Title: monster energy drink, lowering my immunity?
Post by: adarqui on January 21, 2011, 02:36:40 pm: i don't usually drink this garbage but, i have recently (and a few times in the past).. looking back on the past, i've noticed similar reactions.. it helps me get a little extra-amp'd but, my "immune system" seems to be effected.. for example:

- drank monster energy 2 weeks ago, got staph
- drank monster energy a few days ago, got sick

i honestly think that garbage has something to do with it..

bottom line, stick to instant coffee + protein shake mixes.

dno just babbling.

I started eating 5+ vegetables/fruits a day in my 3rd year and I've barely been sick since even when I eat like shit. That was 5 years ago. I'm tellllllllinggg you man.

damn.. ive only had the small ones, in the glass bottles.. those were always very good, i love those..

my favorite protein /coffee drink, other than custom, would have to be this 'bolthouse mocha / arabic coffee' drink, with whey protein.. it is AMAZINg.. so is the caramel one.. bolthouse is legit.

I had the mocha one and it tasted so fucking blaaaaand aswell. Starbucks drinks in the small bottles are legit tho...they taste real good.
