GBG, which stands for Guided by God, has released the first ever low glycemic energy drink that has FDA and FTC claims substantiation call “energy matrix”.

Your daily routine may include getting a cup of coffee at “Starbucks” or going in to a supermarket or service station to get a daily fix of caffeine. A couple of my favorites include a “white chocolate mocha” from Starbucks, which cost me easily over $3.00 per drink, and the other is “Rockstar Energy” drinks, which can be around $3-$4 per drink. The amazing thing is the sugar content in these highly tasty, yet possible deadly syrups.

The sugar content in “ROCKSTAR ENERGY” drinks will shock you!!

16oz can of original Rockstar Energy – 62 grams of sugar!!! That’s 14.5 teaspoons of sugar!!!
24oz can of original Rockstar Energy – 91 grams of sugar!!! That’s 21.6 teaspoons of sugar!!!

That’s insane people!!!
(4.2 grams = 1 teaspoon) according to about.com

Now on to Starbucks – White Chocolate Mocha’s
(I can sense your fear rising!!)

16oz Serving – 58 grams of sugar = 13.8 teaspoons of sugar
20oz Serving – 74 grams of sugar = 17.6 teaspoons of sugar

On to “ENERGY MATRIX” nutrition info:

Easy, just 2 grams of naturally processed sugars. (natural because this is the amount of natural sugars that come from the process of making the patented “PeachSweet” sweetener in the drink, which is obviously a byproduct of Peaches.) Energy Matrix is also “low glycemic”, which means it has little to no effect on blood sugar levels, while maintaining “FDA and FTC claim substantiation”. Try and get that result from drinking a Rockstar. Sure they make a “diet” version of the drink, but with new case studies showing links to cancer and other complications, then you are just trading one disease for another. (that is according to “cancer.gov” study of half a million people in 2006) By the way, any hyper linked subjects in this article are from confirmed sources, and not just wobbling gander on my part.

Now I am just as shocked as you are. If you are like me, then you will think ten times before making that next stop and the convenience store or Starbucks. No wonder America has such a problem with Diabetes!
