You sure about those numbers? There seems to be a bit of 'plucking numbers out of orifices' going on to me.

Bet you got it from one of those 'fitness' articles.

Which is fair enough, but no excuse for just making up numbers in order to promote your product.

I'll list the ingredients in a Monster and you need to tell me which ones are the 'bad ones' that are causing kidney issues:

carbonated water,

sucrose,

glucose,

Citric acid

Natural flavors

Taurine

Sodium citrate

Panax ginseng root extract

L-carnitine

Caffeine

Sorbic acid

Benzoic acid

Niacinamide

Sodium chloride

Glucuronolactone

Inositol,

Guarana seed extract

Pyridoxine hydrochloride

Sucralose

Riboflavin

Maltodextrin

Cyanocobalamin.

And to be clear, these numbers are not made up, exactly. They just don't mean anything at all. You don't have to drink some set amount of water to clear a particular beverage from your kidneys. That's not how kidneys work.

Someone I'm friends with on Facebook started posting this stuff recently. I was going to unfriend at first, but decided that it was all just too funny to pass on. Thought I'd see if LR got a chuckle out of it as well.

I takes 6.3 gallons of water

OR

A 20 oz. Redbull!

Rock

On

Bruthas

Brah, I CRUSH Red Bulls after every run. You mad, brah?

Where are you getting this info? I would like to use it but I can not find the source

Oh, stop. That's not even close to truthful. I wholeheartedly agree: it's not good for you by any stretch, but those numbers are laughingly ridiculous.

Please explain, from a physiological standpoint, what it means to "flush X out of kidneys".

I'm not arguing with you, I just have no idea what it means to "flush" something out of the kidneys. Does that mean the something will be "stuck" in the kidneys if not flushed? Clog them? Just lie there stinking it up?

Please elaborate or admit that the only thing to be flushed is your bullshit, which I'm afraid may resist even 6.3 gallons of water.

Like to use it? You don't need to pass kindergarten to know it's false. Everyone who drinks several a day (and there are many) would be dead in less than a month if that math were true.

The amount of misinformation in this post is staggering, but what do I know; I'm just a nephrologist, a kidney specialist.

Average fluid intake for an adult is close to 2.5L per day in my experience. That's a gallon every day and half. More active people or big salt eaters drink even more.

What is this nebulous "flushing out of kidneys" comments? That's not how your kidneys function; that's not the way your physiology works.

Are energy drinks healthful? Probably not but they don't rise to your stated level of harm.

Sensationalistic BS.

sucralose and inositol, sugar alcohols and sugar substitutes are very bad for you. They cause bloating, constipation, and other gi issues with short term use and major health problems with long term use.

Keep drinking that crap and you will be a Marathon Man in the dentist's chair. Is it safe? Haha!

Canadians drink a gallon of coffee daily, this is dumb.

Bloating and constipation are not "very bad". So you're wrong about the short term problems. Exactly what are the "major health problems with long term use"?

Yep, lots of sugar is bad for you.

But there's nothing in these energy drinks that's particularly bad compared with normal sodas like Coke and stuff, that was more my point.

I think those numbers are a tad (way off) being correct, I have been drinking monsters for years, I also save the tabs for the monster gear promotion, so to give you an idea of how much monster I drink, I have been save tabs from the cans I DRINK for about 2 years waiting on their promotion, and I just sent in right at 4900 tabs, So I alone drank 4900 monsters in the past couple years, and I am perfectly healthy and have no issues besides this damn cold congestion right now. lol
