I'm posting this bulletin about Red Bull because I found it interesting. I didn't write the article, only pasted it here per the writer's suggestion.
Red Bull Drink = Slow Death?
From Helmi
10-12-9
France & Denmark have banned it from the country...
RED BULL - slow death ...
Do NOT drink this drink anymore!
Pay attention...read everything...
As a public health safety, please pass on this email to all the contacts in your address book especially those with teenage children.
This drink is SOLD in all the supermarkets IN OUR country and our children ARE CONSUMING IT ON A TRIAL BASIS. IT can be FATAL.
RED BULL was created to stimulate the brains in people who are subjected to great physical force and in stress coma and never to be consumed like an innocent drink or soda pop.
RED BULL IS the energizer DRINK that is commercialized world-wide with its slogan: "It increases endurance, awakens the concentration capacity and the speed of reaction, offers more energy and improves the mood. All this can be found in a can of RED BULL, the power drink of the millennium."
RED BULL has managed to arrive in almost 100 countries worldwide. The RED BULL logo is targeted at young people and sportsmen, two attractive segments that have been captivated by the stimulus that the drink provides.
It was created by Dietrich Mateschitz, an industrialist of Austrian origin who discovered the drink by chance. It happened during a business trip to Hong Kong , when he was working at a factory that manufactured toothbrushes.
The liquid, based on a formula that contained caffeine and taurine, caused a rage in that country. Imagine the grand success of this drink in Europe where the product still did not exist, besides it was a superb opportunity to become an entrepreneur.
BUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS DRINK IS ANOTHER THING
FRANCE and DENMARK have just prohibited it as a cocktail of death, due to its vitamin components mixed with GLUCURONOLACTONE ' - a highly-dangerous chemical, which was developed by the United States Department of Defense during the sixties to stimulate the moral of the troops based in VIETNAM, which acted like a hallucinogenic drug that calmed the stress of the war.
But their effects in the organism were so devastating, that it was discontinued, because of the high index of cases of migraines, cerebral tumors and diseases of the liver that was evident in the soldiers who consumed it.
And in spite of it, in the can of RED BULL you can still find as one of its components: GLUCURONOLACTONE, categorized medically as a stimulant. But what it does not say on the can of RED BULL are the consequences of its consumption, and that has forced a series of WARNINGS...
1. It is dangerous to take it if you do not engage in physical exercise afterwards, since its energizing function accelerates the heart rate and can cause a sudden attack.
2. You run the risk of undergoing a cerebral hemorrhage, because RED BULL contains components that dilute the blood so that the heart utilizes less energy to pump the blood, and thus be able to deliver physical force with less effort being exerted.
3. It is prohibited to mix RED BULL with alcohol, because the mixture turns the drink into a " Deadly Bomb " that attacks the liver directly, causing the affected area never to regenerate anymore.
4. One of the main components of RED BULL is the B12 vitamin, used in medicine to recover patients who are in a coma ; from here the hypertension and the state of excitement which is experienced after taking it, as if you were in a drunken state.
5. The regular consumption of RED BULL triggers off symptoms in the form of a series of irreversible nervous and neuronal diseases.
CONCLUSION: It is a drink that should be prohibited in the entire world as when it is mixed with alcohol it creates a TIME BOMB for the human body, mainly in innocent adolescents and young adults with little experience drinking alcohol. Forward this mail to Everyone and Let them know about this..
Here is an update regarding France's ban:

No, the report was paid for by the makers of Monster the damage the market share for Red Bull.

What is this? Dig up an Urban Legend day?
"It has received some notoriety due to urban legends that it was a Vietnam War-era drug manufactured by the American government. The rumor goes on to say that it was banned due to several brain tumor-related deaths. The rumor has since been proven false, as neither the cited British Medical Journal article nor the "banning of its consumption" ever occurred. Furthermore, no warnings appear on the Food and Drug Administration website regarding its potential to cause brain tumors or other maladies.[2]"

Snopes: by Shills (it's called damage-control). Actually there are some "interesting" articles on Snopes, but Snopes' articles typically run the gamut of responses about information they would rather you never heard about to begin with. Like the article "response" they wrote AFTER it came out that Disney uses sex subliminals in its Toons/Movies.
 Cartoony-licious!

It took me 15 seconds to find where to buy Red Bull in France and Denmark,so That's Bullshit
GLUCURONOLACTONE isn't a "Dangerous Chemical" so that's
Bullshit
Taurine is a naturaly occuring amino acid and not
a ""Dangerous Chemical" so more Bullshit
For the record I've never had a Red Bull because it smells like shit.. |

Here is an article on the web about Red Bull. If the ban has been lifted, I'm not aware of it since I don't live in either of these locations, but at least this article seems legit:

It may be interesting what you have posted OP. I didn't read it though. Mostly because I have been drinking Red Bull and similar energy drinks for many years. I can get quite addicted to the taste and the buzz I get from them. I will say this to you, and that is I know my limit - I know my own body. And, it tells me when to stop, not my mind. Same with alcohol - and I know that not everyone has as much self control. Appreciate the concern. |

Here is a more up-to-date article regarding France's ban on the energy drink, which has now been lifted after 12 years!
Whatever it is that caused them to impose the ban, I sure wouldn't want to find out the hard way:

Double Vodka and RedBull is my staple diet when i go on a night out. Effects - you are more drunk than you think you are, and you have a wierd hangover lol.
Seriously - 10 years on the stuff and still ticking.
Red Bull onits own is a good 'long driving in the morning' drink too.
Here in the UK its common. |

I be more worried about the SUCRALOSE aka SPPLENDA used in most of these drinks.
They don't brag about it though like diet sodas show that SPLENDA in the circle on the front of their cans.
You only know if you read the ingredients,
the only 2 energy drink that I know of thst DON'T contain SPLENDA (aka sucralose) are Rockstar and Red Bull. |

Wow. Thanks for sharing that bit of information. Some drinkers of Red Bull who may not be experiencing adverse side effects NOW should consider that whatever is in that drink could cause side effects thatmight be experienced after a little while of usage, while some may experience side effects much sooner.
I for one have never tried the stuff and don't intend to. And the fact that France banned the drink for over twelve years, and only RELUCTANTLY lifted the ban recently in 2008, after some prodding from the EU, is a red flag...
