Alderman Ed Burke from Chicago wants to put a ban on energy drinks in Chicago. The law would State "No person shall sell, give away, barter, exchange or otherwise furnish any energy drink," reads the language in his proposed ordinance. He not only wants to ban the sale but the distribution.

Now a lot of people are up in arms about this proposal. Many saying that there are more important issues to resolve then banning energy drinks. I don't think banning energy drinks is the answer. Educating people about what's in those drinks is. Those of us that take energy drinks are doing it for just that, to get the energy drinks we have lost. 5 Hour Energy advertises that if you get that sluggish feeling around 2:30 take their product "so you can get stuff done." Red Bull advertises "it gives you wings."

Most energy drinks contain Taurine. If you read the ingresidnts in energy drinks you will findas much as 2000mg of taurine in them, however there has been no evidence that it improves your energy or has any negative effect on your body.

Glucuronolactone. It has been suggested that it fights fatigue however no one is really sure if it does

Caffeine. One can may contain 3 times of what is a can of Coke. Caffeine acts as a stimulant, and it temporarily stops drowsiness and restores alertness.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B-3 is another ingredient however there isn't enough in a can of Red Bull to get the full effects of this vitamin. Perhaps Alderman Burke is concerned at the number of illnesses and deaths being reported as caused by energy drinks.

On November 16, 2012 the FDA has posted adverse event reports for two more energy drinks: 40 illnesses and five deaths linked to Monster Energy, and 13 illnesses and two lasting disabilities linked to Rockstar Energy. They have also reported 13 deaths in the last 4 years possibly caused by 5 Hour Energy.
