You guys keep ingesting grams and grams of fake shite everyday that are banned in every other developed country and I will continue to do my thing. What is there to worry about? Right?

im not worried about anything. i commend you for eating completely clean and cutting out preservatives. Certainly they arent good for us. If you have your health, diet and training that dialed in that you have to cut out preservatives to reach goals....more power to you brother!!

My point was though that this is a case of majoring in the minors for 99.999999% of americans. I have fat fricks tell me everyday at work..."those energy drinks are gonna kill you" all while they walk around 35+ BMI shoveling chilli dogs from the vending machine down thier throat every day at lunch.

i think many times on this board we get way too caught up on what is optimal and forget that sometimes pratical is better and that little things like preservatives matter for health to about .001% of the population.

less than 10% of the population does ANY form of resistance training. 42% of america is obese, 50% of black americans are obese, nearly 50% of americans have high blood pressure, over 70% of america is either overweight or obese......so popping a zero calorie energy drink that will prolly cause them to eat less....prolly not an issue SO LONG as they can handle the caffeine content. monster only has little over 100mg which isnt much more than coffee, some though like bang and reign have 300mg which is more than most can handle.


point is, in the grand scheme, worrying about preservatives is big time big time majoring in the minors.
