Red Bull and energy drinks

Tired? Weary? Ready for a pick-me-up? Red Bull anyone? Well when I see this I see Red and I think "Bull"!

A study in Australia has found that people who regularly drink sugar free Red Bull (that means laced with aspartame and other sweeteners) had a cardiovascular profile similar to that of people with heart disease!

Just one sugar-free Red Bull increased the "stickiness" of the blood and raised the risk of blood clots!

Only the other day in the paper I read about a teenage girl who was drinking 8 cans of this stuff - a day! Just the caffeine is enough to make you hyper!

Why put chemicals in your body if you don't have to? Stick to Green Tea or water for a healthier body!
