Ok, I like my Mexican Coke but I recently read a RP article where he said Taurine was good -
"In the context of the excitatory actions of estrogen, and the inhibitory action of glycine, it would be reasonable to think of glycine as one of the antiestrogenic substances. Another type of amino acid, taurine, is structurally similar to glycine (and to beta amino propanoic acid, and to GABA), and it can be thought of as antiestrogenic in this context."
Knowing it contains Taurine, I took another look at Red Bull:
Ingredients
Carbonated water (Swiss Alp springs)
Sucrose
Glucose
Sodium Citrate (Preservative- Sodium citrate can be any of the salts of the citric acid. It is used as an alkalizer)
Taurine
Glucuronolactone (a chemical made naturally in the body when glucose is metabolized) -Possible health benefits*
Caffeine
Inositol (Inositol is a vitamin-like substance. It is found in many plants and animals -WebMD)
Niacinamide
Calcium Pantothenate (B5)
Pyroxidine HCL (B6)
Vitamin B12
Articical Flavors / colors

I wonder if the reason why these energy drinks are so popular is that Hypo kids are craving the B-Vits and Taruine? Maybe they're listening to their bodies. I had my first Red Bull since Peating and it did increase my BPM somewhat.
