Fact #2 “Sugar-free” energy drinks are not necessarily healthier for you
By now, you should know about the devastating effects of sugar on your health. But what about “sugar-free” energy drinks? Since they don’t contain any sugar, they must be better for you right? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Many brands are using “sugar-free” labels as a marketing argument to sell more cans.
But in 99% of the cases, they contain a strong dose of unhealthy artificial sweeteners to make the taste drink sweet. So yes, they are technically free of sugar, but if they are filled with Ace-K or aspartame, the long-term impact on your health could be even worse…
As a rule of thumb, nutritionists recommend choosing energy drinks that contain a low amount of sugar from natural sources (fruits for example) or natural sweeteners such as stevia.
