only one who dosent understand any of this..?! :0

[YouthHealth]

@like2k11 Hi sorry about that, basically what I'm saying is that energy drinks are not good for you and should be avoided. The American Academy of Pediatrics advise all of us to avoid it because it can cause heart problems in certain people. It just has way too much caffeine and other ingredients that are very well studied.

[YouthHealth]

@YouthHealth I'm sorry *not very well studied.

[robsterbot2006]

I HAVE 20 A DAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dytrpa]

trapna pičovina !

[AqqleHD]

I have about 2-4 a week and have been doing so for a year, i have no bad effects EVER! i am perfecly healthy, people just hate energy drinks cause they have a lot more caffiene, people say just drink coffee but coffee fucks up your teeth & tastes like shit

[zabeliiulet]

@AqqleHD yeah man 4 ever energy drinks !!

[isswans]

good its SAFE

[Kapasitee]

I was drinking 4-5 a day and I recently cut down to 1-2. If I don't drink any I feel lost, confused, tired (of course), and angry for some reason. I don't think I can go to work or even function without at least one can of Monster in me.

[jjnoahjames]

And drinking one before the gym. Is smarter than not. At least your body will use up the sugar, and vitamins rather than turn it to fat.

[jjnoahjames]

1.) Contrary to the video energy drinks DO have Electrolytes (potassium and sodium) especially the new versions of Rockstar. Maybe Redbull doesn't. Rebull is just caffiene and not much else.

2. It's probably best to drink half in the moring (just like coffee), I usually sip on mine through out the day and I don't crash or feel bad at all.

3.) I would not drink sugar free if you don't have too. #1 thing I'm concerned about is artificial sugar! I heard it dehydrates you!

[Willis53y]

what about coca cola i have atleast 2lt a day is that bad ?

[MrNothing43]

Damn....i need to stop.... i drink two a day now..... my stomach hurts, and it hurts when i go to the bathroom......but only when i drink them when im at work..... and my side hurts.....under my ribs...when i breahte in..... but i can't help it...... i don't feel the same at work if i don't drink one.....should i switch to tea? tea sux....and i hate coffee...... water i guess would be the best choice.....

[YouthHealth]

@MrNothing43 Yeah if you are drinking that much, the best way is to wean off of it slowly. So drink less and less each day and eventually you can get off it. Good luck!

[zabeliiulet]

@YouthHealth i drink energy drink only 1 time in a week is that bad ?

[crashnick12]

@YouthHealth i drink only 1 time in a week,is that bad ?

[koer56]

@MrNothing43 ice tea! =)

[tylerboy1333]

@MrNothing43 stop...using...three...periods­... there's...a...thing..called..a­..spacebar...yeah.........

[MrNothing43]

@tylerboy1333  how....bout......no

[tylerboy1333]

@MrNothing43 how..bout..suck..my..dick?

[Casnigou]

I would advise you to stop drinking them..... I know what you feel about not beign the same without it, but I stopped using them. My left side of the chest still hurt after 4 months without drinking any... I also still feel electric charge running in fingers. Can you beleive it!? After 4 months!!!!! I also reduced cofee to 1 or 2 a day only and after that only thea...... This pain is so strange that I am scared of it even when I dont feel it, wich seems to trigger it even more O.o!!!!!

[CaliforniaXlivin]

lol so its not good that on average i have 48 fl/oz of rockstar at work every day ?

[nm1underoathfan]

And remember suck my dick

[Tomgledhill1984]

geek

[iComputer123]

I usually go for 1 or 2 a week at the max. I like the taste but I don't want to over do it.

[WineK0ne]

I buy an energy drink everyday because I don't really give a shit about my health, I am skinny, hyperactive, and I just like the taste. 1 a day..:P

[07r21]

@WineK0ne i have about 7 a day haha, i dont care :P

[guevarra415]

u think your all that in a bag of chips huh??

[gr3yca]

in the summer i would buy 2 a day for about 2 months Nothing has happen to me Yet LOL

[kappkids]

@gr3yca people smoke for more then 2 months and they are just fine... but many die of very bad things like cancer from smoking... just because you are ok for a short time does not mean it is not fucking up your body.

[gr3yca]

@kappkids its been 3 years and Yes my heart hurts sometimes but i get over it

[MonsterEnergyFans]

Very informative.

keeping people safe is key.

[ValeriePuma]

I've been drinking energy drinks for years, yep (Gasp!) years. Rockstars,Monsters,Sparks,etc.­.. you name it.

Now, I did drink these in moderation. One a day. But the last few months I've been feeling awful, always tired, sluggish, slight headaches. And boom, soon as I drink an Energy Drink I'm back to feeling normal.

About two months ago I finally accepted I was sick and tired of being.... well sick and tired. I gave them up, fully. (Sodas Included) And I feel great!!!!

[RATNESH42]

[spencerdev91]

Recent research shows caffeines diuretic properties are mild and do not cause dehydration as widely believed.

[Rockyeeful]

DUDE CAN YOU GET TO THE F"**** POINT?!

[audieros3]

I want a energy drink now O.O

[KangarooNoah]

why would you even want an energy drink? water by far better alternative, and if you argue energy drinks give you energy i suggest try this crazy little tip instead...........eat!

[camreeno360]

Eat your vegetables? Why did he say that lol? To compensate for the health effects of energy drinks?

[OoIGNiTEoO]

@camreeno360 he was adding some humor to the video.

[Avaisak47]

this dude sucks who cares carry on drinking if you like it and btw you only live once why waste it

[stevenmorookian16]

energy drinks are for pussies.

[RainbowManification]

Energy drinks are ok in small amounts.

[Blueking09991]

How about all you racist fan boys of energy drinks take into consideration what he is saying. Energy drinks are bad for you. For one they stunt your growth meaning you won't grow as tall as were supposed to. They do make your heart beat faster which could probably kill you. Just because your a fan doesn't give you the right to be racist. And FYI I'm white and am not a racist in anyway shape or form.

[Chris9ian]

All enegry are terrible for you if you need enegry try water

[DoctorChainsaw]

@Chris9ian - Energy? Water? IIRC, water gives no energy.

[Chris9ian]

@DoctorChainsaw Yes it does it also cleans out your body

[DoctorChainsaw]

You get 0 kilojoules from water. It serves as a solvent for solutes in the body, but you do not get energy from it. Look up 'nutritional analysis of water'.

[Chris9ian]

@DoctorChainsaw I always feel more engerized when i drink water

[DoctorChainsaw]

@Chris9ian - Water is refreshing, especially after exercise or when you are dehydrated, however it does not energy to your body.

[mentalmonkey26]

@DoctorChainsaw urm food maybe!

@lcgangsta1991 Classic example of an Ad Hominem

[HaVoC5000]

@YouthHealth I just learnt a word because of you lmao. ad hominem.

[Blueking09991]

@lcgangsta1991 あなたは馬鹿と人種差別主義者なアメリカ人です。Read that if you can.

[nomchews]

@lcgangsta1991

Really that's what you got from the video?

It's sad how 'that chink', at school will be a Doctor that could end up saving your life, or that 'curry' Indian is the engineer that improves our daily lives... Just because they're smarter then you, doesn't mean you should be racist.

[doggiedog142]

loss of electrolytes? try powerthirst! they have electrolytes, powerlytes, morolytes; more lytes than your body HAS ROOM FOR!

[StayThereAMinute]

Energy drinks have a huge effect on the body and shortens life with the more you abuse it. In a recent study someone had died from a liver failure. With intense study they found out there were high amounts of ingredients used in energy drinks left within the liver.

[nova4009]

uh...my little bro is 12 and he wants to drink redbull...do you think he is too young?

[djguro]

Great video.

[mariosuperz]

That bull is drawn so bad hahahah

[slicker567]

Energy Drinks are the da bomb!

[airshom]

Thank you for this informative video about energy drinks, Paul.

It really helps me and everyone have a clear example of the effects.

Many of my friends drink this everyday, and I don't think it's healthy for them..

I'm sticking with water.. gatorade or protein drinks.

Thanks YouthHealth!! Wooh!! :D

[YouthHealth]

@FluXDKronak Thanks for the question! So the whole reason energy drinks incorporate this ingredient is because they believe it enhances mental performance and provide more "kick" like you said. But research shows that it is ineffective for that purpose.

IT IS HOWEVER used for primarily PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), Vitamin B6 Deficiency, morning sickness in pregnancy, depression, homocystinuria, hyperhomocysteinemia, Alzheimer's disease.

[YouthHealth]

@YouthHealth Oh the previous comment was for Vitamin B6.

Effectiveness:

1. Hereditary Sideroblastic Anemia (Works)

2. Hyperhomocysteinemia (Research shows likely effective)

3. Possibly Effective is: Age-related macular degeneration, kindney stones, PMS, Morning sickness, lung cancer, tardive dyskinesia.

Ineffective: Alzheimers, autism, cognitive function. 

[YouthHealth]

@YouthHealth

For Vitamin B12 it is used for: pernicious anemia, vitamin b12 deficiency, imerslund-grasbeck disease, hyperhomocysteinemia, AMD.

Ineffective for: Circadian Rhythm sleep disorders, Cognitive Function, Stroke.

Hope that helps! I couldn't go too in depth in the video or else it would be a super long video! I will try to cover these subjects more in depth in other videos. Thanks for watching :)

[blackberryjuice1]

Look at you go on that pullup bar!

[amg703]

Hey man! nice video, very informative :D

[YouthHealth]

@amg703 Thanks! :)
