Take that, red bull bonces!!!
That is a lot of sugar, but to be fair, go to your local convenience store (if you're in the US) and look at the back of just about any drink for sale aside from bottled water and you'll be hard pressed to find drinks that aren't just as bad.
To be clear, that means they are all terrible for you. I think that's pretty much universally true of anything you can buy in a gas station.
You don't need to be in a gas station to buy garbage. Most of the middle of the grocery store is garbage.
FYI a most sodas are 50-80 grams of sugar.
Hey hey now, leave my bath salts alone.
To be fair, if you look at sugar contents, even the "healthy" fruit juices are filled with them. In fact, many argue that a fruit juice is not as healthy as they tell us because while you get some of the good nutrients of fruit in them (when they are 100% and not from concentrate), you also get a huge intake of sugar that goes quickly into your blood. When you eat fruit, you take the same amount of sugar but you need to digest the fruit first, making it slower to absorb. It's a good practice to drink a fruit juice accompanied by something to eat so you don't get the sugar rush.
Like so many things in life, I think it's safest to file under "everything in moderation."
Soda isn't meant for human consumption, but the marketing is strong
Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y'all motherfuckers need ~~jesus~~ Liam
Aspartame is fine, sugar won't hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you're golden.
Stop spreading FUD.
Amazing how I’ve single handedly set this entire community on fire with this lol. I shall have to learn from this experience and do it all again.
you're probably going to get enraged comments but I'm not one of those. liam is the best
Yeah. It's not over 100%. Just drink one and it's fine.
If you can't control yourself drink the diet version or switch to something else.
The more infuriating part are sugar free energy drinks. Per definition they don't have any energy in them.
A can of petrol is a sugar free energy drink.
But it's super high in carbs.
As someone who grew up avoiding sugar and having to look at the back of everything this would have been relatively low in sugar compared to other products sold in that same store in my area. In the South of the US you would have a hard time finding something lower than sprite and or tea(~35g)without alternative synthetic sweeteners like aspertain and sucralose or just water and those options used to be sparce. A lot of times a convenience store would only have diet coke, unsweet tea, or water unless I was okay with 30+ grams of sugar. I'm not saying that it's okay to have that much sugar, but it definitely seems far out of the way from some of the much lower hanging fruit. For example even Gatorade and Powerade have more sugar per package unit and those were available via vending machines IN the school. Also, pretty much every fast-food drink station makes you choose between water, unsweetened tea, or something with almost 50g of sugar when in a can.
actually according to their website it's 27g of sugars. What I found even funnier (or worse) though is this
Makes it look like RB has less sugar than juice, but we're comparing 100ml of the bull to 250ml of juice. FFS
Looks like my bowl of sugar cubes for breakfast is back on the table.
Pet peeve.... sugar doesn't give you diabetes.
Chronically high intake of sugar especially from soft drinks can definitely contribute to type 2 diabetes
Just because someone has diabetes doesn't mean they have a bad diet though. But excess calories and weight gain, increased liver fat, and worsening insulin resistance can directly lead to it and shit like red bull can certainly help that along.
"Contribute" and "causes" are not the same thing. I volunteer at a camp for kids with diabetes and one of the many things we need to work on with the kids is telling them they didn't give themselves diabetes. People repeating what you are repeating is part of the problem.
Look, telling kids that they're not responsible for their diabetes versus warning people not to drink too much high sugar soda because it can contribute to type 2 diabetes are two very different and fine things.
Agreed, and if OP said what you said it wouldn't be a pet peeve of mine, but that's not what they said. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. The fact that anyone still repeats that bullshit causes a lot more trouble for actual diabetics than you realize.
Chronically high intake of sugar especially from soft drinks can definitely contribute to type 2 diabetes
While perhaps technically correct, this is misleading because it implies a relationship like smoking and cancer.
If you don't already have T2D then sugar intake won't give you T2D. It might make you overweight which might give you T2D but that's not really the sugar.
Conversely, plenty of people eating a healthy balanced diet who are not overweight develop T2D.
This is such a bad take. Sugar doesn't directly give diabetes to you. Your pancreas will try it's best, but if it's genetics or just insanely high sugar levels, it doesn't matter. The minute your body can't keep up with insulin production, the high levels of blood sugar absolutely wreck you.
39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke.
Wait why are you not drinking red bull zero
Because it's disgusting. The aftertaste and the way it coats my mouth is just nasty.
This is still less sugar than the chocolate milk cartons they serve in American schools.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I hate both lol
I thought that the sugar industry worked really hard to ensure they didn't have to show a daily % amount on the right across from the grams listing. I have never seen a % there before. Crazy.
Coca cola and Dr Pepper both have 40g sugar in a can
"Nah im not tired or insomniac i just love consuming 3 cans of bull piss every single day it tastes just good"
As a caffeine source, I would argue the bigger problem is a missed opportunity to get the phytonutrients in coffee or tea. For most people, their daily coffee might very well be the only source of polyphenols they get that day.
The slogan, "RedBull gives you Wings" needs an asterisk. It only applies to those who are grated into heaven after they die of diabeetus
Could be worse I guess, coca cola has about 50g or so in a can
On another note, I hate how all drinks add more sugar than needed. I usually use only 10g to sweeten my milk tea, but every canned drink is 30 to 50g
You can just drink the sugar free one and get alzheimers from the aspartame instead.
correlation
There are few drinks that I can't stand the smell of but Redbull just smells fucking disgusting.
