If you’re pounding back energy drinks on the regular, the type of sugar they use should be the least of your concerns.

This is a common joke but I genuinely tried to find a link between energy drinks and kidney stones on google scholar and could just go as far as soda and acidic drinks being maybe a little worse.

Honestly, I’d be more worried about the metabolic accelerant effects, as well as the dehydration and the gastrointestinal irritation (the laxative effect isn’t because it’s a good solvent:)) ).

Kidney stones are definitely linked to dehydration and so are excess sugar and caffeine.

We’re all fucked. Whether it’s sugary or sugar-free, if your brain likes it it’s probably bad for you.

not true. There’s plenty my brain likes that’s good for you. For example: cardio, sushi, coffee, sex, anchovies, tabbouleh, whitefish salad, bagels, and blankets. As always, all good things in moderation.

Sounds like you haven’t tried enough shit. If you don’t like something healthy just eat it again. If you eat something enough times you will eventually like it. Not liking healthy food is for the weak minded.

I mostly drink water and generally love me a good tall glass of ice cold water. Does that mean my water habit will kill me at some point?

Ma’am, that is a 33 cl mixture of gas station sludge. It has no syrup, leaves, or apple juice. It is an amalgamation of the industrial output of several laboratories, distilled, mixed, powdered, re-liquefied, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy water chalice. God had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this terrible liquid exists proves that God is either impotent to alter His universe or ignorant to the horrors taking place in his kingdom. This prism of water is more than gas station sludge. It is a physical declaration of mankind’s contempt for the natural order. It is hubris manifest.
We also have a higher glucose variety if you would prefer that.
