| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the benefits of energy drinks. |
| 0:24.6 | Now in theory, when you consume an energy drink, you're supposed to have more brain energy, |
| 0:29.2 | exercise performance, more endurance. Your cells are supposed to be recharged, but in reality, |
| 0:35.1 | most energy drinks out there will cause brain fog, less exercise performance, less endurance, |
| 0:43.1 | and the ingredients will deplete your cells. Now the big problem with energy drinks is that |
| 0:48.0 | the ingredients don't give you real energy. These drinks are composed of two main things, |
| 0:55.5 | caffeine and sugar. Let's take Red Bull, for example. 8.4 ounces gives you 80 milligrams of caffeine. |
| 1:03.3 | A 16 ounce monster drink is a 160 milligrams of caffeine. A 16 ounce rock star drink gives you |
| 1:11.6 | 160 milligrams. The five hour energy drink, the real small one that has like 1.83 ounces, |
| 1:19.0 | gives you 200 milligrams of caffeine. And guess what? Caffeine is not a fuel. It's a stimulant. |
| 1:27.6 | It gives you this artificial sense that you have energy, but really it's just revving up your |
| 1:32.8 | adrenal glands. Now the next problem is the crazy amounts of sugar that is in one of these |
| 1:37.6 | drinks. One of these drinks has about 36 grams of sugar. That is crazy. What's going to happen is |
| 1:46.1 | your blood sugar is going to spike and then the hormone insulin is going to come in there and |
| 1:50.4 | take that sugar and push it all the way down. And now you're going to be really tired, |
| 1:55.6 | irritable, and grouchy. And you're going to want another drink because you need to actually |
| 2:00.8 | bring the energy up with caffeine and more sugar and you're in this cyclic trap. Now you might be |
| 2:06.5 | thinking I'm going to exercise, so I'm going to be using up my energy, my glucose in the muscles. |
| 2:12.4 | And so I need to replace that, right? So I'll just drink an energy drink, get the sugar and put it |
| 2:16.9 | back. Well, a lot of the sugar that is in the energy drink is not just glucose. It's fructose |
| 2:25.3 | as in high fructose corn syrup, as in dextrose, which is synthetic corn syrup or just corn syrup. |
| 2:33.0 | So now you're getting a good portion of that fructose. And what a lot of people don't realize is |
