1 to 2 a day is nothing. I know people who drink 20 coffees a day.

It's still empty calories though, I wouldn't call it a good habit.

Unless you have any preexisting heart conditions, you'll be fine.

And don't let any of the crackpot conspiracy theorists on these boards tell you otherwise.

"There’s no long-term research on how caffeine, taurine and glucuronolactone interact in the body. That has some countries saying: ‘No studies? No thank you.’"

" Countries like Norway, Denmark and France are so nervous about the can’s contents, they’ve banned the sale of Red Bull.

French nutritionist Isabelle Vanrullen, who works with the country’s food safety agency, says France banned the brew because of how the ingredients in Red Bull interact:

“There are various side effects for each one of these three substances, which vary in degrees of severity. And they can also interact with each other.”


The French health committee canned the sale of Red Bull, partly because a study found that rats fed taurine exhibited bizarre behaviour. That behaviour, says Vanrullen, included: "anxiety, irritability, a high sensitivity to noise --sudden jumps in their cages-- and most of all, self-mutilations."

Besides, that study was done by French people... Why would you ever trust the French?
