I gave up cake frosting and Red bull

[V Nura]

I figured cake frosting prolly isn't very good for me...and red bull has been linked to three deaths and the FDA may pull it off the shelves....I'm on a major withdrawal

Judging from your AIMs yesterday and phone conversation, I would encorage you to give up ALL caffenated beverages.
You were hopping around a bit too much..

It's an austrian made energy drink.


It can be dangerous because too much can lower your blood pressure

and I see you neglected, This study says that it does lower blood pressure


Now I don't think anyone is saying that taurine is the scourge of our times...but bottom line

there are much better things you can put inot your body. Lowering blood pressure in healthy people..is not a good thing

I know there are better things you can put in your body. I did not agrue the point that it lowers blood pressure. I did read the link before I posted it.
