Is vitamin B really that bad for you? Or taurine?
The caffeine is mostly what makes energy drinks unhealthy too. That and the sugar but white monster is sugar free so if you put shit in your coffee instead of drinking it properly (black and no sugar), I'd argue that coffee is just as bad for you as energy drinks.
The high salt content in Monster is not to be overlooked, a coffee a day keeps the kidney stones away.
B6 can cause nerve damage long term. Taurine is just a part of bile, it is an amino acid that is in basically all meat. You aren't going to get enough of it from energy drinks to swing the needle one way or the other. They also have sugar or sugar alcohols that can fuck with blood glucose in all kinds of fun ways. Coffee, on its own, is basically just caffeine and water, it is going to be healthier than most other drinks categorically.
also aluminium cans = microplastics
aluminium is not safe for storing wet acidic things such as drinks, so the inside is plastic-coated
i wonder, which is worse: the microplastics, or the aluminium salts that would be the alternative problem?
I knew there was a reason I craved the strength and certainty of steel...
Honestly been wondering that a lot. I drink coffee daily. I don't feel like it's killing me. Surely it's not as bad as monster, but what if the amount I drink comes close to the same impact? Is receiving a daily dose of mental stimulants not supposed be part of a healthy diet? 🫠
