Energy Drinks: Why shouldn't you drink them?

[Rodri]

they put floride in water.

They put Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Glucose, Taurine, Sodium Citrate, Color Added, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Sorbic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Niacinamide, Sodium Chloride, Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Guarana Seed, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Sucralose, Riboflavin, Maltodextrin and Cyancobalamin into Monster Energy drink.

So the main ingredient is water which may or may not have fluoride in it anyway. The second major ingredient is sugar (sucrose & glucose). The fourth main ingredient is citric acid (sodium citrate) which would give a sort of citrus tang to the drink in combination with the sugar.

The rest of the ingredients are really only trace amounts of various chemicals which I confess I don't know what they are really. They put fluoride in water? They put all sorts of chemicals in water and call them energy drinks.

[EDIT]I don't know if I made this point clearly: Energy drinks are mostly water; The water has to be drinking standard; Most beverage manufacturers purchase their water from the local water authority (as mains water) and that water may already contain fluoride if that is the policy of that local water authority.
