Energy Drinks
Consumer Reports Sept. 2007 says:
Most of the drinks list at least one stimulant ingredient. Green tea and guarana supply caffeine, as does yerba mate, found in Steaz. Ginseng might amplify caffeine's effects. Other ingredients include taurine, which some studies suggest improves mental performance, and glucoronolactone, which might yield a temporary "sugar buzz." Celsius and Enviga claim to burn calories, and in a few manufacturer-funded studies, healthy adults worked off about 100 calories more on average after drinking them than after drinking a placebo. (Connecticut's attorney general has asked Enviga for proof.) Other claims can be nonsensical. Red Bull says it "improves performance, especially during times of increased stress or strain," but high caffeine levels can actually cause anxiety.
