いわゆるエナジードリンク。実は自転車チームもサポートしてたりするんだけれど、どうも胡散臭さが漂うんだよな。最近エナジードリンクが関係あるんじゃないかと疑われているティーンの死亡例もあり、5-Hour Energyもその例にもれない。
According to records from the Food and Drug Administration, popular energy boosters like Monster and 5-Hour Energy have been involved in several serious illnesses in the past decade, including more than a few deaths.
5-Hour Energy Linked To 13 Deaths, 30 Life-Threatening Incidents Since 2008: FDA Reports
で、先日届いた自転車靴のパッケージにサンプルで入っていたのがこれ：
うーむ、こう書かれるとなんかますます怪しい。で、この10の理由というのが、
- Over 1.5 billion bottles sold
- Key ingredients are also available in everyday food
- Packed with B-vitamins and nutrients
- Contains about as much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee
- Bottled in the USA
- Compiles with the provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act as enforced by the FDA
- Has helped hard working people feel alert and energized for 8 years
- Zero sugar; zero herbal stimulants
- Four calories
- No artificial colors or dyes
ううう、ますます怪しい！どれも理由として弱すぎる。fine printには"These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA"とかあるし…。とりあえず放置かな。
