and our butts are getting larger?. Many health drinks with high sugar content now disguise the sugar as "crystalline fructose" or "high fructose corn syrup" or "HFCS" rather than Sugar. Even sugar substitutes are not as healthy as we once thought. The truth is that we like sweet drinks, but, healthy and sweet are not usually found in the same sentence. Additionally, many popular "energy" drinks are loaded with caffeine or other stimulants plus lots of disguised sugar. Also popular these days are labels that claim "all natural" or "organic" ingredients. Be reminded that many natural or organic ingredients are not really good for your. Dirt is organic and natural too but it is not safe to eat just because it is organic and natural. Always consider the ingredients listed on labels and be aware of the beverage's contents, especially high sugar content. Many of the exotic ingredients and claims made of their health benefits are not based on good science or any science at all. Consumers seem to have an affection for miracle ingredients and exotic plants that come from far away places. Reality check! - there is very little governmental regulation of any beverage ingredient that has not been proven to kill you within 48 hours. Beware of unproven health claims and watch those labels. Also, combining energy stimulants with alcohol, which has become extremely popular, can be hazardous to your health and to others as well.

Please keep this fact in mind when making your beverage selections: Your good health is not the primary focus of the beverage industry and not the reason they have developed these enticing new formulas - profits are!
