Caffeine = creates an artificial energy
Coffee and Tea are whole foods and may/can be healthy
But the addiction - not so much
Isolated Caffeine are really like robbing Peter to pay Paul
You are stimulating your adrenals to produce hormones like adreneline- you are ultimately robbing that bank account - can end up with adrenal fatigue.
"Energy Stimulants give you the benefit now at the expense of your future health." - Jordan Rubin
Borrowed Energy Concept
2 Issues with Energy Drinks/Shots
1. Isolated Synthetic Caffeine - this is essentially a drug to stimulate the central nervous system
2. Added to it - sugar (form of High Fructose Corn Syrup/ Artificial Sweeteners) -
Zero Calories promote these dangerous artificial sweeteners
Chemicals: Artificial Sweeteners + Caffeine
Multiple Reported Deaths from these Energy Drinks
Despite that you cannot go anywhere without seeing ads for them!
These are being sold to the tens of millions of bottles weekly - and that's one single brand!
Dare: Type "energy drinks and kids" on Google Search.
Someone has to stand up and say, "Enough is enough!"
One thing for adults to be addicted, but for kids......???
Jordan also sees these results as a football coach of 7-9 year olds and many times saw children consuming expresso type energy drinks, caffeine strips (being used for children with focus and attention issues)..... 200mg of caffeine in young children!
Deaths are horrible.
Long term effects of this adrenal burn out of our children is going to result in 40-60 year olds completely defficient in their endocrine system and most likely will be diagnosed with multiple hormonal and autoimmune diseases.
This information is not deterring folks from abusing these energy drinks that are caffeinated.
Jordan's opinion:
Caffenated coffee is better because that is how it was created... but 6 cups of coffee a day is abuse.
Coffee is the most widely abused beverage.
Many people don't realize they are addicted on a chemical level - until they step away from it and feel so bad on the first day.
There is hope!
While caffeine may be the straightest line to get you energy; there are other compounds that can give you energy and provide addition over subtraction.
If you are over toxic - could you liberate your body's energy stores by eliminating the things making you toxic.
Fasting, or Detoxing will be a challenge upfront but you will ultimately experience your own body's energy.
Your body will scream at you for the chemicals when you are addicted.
You are trying to get something out of your body that will not function without the stimulation - but once you break through that first day or two, you will have a renewed sense of freedom.
However, Jordan believes there is a better way to get the best of both worlds.
Ancient Exlixer
You get addition by addition and addition by subtraction all in one product.
KOMBUCHA
Kombucha's popularity has exploded in the last 5 years. It is the #1 selling beverage category in health food stores - hundreds of millions of dollars.

A Fermented beverage where you take black tea, sugar, and symbiotic cultures (aerobic and anareobic organisms/probiotics) and you allow time and temperature to take over. In 7-14-30 days, you end up with a sour/sweet/effervescent/pungent beverage.
15 years ago it was popular. Liver health and detoxification benefits.
