Energy index
Want to have to see the energy drink health indicators, that is, energy value, they generally come from the food protein, fat and carbohydrates (sugars). But in the beverage inside, basically do not contain protein and fat, so mainly to see their sugar, the higher the energy value, the higher sugar content. Whether carbonated drinks, tea drinks or fruit juice drinks, a look to see the basic indicators of a potential. For example, a bottle of tea to drink if the energy value of 184 kcal, according to the heat value of conversion, the equivalent of drinking a bottle of rice to eat twelve, had almost reached the human daily intake of one-tenth of the energy. Adequate daily dietary intake in the case of the higher drinking energy drinks, the more sugar intake, but also more likely to gain weight.
Tea: sugar really see
Many sports enthusiasts in a strenuous exercise, often choose to drink sports drinks. Advertising slogan has said: sugar and micronutrient supplementation. After strenuous exercise to know, not only the loss of water, even with some minerals will be excreted with the sweat, people feel tired.

But in the choice, be careful to have the best sports drink following four characteristics, namely, to add water; second is to contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals; third, with functional ingredients; four was a non-carbonated, no caffeine, no alcohol. And for those of acid reflux hyperacidity easy for people who, in the choice of sports drink, it is best to drink as little as possible with this type of citric acid, because they are more apt to cause acid reflux symptoms.
Juice beverages: sugar to monitor

Meanwhile, in order to make it better to drink fruit juice taste, adding sugar in which to reconcile. Like a certain brand of grape juice, per one hundred milliliters of 200 kJ of energy, and of 184 kJ of heat is equivalent to twelve rice conversion to count, estimate, after we finish, had to be put to a long-distance Jizou it is consumed.
Sports drinks: caffeine to no
As for tea this one, it is generally known as low-sugar or sugar-free. In accordance with internationally accepted concept, can not contain sugar and sugar-free foods from starch hydrolysates of sugar, including glucose, maltose, fructose, etc. However, it must contain the equivalent of sugar substitute commonly used sugar alcohols or oligosaccharides, which do not increase blood sugar sweetener varieties.

Sugar alcohols do not raise blood sugar has the advantages of low calorie, but should be controlled in the daily 20 grams, 10 grams or less children. Aspartame, also known as protein, sugar, are compounded product, the sweetness of sucrose from 50 to 200 times, so use very small. The synthetic sweeteners to include sodium cyclamate, acesulfame, saccharin, etc., they add in food quantity and scope of the national standard checks have not exceeded the human body would not have been perceived harm
