Need a pick-me-up? Just grab an energy drink and you’ll be good to go, right?

Energy drinks aren't JUST a super-strong dose of caffeine. They can also contain large doses of synthetic or artificial sugars, dyes, & other ingredients. An average can of Red Bull contains 27 grams of artificial sugar!
