Energy Drink Alert

Anyone who is out with teenagers and young adults  in the morning will see them on the bus having a energy drink  to get them awake before school and work.  Lucky they are not in Denmark, Malaysia or  France as Red Bull  has been banned from those countries.  If you are a consumer of energy drinks read this vital information below.
Red Bull was originally  created to stimulate the brain in people who are subjected to great physical force and was never designed to be consumed by normal people, especially not children, teenagers and young adults.
The reason Red Bull was banned in France and Denmark is due to its vitamin components mixed with a highly dangerous chemical which was developed by the United States Department of Defense during the 1960s to stimulate the morale of the troops based in Vietnam.
The chemical that is in Red Bull acts like a hallucinogenic drug that calmed the stress of war in the GIs.  The effects of this on the human body were also devastating.  The U.S. Army discontinued its use.  It caused a high index of cases of migraine headaches, cerebral tumors, and diseases of the liver.
My advice to everyone who thinks these drinks are a great idea.  If you don't have enough energy to make it through the day then you are not getting enough sleep, exercise or proper nutrition.  There should be no reason to "boost" your energy through artificial means.  Learn how to balance your health the natural way and ditch the artificial  "crutches".  


So when you have the two-thirty blues,  just remember that its not an incurable disease.  Have some extra water, take a short walk in the fresh air, pop some vitamins and power up on something nutritious.
