Im a nurse and for the past 3 years i have been drinking a sugar free monster almost every day. A month ago i was working nights out of town and driving 5 hours once or twice a week to go home while drinking 1-2 monsters a day, and sleeping about 2-4 hours a day sometimes not sleeping at all for 24 hours.. I did this for about a month and woke up one morning with palpitations that persisted.. about 5 hours later my apple watch told me i had afib.. did an ekg at the hospital and i had Afib RVR in the 140s-160s. this is a dangerous arrythmia that can lead to more complications. I had to be admitted to the hospital and finally converted back to a normal sinus rythym after about 20 hours.... im only 29 years old.. scariest time of my life.

Thank you for the video. I'm 24 and I work as a surveyor, so long days tiring days. I drink one sugar free energy drink every day when I get up monster, rockstar, c4 whatever is on sale for about 2ish years now. I'm always worried what could happen but everything I see online, says that a sugar free energy drink once a day is no different then drinking coffee. The cancer scare from them was a myth of the past and all that. so this video helped to calm my nerves alot.

I ve been drinking Green Monster for 10 years now sometimes two per day and im still healthy. However i understand is not for everyone. Also you should drink a lot of water at the end of your day, it cleans your body.

My (sugar free) Monster addiction started during my time in the Marine Corps. It started as one white monster when I really needed it, fast forward almost 5 years (I’m now out of the Marine Corps)…. My addiction followed me. I have at least one sugar free monster a day. I hardly ever have more than one, and if I do I make sure there’s at least 6-8 hours in between the drinks while drinking plenty of water in between. So thank you for making this video with useful information and content! I definitely need to incorporate a few of your tips into my habit!

As a person experiencing insomnia, depression and anxiety disorder, it is a nice alternative to stay awake when you are sleep deprived is nice when you are studying at ghe University. As you said, only take them when really needed otherwise the effect will decrease as thr body build a tolerance. Thanks for the informations 👍

[irisgutierrez]

The fact that you have to call the poison center because of energy drinks. Says it all. Thank you

[thetruth]

I think you are incredible for sharing your knowledge with everyone, thank you so much for doing it, my experience with Monster Energy was terrible, after taking 1 can a day everyday I felt I could lift the whole gym, after 2 months doing so, I woke up with a terrible pain in the abdomen, sweating gallons, it was scary, I went to the doctor to check it out, there was an alteration in my liver and I knew it was caused by the energy drink because I eat healthy, don’t drink, don’t smoke and never did any drugs, I researched and found out that inositol found on energy drinks are bad for the liver, so I quit the energy drinks and did another test 3 months later to find out that my liver was back to normal, some brands are stronger and potentially more harmful than others due the high caffeine as well, the sugar found on these drinks can eventually lead to diabetes like happened to a friend of mine on his 30’s . Just wanted to share that you, thank you for all you do and keep up !

Watermelon is my favorite fruit. Not sure how much sugar is in that though, im type 2 diabetic. :)

[MJCline]

Well this is informative. I already have a one can per day rule set up. Too much caffeine ain't good in energy drinks. Plus we're God's own creations. Our bodies are temples of Him.

[prezidenttrump]

Woman, where have you been all my life?! You called people out on their BS, yet gave accurate information based on your many years of study. You're beautiful, kind, and super smart... very uncommon! haha. Thank you so much for this information. I have caffeine throughout the day, keeping it to one energy drink and a half tab for 100MG Caffeine if I feel a slump around 6 hours after my 160MG Monster White drink. I keep it at or around 300 per day and I'm feeling fine. Sometimes I do get tired after taking a caffeine pill, yet... don't seem to have the same problem when drinking an Energy drink. The pills in question are "No Doze" and I'm not sure if the extra vitamin content in the Monster (4000% daily amount of bullsh#t, whatever that means) that gives the extra pep in the step?

Finally some normal video on energy drinks, all those other videos make it look like it's some hardcore drug and you shouldn't ever drink it. Good video straight to the point 👍

I've been drinking energy drinks daily for about 2 years, specifically Gfuel, which is pretty much like a pre workout, you mix it in water and you have an energy drink. It has 140-150mg of caffeine. I recently stopped drinking them since I've been feeling really bad from my stomach, I felt bloated all the time, sometimes I had nausea. I really miss the caffeine since I'm studying my masters degree and working, do you think caffeine pills could be a good alternative?

[ThriftHuntr]

I suppose we all immediately think of the most unhealthy energy drinks when someone says do you drink one every day. Oh and a banana I could eat everyday. Not very acidic and great for cycling, lifting weights, etc.

I just stumbled upon your channel, reccomended by CaffeineMan. Its so refreshing to listen to you. Im so tired of the media using all of these "energy drinks are DANGEROUS!!!!" headlines, to make money out of people, written by journalists with absolutely no doctor or scientific background. I like how informative and reflective you are. And also you are the cutest biochemist btw. One question tho, what about sugar free monsters? Lets say, the Monster Ultra Series. Would it be okay for me to drink one 16oz can of them every day? ( I take my cod liver oil on a daily basis aswell:-)

[ms.mittensmeowmeow]

Hi my tummy is pushed out several inches and rock hard within minutes if drinking energy drinks daily for one year, it just started doing this 5 days ago. I feel badly.

[premnathvishwakarma]
