Question

should the use of energy drinks be regulated please include citation

Answer 1

Ans) The industry is concerned that the FDA could regulate the amount of caffeine in an energy drink.

- Soft drinks for example, are allowed no more than 72 milligrams per serving. It is believed that energy drinks should be regulated in the same way that soft drinks are.

- These drinks include NOS, Full Throttle, Red Bull, Amp and 5-hour Energy drink. The FDA limits caffeine levels in beverages to about 70 milligrams per 12-ounce soda. But energy drinks fall into another category—food supplements—and are not regulated the same way.
