Swanson Health Products Defeats Fatigue without the Energy Drink Crash and Burn
Americans have long believed that working hard and suffering from constant exhaustion is a status symbol for being productive, and those that show up refreshed and ready to work Monday morning are lazy. This drive has created an endless cycle of overworked Americans and, according to the International Labor Organization, Americans work an average of nine more weeks a year than Western Europeans. This has contributed to the decline of health and the decline in family life in the United States.
To counteract with their lack of energy and feelings of fatigue, Americans are turning to "quick fixes" in energy drinks. Today, energy drink sales have skyrocketed to $3 billion annually and are expected to reach $10 billion by 2010 in the U.S. alone. The majority of mainstream energy drinks on the market are laden with calories and sugar with caffeine as the main ingredient-- lots and lots of caffeine. From a little over 100 mg to as much as 428 mg in 12 ounces, this compared with only 34-38 mg in Coca-Cola® and Pepsi®, the result has many people complaining of extreme caffeine buzzes followed by extreme crashes. These drinks have also been linked to reports of health problems, specifically abnormal heart rhythms. The bottom-line: the quick fix isn't working.
