However, Anais had several health issues including a heart condition that should have warned her against consuming too much caffeine. The lawsuit her relatives filed has seemingly ended in a settlement of an undisclosed amount, but this wasn't the last time Monster faced legal charges.
Very few people will suffer extreme effects after only two cans, but note that this is not a product to binge on. However, Anais' death likely wasn't the only one who died from drinking Monster or at least where Monster played a role in hastening an untimely end.

I guess monster isn't for everybody There have also been studies linking sucralose to a higher risk of cancer with the mice. Of course, there are sugar-free versions of the classic Monster, but they are far from safe. Like sucralose, Ace-K is a calorie-free sweetener used in many diet products, including sugar-free versions of Red Bull, Rockstar, and Bang.
Similar to sucralose, Ace-K has been tested against mice. The research showed that Ace-K has been linked to cancer, thyroid issues, and changes in brain function.
Erythritol and Stevia are two natural sugar alternatives that can be used instead of the dangerous artificial sugars.
These sugar alternatives are generally found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that erythritol acts as an antioxidant, reducing blood vessel damage that has been caused by high blood sugar levels. Erythritol also will not cause your teeth to decay, unlike sugar and other artificial sweeteners. Stevia also makes for a great natural sugar substitute. Stevia has no calories and is x sweeter than sugar.
Studies have shown that stevia has the potential for treating diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Antioxidant compounds, including kaempferol, can be found in Stevia. Green Tea caffeine is a naturally sourced caffeine that your body metabolizes differently than coffee, meaning it will affect you differently. What could be THAT much different? The caffeine found in Green Tea sticks to the antioxidants in the tea.
This causes the caffeine to be absorbed slower by your body. As a result, you will not get the immediate caffeine rush you would with synthetic caffeine. Instead, your caffeine will slowly release over time, giving you more sustained energy.

According to the infographic, caffeine enters the bloodstream within 10 minutes of consuming an energy drink, triggering a rise in heart rate and blood pressure.
Over the next minutes, caffeine levels in the bloodstream peak. As a result, an individual will feel more alert and experience improved concentration. Stuart Farrimond told The Daily Mail. All of the caffeine is absorbed within minutes of consuming an energy drink, according to the infographic, and the liver responds to this by soaking up more sugar into the bloodstream. Within an hour, the effects of the caffeine will begin to subside and a sugar crash may occur. Energy levels will begin to feel low and tiredness will set in.
It takes an average of 12 hours for the body to completely remove the caffeine from the bloodstream, though this does depend on individual factors. Farrimond told The Daily Mail. This is why caffeinated drinks can cause behavioral problems and anxiety issues in children. The infographic claims that individuals who consume energy drinks regularly may experience caffeine withdrawal in the hours after consumption, which includes symptoms such as headache , irritability and constipation.
Farrimond explained that withdrawal symptoms can last up to 9 days and the severity depends on the amount of caffeine consumed. For regular energy drink consumers, it takes around days for the body to adapt to a regular intake of caffeine, according to the infographic.
An individual is unlikely to experience a boost from the beverages once their body gets used to them.
