Read between the Label
When you’re on the go nonstop, it’s easy to grab an energy drink to give you that pep to keep going. Many students find the nearest Starbucks on the corner to get a caffeine boost, while some grab a Monster energy drink or a 5 hour energy. With all the controversy surrounding Red Bull, mainly with athletics, I would suggest researching what the product entails.
A friend told me that Red Bull was actually Bull urine. He explained there is an ingredient in Red Bull called Taurine (sounding very similar to Toro, as in bull) that is extracted from an actual bull and used in Red Bull. He went on to confirm his argument saying, “Why do you think it’s yellow? It’s pee.”
Wikipedia says: Taurine is an organic acid. It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and in the tissues of many animals, including humans.
He continued to explain how bulls are full of testosterone, making them strong and energetic. That is why when you drink a Red Bull the boost you feel, or the “wings” as they like to call it is actually a dose of bull testosterone found in taurine. What makes this worse is that on the label it clearly states “With Taurine.” It is unfortunate that most of those who drink Red Bull are completely ignorant to what they are drinking.
