Did you know that you are crucially damaging your body when consuming Red Bull? You are consuming poison that will lead to extreme damage for your body. For those of you who are lovers of Red Bull, I’ m sorry to tell you that this energy drink is ruining your body and your life. Red Bull is highly addictive, causes sleeping disorders, major mood swings, and chronic diseases. This energy drink will kill you without you even realizing it.
To start off, those of you who consume Red Bull should understand that if you don't stop consuming Red Bull it can become very addictive and can lead to critical outcomes. As you know many drinks contain caffeine, and that is one main ingredient in Red Bull. Red Bull contains  double the amount of an average cup of coffee."Caffeine is highly addictive – the more you drink the more you need – and you end up caught up in a vicious circle," says,Laura Mitchell a Technical Nutritionist. So Red Bull becomes like a drug the first time you drink it, it gives you a better effect. But after you tried one you will want to drink more than one a day, because one won't give you as much energy anymore, so you will want to drink it in more doses. “Caffeine is a psychoactive drug and caffeine addiction is now considered a recognized psychiatric disorder. If you stop consuming it you may find yourself experiencing the headaches, brain fog, extreme fatigue, and nausea of caffeine withdrawal.” this has been proven by Dr.Robert Portman. So this directly states that caffeine is very addicting and that if you become dependent on Red Bull for energy it will lead you to becoming addicted.

In addition to the addictive qualities of Red Bull, you should cease drinking Red Bull because it also leads to major sleep disorders. Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has analyzed that,  “Service members drinking three or more energy drinks a day were significantly more likely to report sleeping ≤4 hours a night on average than those consuming two drinks or fewer. Those who drank three or more drinks a day also were more likely to report sleep disruption related to stress and illness and were more likely to fall asleep during briefings or on guard duty.” This just proves that Red Bull makes you more sleepy rather than giving you more energy. You may feel more energized but after a while the “fake energy” fades off and you are feel more tired than before consuming the drink.  It is also said, "To save yourself from sleepiness and exhaustion, very soon we will also find ourselves craving another energy drink, starting the process of hiding our real body’s need for rest and nutrition all over again,”  says Laura Mitchell. Yes, Red Bull does help you stay up and be more alert, but it causes you to have sleeping disorders. This is because when all your body needs is sleep you instead give it fake energy which then gives it a false alert of you not being sleepy. That is why you should be extremely cautious when consuming Red Bull when you feel tired because if you consume Red Bull it will lead to tragic outcomes.

Furthermore, those of you who consume Red Bull should realize that you are severely damaging your health and putting yourself at risk to many chronic diseases. It has been proven through many tests that Red Bull has a critical effect on the human body. "It’s main effect on our body is raised blood pressure, which is dangerous for or heart and kidney health." It increases your heart rate and can lead to heart attacks, and because of high blood it can lead to the risk of diabetes. “A study of university students found drinking one 250ml can of the sugar-free version of the energy drink that 'gives you wings' increased the 'stickiness' of the blood and raised the risk of life-threatening clots.” says, Fiona Macrae a researcher from the daily mail magazine. These clots then cause heart attacks, which then can lead to hospitalization.  One major supplement in Red Bull is Glucuronolactone. This supplement has been proven to lead not only to severe health risks but to many deaths as well.“Glucuronolactone was first used in the Vietnam conflict to boost morale amongst GI's who were suffering from stress and fatigue, but was banned after a few years following several deaths and hundreds of cases involving anything from severe migraines to brain tumours in personnel prescribed the stimulant.” (Mikkelson). This is crucial evidence that Red Bull can lead to severe illnesses and has a critical amount of death risks. 

Lastly, those of you who consume Red Bull should also realize that not only does Red Bull affect your health, but it also has an immense effect on your mood as well. Yes, at first when you drink Red Bull it does give you a boost of energy, but by the end of the day you become more irritated and restless. This is further explained in an article proving how Red Bull affects the mood,“Moreover, this drink can also cause irritation and restlessness. There are people who get addicted to Red Bull and when they are able to get this drink they often feel irritated and restless. This can also cause extreme mood swings and it normally leads to extreme violent behavior.” (“Healthy Drinks”).  This energy drink messes with your brain and mood causing you to become a more irritated and violent person. It has been proven that think energy drink causes major complications with your brain and mood, “During this time, there were more patients age 18 to 39 than any other age group, but the largest growing increase was in people age 40 or older. Reported mood-related complications of energy drinks include depression, anxiety, lethargy, hallucinations and mania.” says, August McLaughlin a health writer with more than 10 years of experience as a nutritionist.  Red Bull causes you to have very negative mood swings and damages your brain so it can’t function properly. It is said that Red Bull can be called a Cocaine Energy Drink because it is made from the same plant as cocaine. Because Red Bull’s effect is similar to a drug, after consuming it, people’s moods drastically change. As you can see Red Bull plays a big role of how you act, and could be the reason of you feeling restless, violent, and irritated.

In conclusion, now that you know all of the ways Red Bull harms your body you have no right to not care. Those of you who drink Red Bull should stop drinking Red Bull, because Red Bull, which was created by Dietrich Mateschitz, is having a huge harmful affect on your body and health. Red Bull is highly addictive, because of the caffeine and high levels of sugar, this is dangerous because Red Bull can become like a drug. Red Bull causes sleep disorders, which disrupts the essential rest your body needs. When drinking Red Bull you are at a  high risk of obtaining serious diseases. Red Bull can also cause a change in mood, which causes people to be more irritated and aggressive. As you can see through this that even though Red Bull might seem to help you, it actually does not. It gives you fake energy that lasts for a certain time, but in the end you end up damaging your body and health. Those of you who drink Red Bull I encourage you to stop, you are putting poison into your body that is damaging and leading your body to death. The choice is all up to you, either you keep on poisoning your health and body or you stop drinking the poisonous Red Bull.
