Erythritol is the #1 ingredient after water. Google erythritol. "We were looking for compounds in blood that predict risk for experiencing a future heart attack or stroke. The top candidate that kept showing up was erythritol,"
This was a very large study (over 1000 subjects) and people with high Erythritol usage had twice the heart attack/stroke risk.
If you are young with no issues perhaps its OK. Certainly do not offer a can to anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or others at risk. It stays in your system many days.
Old news. The government is only ok with taking extra money and finding reasons where this is possible. Its only about money, not selling people poison. Student loans for example. Lets have people pay extra money for interest and if people cant afford it the government still makes that extra money either way. People are giving them money for the rest of their lives, even when an amazon energy drink gives them the cancer.
Correction: Taking money for themselves. They'll happily cut taxes for some, if it means millions in lobby and kickbacks for them.
Wasn't there a lab test that showed Bang doesn't have anywhere near the 300mg caffeine listed, and sometimes struggles to hit 100mg?
Yeah, ReizeClub sent two cans for testing to two different labs, one had 34mg of caffeine, the other had 188mg. Confusing results for so many reasons. Either Bang is lying or has terrible quality control, or both labs messed up some how. ReizeClub also sells their own energy drink, although it isn't competitive with Bang, so I doubt they're being deceptive especially when they outright say the labs they got the results from.
I found a Reddit post where the OP was told by a GNC employee that Bang as also been tested to have 900mg in a can, but found no other mention of that in a quick google search.
I know I personally have had varying results with Bang so I'm willing to trust the results, although 34mg does seem almost unbelievable.
"In general, artificial sweeteners are safe in limited amounts for healthy people, including pregnant people."
"Sugar substitutes also don't raise the level of sugar in the blood."
I'd love to hear why you've decided NOT raising blood sugar is bad for diabetics.

That Mayo-Clinic article was written before the Cleveland Clinic Feb 2023 test was made public. The study says that erithritol's negative effect is blood clotting, not blood sugar. The Cleveland Clinic results really surprised me, a 50% increase in risk is huge, the equivalent of stopping all of my HBP medications. So, my posting this link is because it is new information, and because I personally was consuming a lot of erithritol, which I have now stopped until there are further tests that dispute this one.
My guess is if you are not at risk for strokes, heart disease, or HBP it may be fine. If you have these risks, you should at least Google the new study and make up your own mind.

And yet our government is ok with companies selling this garbage
These ingredients are used in foods around the world. The USA is not the center of the universe, approving every other country's own studies and food regulations.

idgaf but there are a plethora of food ingredients that are banned in every major population outside of the USA because we have lobbyists that get paid $$$$ to make sure the government doesn't ban certain ingredients because those specific ingredients are what give "X" company their insane margins!

Your body produces erythritol naturally. I believe the recent study only looked at extremely sick people and I don't think it looked at or controlled for exogenous erythritol consumption.
I have not read the study personally but saw criticism from reliable sources.
"I haven't read the study but I'm here to tell you - someone else me told it's wrong."
Really dude?

rockstar 240mg
Monster 140mg
Ghost 200mg
And bang is correct at 300mg.
And I don't drink redbull but a quick search shows it at 80mg
The fact that I know this off the top of my head probably means I have a issue with energy drinks lol.
