High caffeine in energy drink

Hey guys, we are back with another hot topic and I’m dead certain you all are gonna like it.

But before that, I wanna ask you a question all the hard work you do after your hectic schedule, do you consume any sort of drink to get your energy back , well I’m talking about energy drink. It tastes so good, but it does have harmful effects on your body. So our today’s topic is “High caffeine in energy  drink.”

This energy drink contains Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B3, etc. These vitamins does affect human body, but the main culprit is caffeine, which is in very high amount. Producer of these drinks often manipulate ingredient figures to increase their sales and this turns the tide in favour of producers.

Most of these brands have upto 320ppm  of caffeine in them. The Manufacturers claim  caffeine, taurine, glucoronolactone, vitamins, herbal supplements and sugar or sweetness that gives the energy.

According to study reports, it is the sugar that gives the energy rush, the caffeine only gives a “feeling” of energy.

Energy drinks fall under the category of “proprietors  foods ” in the Prevention Of Food Adulteration (PFA) Act of 1954.

    

An Amendment in the PFA act 2009 ensured that caffeine in energy drinks should be capped at 145ppm, the limit that was set for carbonate beverages.

However, Red Bull managed to set stay order on the amendment of the PFA act in 2010 And since then the energy drink market is expanding unregulated.

The Food Safety & Standards Authority Of India (FSSAI) is currently making regulations on energy drinks.

I guess many of you all are thinking how does these drinks affects environment, but it deteriorates human health, so individuals and government has to spend more on public health and also ill health disturbs food chain.
