Energy Drinks: What You Need to Know

Do you know the difference between a sports/electrolyte drink (one that contains carbohydrates and electrolytes) and an "Energy” drink? All of these names for drinks can be confusing– but don’t be fooled. Look closely at the ingredients. If you are drinking something that advertises itself as an Energy Drink- you are probably helping yourself to a hefty dose of stimulants. The proper name for this class of drinks could be “Stimulant Drinks”.
