This Is a DEADLY Combination
Caffeine and sugar are a powerful combination and not the best choice for sustained energy. Learn more and discover the lasting effects of energy drinks.

9:02 The effects of caffeine
10:35 How do I get more energy?
Find out why combining sugar and caffeine is not the best choice for chronic fatigue and why it might even make the problem worse.
Rockstar energy drinks contain 16 teaspoons of synthetic industrial sugar, which is terrible for your liver. Monster energy drinks contain 14 ½ teaspoons of sugar, and Nos energy drinks have 13 ½ teaspoons. All three of these energy drinks have more sugar than Coca-Cola, paired with 160 mg of caffeine.
Gatorade and Powerade also contain more sugar than Coca-Cola. Celsius energy drinks don't contain sugar, but contain sucralose, which causes similar damage in the body. They also contain a whopping 270 mg of caffeine!
Sugar combined with caffeine creates a ticking time bomb in the body. If you have low blood sugar, sugar will give you a temporary mental boost in energy, followed by a crash. Symptoms of low blood sugar include irritability, brain fog, weakness, and fatigue, but you wouldn’t have low blood sugar if you didn’t consume sugar in the first place.
Real energy in the body comes from the mitochondria in the form of ATP. The food you eat is converted into energy with the help of important cofactors such as B vitamins, CoQ10, magnesium, iron, sulfur, and lipoic acid. Sugar from energy drinks contains no cofactors, so you deplete your nutrient reserves when you consume them.
Caffeine doesn’t give you energy—it blocks the chemical compound that makes you sleepy. The problem with energy drinks is that they contain too much caffeine.
Too much caffeine increases adrenaline, which increases your heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiovascular stress. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it can cause dehydration. It can also cause adrenal fatigue and sleep problems over time.
The better solution is to correct the diet for sustained energy. Proper nutrition, electrolytes, and salt should give you plenty of energy.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains why caffeine and sugar are not the best combination for energy. I’ll see you in the next video.
Our family DO APPRECIATE what you have been doing for enlightening and educating people, Dr. BERG👍🏻👍🏻♥️THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏Since you speak kindly with such a great and articulate diction and speak slowly, we who are not native speakers can understand your lecture and videos👍🏻👍🏻 We appreciate it too ❤
Well said and I agree 💯
❤
Well said, mate! Our family also love and respect him and his huge efforts. He is one of the few world class top doctors who has GOOD conscience👍🏻👍🏻 Thank God✝️Thank Dr. Eric Berg💛
This is very important information. I’ve always regarded these drinks as incredibly harmful to your health but most people don’t have a clue. These latest videos on all these harmful foods is fantastic work.
So many people are addicted to those energy drinks and coffee. Sugar is equivalent to crack, I see why people are addicted.
Yes! Pray for us
@@789genie Coffee & Tea are Great, just don’t add sweetener. If you cut out the sugar in coffee you won’t miss it after a few weeks. In fact, sugar is so unpleasant to me in coffee or tea, I’ll immediately spit it out.
@@HearTheTrumpetsSound my sister says the same thing.
@@HearTheTrumpetsSound coffee has caffeine. Drink tea/herbs. Coffee is addictive like those energy drinks.
@@NandiNoFilter You’ve been misled, That is mainstream medias stance. However, 1-2 cups of coffee a day have been shown to reduce the chances of Alzheimer, heart disease, fight liver disease, lower chance of acquiring type 2 diabetes. These are qualities of coffee. Tea is good, you should drink a half gallon of tea a day, but coffee is essential.
It’s crazy how they can market a diet drink as being better for you than a regular drink but the amount of crap they add to it it’s actually worse for you.
Yes and what blows me away is people believe it! Like my sister…they told her fake sugar is what she should use because of being diabetic…and she to this day uses it 😔
They know most people can be lied to extremely easy. Plus they have lobbyists to really push their product and make laws to revolve around their product. It might be crazy, it might not be, but it should be illegal to lie or have *misleading information* tied to the product or service. Lobbying should be banned.
The bravest man on YouTube. Thank you Dr Berg.
Dr. John Campbell is a must watch too
hes one of a few actually…Dr Ekberg, Dr Jamnadas, Dr Lustig
I use Celtic salt for electrolytes..
instead of Gatorade now
I didn’t know, I was low on potassium
I put a little on my tongue, then drink water
Even the potassium, seems to cancel effects of sodium.
My blood pressure went from 135/87 to 126/79
Sometimes
120/80
I’m 65 ☺️
@@kathleenking47It does. Na raises it, K reduces it. But don’t go overboard.
God Bless Dr Berg and Keep him and his family safe.
I was watching a Vegan in San Diego talk about his hatred for salt. When he said, “bananas were the gods of potassium,” I gave his talk a swift thumbs down! Congratulations on not bending to the sugar industry with an ulterior motive, sir. Have a great day, people! 😎
Gods of potassium, what a lunatic phrase
The banana sugar conspiracy?
Jack Lalanne refused to consume caffeine saying it messed with your body and mind. I no longer drink coffee during work days. Feel way better
All of those lead causes: acne, skin breaks out, ingrown hair, insomnia, diabetes, stress, headaches, moody, liver issue and more. I drink my own matcha green tea with fresh fruit smoothie or plain hot drink with no sugar added, my skin has improve better.
Ive been drinking either 1 Celsius or 1 ghost energy drink everyday for the past 3 years and I literally don’t get any of those symptoms.
I also eat well, get 7 hours of sleep, do intermittent fasting and weightlift/ run
Wowow thank you for that post ,have you give up all sugar ? What changed on your skin did you see ? Thank you
I’m off coffee for now drinking coffee. If I have any it’s just a few sips and that’s it
Never drink green tea before you eat on an empty stomach. I suspect most tea does some type of damage too, not saying that about green tea, but look into it. Also, use whole tea, no single use bagged tea. If you use bag tea, don’t.
I used to drink energy drinks a lot, and you are correct. Skin issues.
I was having one bottle of cola, one energy drink and two-three expresso daily and was eating only carbs and sugar. This was for many years before I started healthy KETO and FASTING. I came off all that stuff changing my diet completely and have incredibly huge amount of energy. No way to give up KETO & FASTING. Thank you dr.Berg for helping to have a good health!❤
I quit sugar 6 days ago. Don’t miss it. 😊
Went on the Keto diet, and feel great
F YOUR DIET
Best move you have made for your health well done
Outstanding!
Keep up the flow. I’ve been KETO for 3 years now.
All my yearly bloodwork screenings come back perfect!
How were your withdrawals? Mine were horrible.
@douglassmith3016
Only the first day was a little hard, but not very much. It’s going really well, and I have already benefited great from it. My allergie asthma, and pollen allergies is not bothering me. I haven’t used my allergie medication for days 😊
These poisons nearly killed me. Ended up with a heart racing and palpitations. Thank the Lord i found Dr Bergs channel. I gave up these evils nearly 3 years ago. A few cups of good coffee is all i take now, and a Keto way of life. ❤. Thank you Dr. Eric for turning my life around. 😊
Sounds like it should be mass marketed.
Same. I hate those.
Those poisons are not designed only for you…
Exactly! The coffee has macro minerals, as well as natural form of caffeine.and probably only 35 mg per cup.I know of 3 people including myself that had the same thing happen to them.
Dearly beloved,I love Dr.Eric Berg’s videos too and I hope this good coffee is decaf or no less than two because then again,how much is a few?,did you come across his video about moringa too? A few of the seeds like three can be added to coconut milk,ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice checking the ingredients list,speaking of checking,did you check his video with bobby parish who if I remember correctly said on one occasion said he is a food scientist flav city I believe is the name of the channel, somehow now I realized I got unsubscribed from his page again,so I will go and resubscribe now so make sure they are simple ingredients in the pumpkin spice or make your own,a moderate amount of macadamia nuts,pecan nuts,a generous amount of pumpkin seeds,which contain digestive enzymes to help break down the Brazil nuts and macadamia- which by the way is packed with vitamins two to six the most especially if they are very small (Brazil nuts) which will depend on your testosterone and estrogen levels also which is good for reproductive health (conduct some research) if necessary talk to your AI ask questions or make a short statement – both females and males can use Brazil nuts,hope I was of good service to my fellow man(male or female),have a good day!
My granddaughters 10 oz “orange juice” had 47 grams of sugar. She weighs 47 pounds. This is unbelievable what big food is doing to America.
Fruit juice is loaded with sugar, and should be consumed in moderation with a complete meal.
You’re better off eating a serving of whole fruit instead.
Americans would be doing so much better with one simple rule, only drink water. Nothing else unless you want to add some lemon or something. Zero need for the rest of the crap people drink.
47 pounds hahaha 😅
@@carlossalazar4160 It was thrown entirely off the tracks by television… Up until then, kids could live without all the sweets, afterwards tho… This is a world of increasingly, ailing people… And it’s only getting worse…
I can’t even do it, because I gotta have a couple cups of coffee a day…
Guess we’re all gonna go from something… Moderation is the key I suppose… moderation
😕
I am done with the soda industry. The things I have seen people do with Coca-Cola is disgusting. I bought a sparkling water machine. Last week, it’s a little different, but I’m safe.
Thank you for keeping a real.😊😘🥳
I am sooooo very thankful that I quit all sodas 5 years ago, I also recently quit (cold~turkey) Coffee; now quitting coffee was hard, however after the 1st week, I started feeling better, there is way too much caffeine in coffee. Now that I’m clean from sodas and coffee; I’m never going back. Water 💦 is the best 🙏
Why did you quit cold turkey ?
Well done! 👏🏻🙌🏻
I quit smoking cigarettes 33 yrs ago. And soda 25 yrs ago. Cold turkey.
My friend started the day with an energy drink. He had a stoke at 42. Thank you Dr.
Did he survive?
@@MetaobserverRight wth 😂
I’m afraid this will happen to my friend, he drinks four or five of these a day.
@@danmaertens7872depends if he is taking the sugar free version or not
Did he take the Jaberoo? Thats the most likely cause!
Your videos should be compulsory in elementary and High School so kids know what not to drink, love you for the work you have been doing for the humanity, brave heart.
I am a truck driver, I deliver for Coke, it is unbelievable how many Monsters people drink daily.
Wait till you seen someone drinking the lough Ness monster. That will blow your mind
are you a monster?im just playing
are you a monster?im just playing
@@jessetheghost7843 as long as you don’t deliver Coke to monsters daily! 🤣
I quit sugar 2 years ago, I’m 60 years old and I feel like I did in my 20’s. It’s amazing!
I suggest looking into NAC and taurine supplementation if you haven’t already done so. cheers.
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
Dr berg has so much balls how is he not cancelled
He’s speaking truth!
Shhh
