Energy Drinks (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly)

The explosion of energy drinks is a billion dollar industry. The more we understand what we put in our bodies, the best we have are the right decisions on the product is right for you.

First, you need to know the ingredients. Most companies like Red Bull, Rockstar and Monster, sucrose, glucose, fructose syrup, or sucralose.

Sucrose is an easily assimilated macronutrient that a source of quick energy to see the body, leading to rapidIncrease in blood glucose after ingestion. However, pure sucrose is not usually part of a human diet balanced for good nutrition, although it will be difficult to involve, to certain foods more palatable.

The consumption of sucrose has been associated with some adverse effects on health. The most common is dental caries or tooth decay, the attack in which oral bacteria convert sugars (including sucrose) from food into acids, the enamel of teeth. Sucrose, as a pure carbohydrate, has an energyThe content of 3.94 kcal per gram (or 17 kJ per gram). If a large amount of food containing a high percentage of sucrose, may have the beneficial nutrients from food, which can contribute to an increased risk of chronic disease to be postponed. It was suggested that beverages containing sucrose, the development of obesity and insulin resistance may be linked. [1] However, most soft drinks in the United States, now with high-fructose corn syrup, where no sucrose.

TheRapidity with which sucrose increased blood sugar can cause problems for individuals with defects in glucose metabolism, which lead people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycaemia. Sucrose can contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome. [2] In an experiment with mice fed a diet, a third of which was sucrose, the sucrose first elevated blood levels of triglycerides, visceral fat and ultimately resulted in insulin resistance. [3] Another study found that miceSucrose-rich diet developed high levels of triglycerides, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance [4].

Other alternatives would be to choose a product that has FOS(Fructooligasaccharide).

FOS is a dietary supplement popular in Japan for many years, even before 1990 when the Japanese government to begin to adjust to install a "Functional Food Study Committee" of 22 experts on "special dietary foods or functional foods", in which categories of foods enriched content (eg, vitamin-fortified wheat flour), [2], and is becoming increasingly popular in Western cultures for its prebiotic effects. FOS acts as a substrate forMicroflora in the large intestine, an increase of total gastrointestinal (GI) tract health. But he also acted as a supplement for the prevention of fungal infections.

FOS can be considered a small dietary fiber (such as fiber) with a low calorific value. The fermentation of FOS results in the production of gas and acids. Latter provide some energy for the body.

Choosing the right energy drink for you could be the difference between the feeling of sinking as disgusting and Sugar RushHeath concerns of the long or the best choice, since he is a natural alternative that will give you more energy, and reducing calorie intake.

Hope this help information.
