Can't make decisions on what everyone else says. Drink what you want!

You don't believe in the "wisdom of crowds" I take it

Yea! Nutritional science be damned! Smoke crack too! Can't make decisions on what everyone else says after all.

Well, "healthy" and "unhealthy" aren't binary. Smokers are skinnier than non-smokers.

Also, taking nicotine doesn't seem to be bad. Putting smoke in your lungs on the other hand...

Nicotine is quite bad for your blood pressure.

So is salt but it’s worth it

Not being snarky - but do you have references for that? Most research I've seen either conflates nicotine and tobacco, or finds 'pure' nicotine (eg NRTs) have close to zero negative side effects.

I asked ChatGPT "Is moderate consumption of energy drinks unhealthy?" and the answer was no. Moderate consumption is defined as "For adults, moderate consumption is typically defined as no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is roughly equivalent to four cups of coffee or two 16-ounce cans of common energy drinks."

I drink them moderately so maybe the taurine is healthy for me at my age, although excessive consumption could be damaging. "There is evidence to suggest that excessive consumption of energy drinks can have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, including the potential for heart damage. Energy drinks typically contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

I'm under the impression that when people tell me they are unhealthy they are talking about stories of young people who damage their heart by drinking them constantly through out the day.

Are you... treating a language model as a doctor?

Why not? Everybody thinks it is God, anyways...

Or I could use WebMD. What's the difference?

Or you could just take a taurine supplement instead...

It's probably just caffeine.
