I had a look at the post and the post isn’t correct . The Australian Food Standards Code restricts the addition of caffeine to kola-type soft drinks, flavoured cordials and flavoured syrups. In these drinks, the total caffeine content must not exceed 145 mg/kg (36mg/250ml serve) in the drink as consumed. The Code does not prescribe limits for naturally occurring caffeine in food – for example, tea, coffee and guarana. The caffeine levels in these foods will not normally exceed 100 mg in a standard serving.

if the maximum caffeine is 145 mg per liter, then why does the leading one (i.e. Red Bull) of 250 ml contains 80 mg of caffeine? Should the most caffeine in a 250 ml serving be only 36.25 mg and not 80 mg, or is my math wrong?

thats actually incorrect the drink will be going on sale in Australia in November, however it will have a reduced 80mg of caffine per 250ml so the solution DRINK TWO CANS WOO YEAH BURN DOWN THIS CRSPPY GOVMENT AND DRINK TWO.

Many Energy drinks are full of crap, and they are typically unhealthy. But the fact is the growth and demand is increasing at nearly 50% per annum.

Americans alone drink 70 million cans a day!!

There are drinks out there that provide incredible natural energy kicks and are Healthy… For example. http://www.actenergyfluid.com.

It is growing at an incredible rate, uses all natural ingredients. I find it frustrating that energy drinks are all categorized the same way.

Just to note there is something wrong with that article because 145mg is not the legal limit in australia otherwise rockstar wouldnt be on the shelves because it has 151mg of caffeine in it

And to not not only did coke have cocaine in it when it first came out(in the 1800’s) so did most things back in those time’s and it was beccause of the plant which they made it from and it was only in there because the didnt have the quipment to take it out but now they do.

American parents are just so damn bored they got to protest everything. I’m sure there is something breaking someones freedom, in the USA, about trying to ban this drink. The only thing that should be allowed is stores can choose to sell it or not.

Parents these days just need something to blame bad parenting on. If they were there more for their kids, they would have less concerns that video games would cause them to kill people or getting ideas that smoking is cool or do a drug because a product they like is named after one.

Parents these days just need to start parenting more. Usually both parents work and never do anything with their kids. Then they use video games as a babysitter and then complain about violence, sex, drugs etc. They let their kids out of control and spoil them and what do they expect?
