Athletes chug energy drinks like water. Gym-goers pop supplements like candy. Influencers sell powders promising superhuman strength, laser focus, and fat loss in days. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: we’re swallowing a multi-billion dollar lie — and it's killing people.
Energy drinks aren't just caffeine — they’re cocktails of stimulants, sugar, and sketchy additives with barely any regulation. Teen athletes have dropped dead after downing multiple cans. Yet they’re sold next to soda, marketed like a lifestyle essential. The FDA? Practically asleep at the wheel.
Supplements? Even worse. From pre-workouts to testosterone boosters, the shelves are lined with untested, unverified, and sometimes dangerous substances. You think because it’s in a tub with a ripped guy on the label, it’s safe? Wrong. Many contain hidden steroids, banned stimulants, or undisclosed ingredients. Your protein shake might be spiked — and you’d never know until your liver fails.
The industry is largely self-regulated. No FDA approval is required before products hit the market. That’s like letting drivers race without brakes — trust them to stop, they probably won’t.
So why the silence? Money. The supplement industry rakes in billions annually. Athletes are used as billboards. Health is sold as hype. And consumers? Left in the dark.
It's time to wake up. That "boost" might be your body screaming for help.
