Rockstar promises a better party. SoBe's Adrenaline Rush promises, well, a rush. Other drinks boast superhuman vigor with names such as Killer Buzz, Full Throttle or Rip It. Red Bull says, "It gives you wings." No way, say medical experts Not only do such drinks fail to offer a special boost, they say, their high caffeine and sugar content causes dehydration and could be dangerous for the young and active. "These drinks are marketing ploys. I'm not aware of any scientif- ic data that they do what they say they're goingto do," said Mark Kantor, professor of family and consumer sciences and nutrition at the University of Maryland. "They don't give you more ener- gy," Kantor said. "A nutritionist defines energy as calories." "Ifyou refer to energy as some- thing that gives you pep and zip and stamina, that's just a myth. There's nothing that provides that in food." Energy drinks, which have high >amounts of caffeine and ingredi-, ents such as taurine and glucurono- lactone, have exploded in the bever- age market since 1997. Most of the explosion has been among young people Some guzzle down die drinks at clubs and bars, mixing them with liquor; others tank up before play- ing in a sports event or grab a can to prepare for the workday or to stay awake and study.
