Is Red Bull Really Poisoning Us?

Описание: Red Bull is "slowly poisoning us"? Let's talk about it. 🔴

A viral video is claiming Red Bull and artificial sweeteners cause heart attacks, strokes, and cancer based on ONE observational study. But here's what they're not telling you.

The study they're citing showed a tiny 10-15% increased risk based on self-reported data. That's not causation—that's correlation. People with higher risk factors might just be drinking more diet products.

When you zoom out to the 2025 umbrella meta-analysis combining tens of thousands of participants, the data shows NO association between typical artificial sweetener intake and cancer. Zero.

Look, I'm not here telling you to chug energy drinks all day. I'm a dietitian—I drink them myself in moderation. And yes, 40-60 grams of sugar first thing in the morning isn't doing you favors if you're not active. But calling sugar-free options "poison" based on cherry-picked studies? That's fear-mongering.

If you like energy drinks, keep them in moderation and pick lower sugar options. But don't panic about sucralose based on misleading interpretations of observational data.
