Sugar is the big bad wolf in energy drinks but let's not forget about caffeine. A generic cup of coffee averages 100 mg of caffeine in 8 oz. Many energy drinks has the same amount but because many bottles are often 16 and 20 oz, if you drink the whole amount, you are ingesting
200 mg or more in a single energy drink

You'll find caffeine amounts as well as sugar amounts in many standard beverages. Only you can decide if an energy drink is a good choice for you after you huffed and puffed to burn off 200 or 300 calories on the elliptical or treadmill.
My decision is to drink water. Water has no calories, it's free and it is a vital component of our bodies.
In Health,
Laura
