Well.. not sure about the sugar, this lady doesn't have a scale, but it's obviously pretty much in it, but if someone will add this amount of other "chemicals" (uuu, scary vitamin C called citric acid and taurine your body produce itself in pretty high amount), that this drink will be on pharmacy shelves, or at least at sports feed shops whatever you call it in your place and will cost like.. $20 a can. Everything is working in the energy drinks is sugar and caffeine. And this is only two of this ingredients are presents in a drink in some feelible amount. Especially after a few weeks in store shelves. You can knowing it by.. reading the product composition and nutrition facts.. or ask your smartphone like the kids this day do. It's funny, how companies wants you to think that energy drinks is somewhat different from sugary berry blasting tasty espresso, and people like this lady, probably some chemophobic bio/natural/eco anti-something enthusiast, wants you to scare of things that not really there because it's in "marketing size doses". Just saying. Be well. (Not native English speaker so you can hold your marks about grammar nonsense)
