i don't know why, but most energy drinks give me a horrible heart-burn!  i stay away from Red Bull at all costs.  i have tried other brands, but it seems the small cans, like RedBull comes in, always cause heart burn. 

i have tried crystal light energy packets, and they don't effect me really at all.  i am not too sure if they spark more energy in me, but they deffinetally don't cause any pain.

i also tried Amp OverDrive, which i feel is the only canned energy drink i can drink, but its been awhile since i picked one up.

Back to the question of if Red Bull is healthy or not, i have no idea, lol, but i can guess that its not.  i try to stay away from things that are carbonated, i prefer to stick to water and flavored water.  i love crystal light-like products.

my GirlFriend proved to me how no sodas are really healthy, just by comparing sodas to water, by the amount of times i need to relieve myself.  Soda gets held in my body longer then water, causing i guess more water-weight, and holding all that sugar and wonderful stuff in my body longer.

These aren't facts, well they are for me anyways, but they are just opinions of mine, so it could be affected differently for different people.

Best wishes and keep healthy!
