How much redbull is too much redbull?

[wavefunction]

Sugar free redbull. I’ve been drinking 3-4 litres daily lately, this is an increase from my usual 2 litre per day consumption.

I keep hearing people say things like energy drinks are poison they’re full of chemicals bla bla bla. But none of them have background in chemistry / biology, and then they go drink five cups of coffee full of sugar and eat shit food all day long. I don’t trust those people...

3 litres of redbull is double the maximum recommended daily dose of caffeine. Do you think it will do much damage to me in the long run?

That’s a bit excessive, at times I have been drinking a lot of energy drinks but usually 1.5L or less which is still a lot don’t you get jittery from that much? Currently I’m not touching them just a large coffee each morning and 2-3 scoops of c4 pre workout.

I do the same.
I synergize it with ephedrine sulfate.

Whatever damage its doing to you isnt half as bad as me elevating my urine ph and cleaving the ephedrine from its salt at 100 mg every four hours.

Looking at the ingredients, this is a horrible drink... Drinking anything out of aluminum is not a good idea. Sugar free Redbull is made with synthetic carbonation, which causes radicals and free radicals, resulting in mineral and oxygen deficiencies. Naturally carbonated water helps with oxygen absorption and replenishes electrolites and helps relax adrenal glands. Sugar free Redbull also has aspartame which is horrible for you. You would be much better off with some pre workout and naturally carbonated water.

Nope. I drink redbull for the taste, I take modafinil for stimulatory effect. I’ve been drinking regular redbull for as long as I can remember myself. Switched to sugar free six months ago. I don’t like any other drink really, is this weird?

Sugar free Redbull also has aspartame which is horrible for you.

If aspartame horrible for humans why would redbull be using it? Monster uses sucralose, is that better?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame:

Aspartame is one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients.[5] Reviews by over 100 governmental regulatory bodies found the ingredient safe for consumption at current levels.[6][7][8][9][10] As of 2018, several reviews of clinical trials showed that using aspartame in place of sugar reduces calorie intake and body weight in adults and children.

I googled your other arguments too and they seem like speculation at best. You into conspiracy theories much?

I I think you may have built up a very strong caffeine tolerance. I bet you would get migraines if you stopped drinking the red bull. It’s definitely not healthy in the quantity you are drinking.

I could write a long post detailing all the sources of my claims, however I doubt that would dissuade you from drinking red bull... I also didn't mention the harmful effects of that much caffeine which are obvious.

Aspartame has not ben proven to be bad for people and probably isnt as bad as sugar.
I love how people throw around the word "Carcinogen" today.
Of 62 known carcinogens 12 are naturally occouring in the human diet. Estrogen for example is a carcinogen we all have and most of us at unsafe levels.
Is aspartame bad? We don't know. Its not cyanide though which is in many things we eat as well. Perfectly safe in small doses.

Chugging redbull is not natural.
Anything used in excess will have effects.
Effects in some will be worse than in others.

Moderation.

A friend once told me that mild stimulants may not work on me anymore because of all the hard drugs I abused in my twenties. She might have been right somehow, sometimes I drink redbull right before bed and fall asleep no problem.

No need to type a lot of text, why not backup one of your claims with a reference to a credible source?

The excess of phenylalanine blocks the transport of important amino acids to the brain contributing to reduced levels of dopamine and serotonin.

Not sure how that could be a good thing.

...or a strong caffeine tolerance, yes - probably makes more sense. I’m going to stop consuming caffeine for a week to test this.

Let us know how it goes.
