The citrus flavour MONSTER energy drink
is not only tasty but packs the usual taurine, ginseng, caffeine and Guarana
that are associated with energy
beverages. Does this can of pure energy
come with side effects? As users
we all have experienced the monstrous
effect only to want to experience that
same punch the next day. We all
want to know if this quick fix has long
term side effects.
Side effects that are related to Monster
Energy include gastro-intestinal
problems. This drink has
particularly high levels of
carbohydrates which makes it more
difficult for nutrients and fluids to be
absorbed into the bloodstream.
That can be particularly dangerous to
your health if you are exercising and
losing a lot of fluid.
Monster Energy Drinks have a high sugar
content. When the sugar leaves the
bloodstream your energy level can
plummet significantly.
It has been suggested that the high
levels of caffeine can disturb sleep,
and be a contributing factor with heart
disease and high blood pressure.
One Monster Drink user reported all
kinds of side effects. She had
pains in her stomach, vomiting,
headaches, mood swings, blurred vision,
and inability to concentrate. If
your experiencing these side effects
than maybe you should quit. |
