But the law of conservation of energy says you can't destroy energy!

State and federal food ministers have called for action on caffeinated energy drinks after NSW findings that most of the drinks exceed the legal limit for caffeine.
The drinks have been associated with recent cases of dizziness and nausea among teenagers.
The food regulation ministerial council has called for a "national compliance strategy" to be developed to regulate caffeinated energy drinks, Fairfax newspapers say.
Preliminary findings of tests on 70 caffeinated energy drinks, published this month by the NSW Food Authority, showed that 77 per cent of the tested drinks were over the legal limit for caffeine and one in three were 16 per cent over the legal limit.
Meeting in Brisbane on Friday, the ministerial council was told of concerns at the number of caffeinated energy drinks on the market and "reports of recent incidents involving their consumption by young people".
The ministers called for a report into the issues raised by the drinks and for options on what action should be taken.
NSW had already removed five of the drinks from the market after finding some of them exceeded the limit by 30 per cent, Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald said.


Noooo.... It made my life so happy.... :cry:
Though to be honest, it gave me shaky hands, palpitations and made me feel a bit anxious.

Still going well.

Only like 4 weeks left... geez thats a long time.

I had been drinking in moderation... not like 3 bottles a day like in year 12. I almost slept for a week when I stopped then... and I was all shaky and massive withdrawal symptoms and really highstrung.

Anyway, I think they're awesome. Well dark V anyway. It's like poisonous sex in a bottle.

How on earth can you think it's great when it's quite clear that it can have detrimental effects for your health?

And what's drinking in moderation?

Either you have to ban them or kids have to stop being stupid fuckers and drinking too much of them...only one of those seems likely.

You know, aside from the other shit in energy drinks, what's the difference between the caffeine consumption of multiple energy drinks and multiple cups of coffee?

I think the difference they make is that caffeine occurs naturally in coffee (although I vaguely recall some mention of them being allowed to increase the caffeine content because of that) and it's put in artifically in energy drinks.

Not necessarily wolfe
 
Coffee		Caffeine (mg)Caffeine/L
Coffee (Instant) 57 24.1
Coffee (Brewed)108 45.4
Coffee (Drip)   145 61.3
Starbucks Grande Coffee  330 69.7
Starbucks Tall Coffee 260 73.3
Starbucks Short Coffee  180  76.1
Coffee (Espresso) 77 173.6
Energy Drinks
Pulse 21  7.0
V  109 31.1
Monster Original  160 32.0
Mother  160 32.0
Red Bull 80 32.0
Red Bull Energy Shot 80  133.3
V Pocket Rocket Energy Shot 160 266.5

If we see here, the average coffee has more caffeine than the average energy drink.

With the exception of those insane energy shots.

How does artificially produced caffeine have any different effect to naturally occurring caffeine, provided the chemical is identical?

It doesn't at all. Just saying that I recall something about being allowed to increase the caffeine content of a substance if it already has caffeine in it.

Talk about double standards.

So if they milk the caffeine out of a plant with naturally occurring caffeine, will that be allowed?
