Take that, red bull bonces!!!
This is still less sugar than the chocolate milk cartons they serve in American schools
Sounds like something off a spurlock doc. If true, What a sorry state of affairs.
Could be worse I guess, coca cola has about 50g or so in a can
On another note, I hate how all drinks add more sugar than needed. I usually use only 10g to sweeten my milk tea, but every canned drink is 30 to 50g
I presume you’re not a fan of sugar cubes then in favour of a spoon?
Looks like my bowl of sugar cubes for breakfast is back on the table.
This is why I only drink the six foot tall monster screw top cans. I’m so much healthier than those red bull peons.
actually according to their website it’s 27g of sugars. What I found even funnier (or worse) though is this
Makes it look like RB has less sugar than juice, but we’re comparing 100ml of the bull to 250ml of juice. FFS
They’re comparing serving sizes. There are 100ml cans of red bull. But if I asked you for a cup of apple juice, and you put just a 100ml cup in front of me, I’d ask you where the fuck the rest of it is.
There are 100ml cans of redbull? 100ml is usually the volume listed alongside the servingsize or can size to allow people to more easily compare products. When you compare composition of one thing to another, it is always fairer to compare equal volumes, or use percentages.
but it’s only one gram per ml! Diet!
Only if you drink 100ml though. I believe a standard can had 2-3 times that amount
What about Turaine and Caffeine ? Also compare it to natural fruit juice without sugar and added preservatives…etc
Those numbers are about right for the sugar in freshly pressed apple juice tbh. That is why you can get quite a bit of alcohol when you make scrumpy.
Well let’s have a look at the quantities of caffeine and Turaine of red bull and compare, shall we? Here, have a look at this: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/energydrink/products/red-bull-energy-drink-ingredients-list
Possibly two different people rounded it differently.
I just got the stats off this page on their website
Yeah it’s not good when big companies like that make such misleading comparisons
It’s the same as any soda. Around 10% of the drink like coca cola or Pepsi.
That means I can drink two!
I thought that the sugar industry worked really hard to ensure they didn’t have to show a daily % amount on the right across from the grams listing. I have never seen a % there before. Crazy.
Maybe it’s just my state, but I’ve seen the percent there on pretty much everything I can think of.
Reminder, the percent isnt the percent of the can, it’s the percent of the “recommend daily value” (which is what the %DV at the top means) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_Daily_Intake
Wait why are you not drinking red bull zero
All zero drinks are disgusting and I have no idea why people drink that shit. If you don’t want to get fat, don’t drink soda. Very simple.
My philosophy is that I don’t want to become accustomed to super-sweet everything. Because then I will crave sugar. So artificial sweeteners avoid the sugar now but they make me accustomed to wanting more sweetness in everything, which will lead to more sugar consumption later.
What do I drink? Espresso with 8oz milk (no sugar), or water, or unsweetened iced tea with maybe a splash of sweet tea on top to take away the dryness feeling. At least 5:1 ratio unsweet to sweet.
I have the same lifestyle with almost no candy or soda. Sometimes cinnamon buns though. I feel that on the rare occasions I really want to eat something sweet, I will go for a proper authentic one that taste great.
Some people don’t mind or like how it tastes.
No reason to get upset about what other people enjoy.Pop and juice are easy ways to consume huge quantities of calories faster than you expect, but saying you need to eschew flavor if you want to not get fat is silly.
I would prefer to drink something without any sweetness at all than drink something with of this sweetener substitute. Damn, give me a salty drink before an artificial sweetener one.
You can rip the sucralose from my cold dead hands. Keep your disgusting corn sugar.

The article you linked specifically discusses how the findings of the study don’t translate to living organisms and that there is no evidence that levels found in food are harmful.
Look I’m of the opinion that we’re all gonna die and if I’m drinking energy drinks regularly, it’s not cause I am aiming to live a healthy life.
But don’t all those zero calorie, alternate sweeteners also apparently cause heart problems and other stuff as well?
Sugar causes far more harm than sweeteners.
Because it’s disgusting. The aftertaste and the way it coats my mouth is just nasty.
Fair. I actually prefer zero to sugar red bull. Every body is different!
That’s how I feel about the regular one. Locarb RB/Monster are my go tos
Every person’s mouth is different, I can’t drink anything with artificial sweeteners without feeling kinda gross afterwards. I stick to cane sugar sodas as much as I can. Kinda easy since I work at a soda factory that exclusively uses cane sugar. Ill mix our in-house energy with orange cream soda and oh my that shits good.
Oh yeah I wasn’t saying you’re wrong. Just sharing since I thinkits funny I feel the same as you do but about the opposite end of the sugar scale for red bull. Full sugar monster is fine for me. I don’t drink the full zero energies because they often mess with my stomach. I wish more stuff used cane sugar, I almost always prefer that version of a drink!
Oh yea definitely, I didn’t take it that way. Sorry if it sounded as such. It’s crazy how the artificial sweeteners vibe differently with people. Shoot even water is like that, some areas the water makes my stomach hurt lol 😂
The slogan, “RedBull gives you Wings” needs an asterisk. It only applies to those who are grated into heaven after they die of diabeetus
It actually gives you wiiings. Which apparently they do to avoid false advertisement or some shit?
This comment made my shit night
You probably shouldn’t look at the sugar in the sweet tea from McDonald’s then…
The fastest way to give lab rats diabetes is to feed them vegetable oil.
“Nah im not tired or insomniac i just love consuming 3 cans of bull piss every single day it tastes just good”There are few drinks that I can’t stand the smell of but Redbull just smells fucking disgusting.
