Food For Thought - the Podcast

Caffeine, Taurine and Guarana - Oh My!

Health Promotion Team Edmonton Season 5 Episode 2

Energy drinks - it's hard to know how many people drink them, but it's a safe bet to say that it's a lot. Seeing as how there are always 2 for some dollar amount deals at your gas station or convenience store, the marketing is working and people are snapping them up like hotcakes, or in this case, canned-pick-me-ups! In my university days, there were those students that relied on Wake-Ups to get through exam crunch time, but there is no longer just one option out there. From Energy shots, to extra-caffeinated cola's to every imaginable iteration of energy drinks, there is something out there for almost everyone. Join Nicole and I as we take a look at the why's and the cons (there might be a few pro's but you'll have to tune in) and how you might be able to navigate the landmines that are energy drinks!
