Energy drinks usually contain inexpensive synthetic minerals and vitamins and synthetic chemicals. In addition, they contain a number of energy blends like taurine, herbs and caffeine. The herbs should not cause major health problems, but some herbs may have strange adverse effects when mixed with some other chemicals.

The minerals and vitamins found in most energy drinks are cheaply made and artificial. Artificial minerals and vitamins are more stable than their natural variation, that is the reason why manufacturers like to use these.

Energy drinks normally contain lots of water soluble vitamins, like B vitamins and vitamin C. Water soluble vitamins dissolve rapidly in liquid; therefore, it is useless to add them to products. For that reason, whenever you consume energy drinks you're basically consuming a drink that's full of empty calories.

Stop drinking flavoured coffee. Along with flavouring agents, these contain emulsifiers, preservatives and solvents that are harmful for the body. Diet soda is equally bad as it has huge amounts of sugar and the sugar-free ones are even more harmful as these contain sugar substitutes.

Avoid drinking sweetened non-dairy milk like nut milks as these are high in sugar content. Go for the unsweetened ones. Also avoid drinking bottled smoothies and fruit juices as these contain high levels of sugar.
