checked the isde of my can and sure enuff it was in there, this doesnt sound like a hoax to me, just another chemical to worry about.
RedBull Additive Warning.
Ever wondered what's in a can of Redbull Energy drink?
The small print lists a host of ingredients and among them is
Glucuronolactone, an artificially manufactured stimulant developed in
the
early 60's by the American Government.
Glucuronolactone was first used in the Vietnam conflict to boost morale
amongst GI's who were suffering from stress and fatigue, but was banned
after a few years following several deaths and hundreds of cases
involving
anything from severe migraines to brain tumors in personnel prescribed
the
stimulant.
That was in 1973 and Glucuronolactone is still banned for commercial
consumption in America to this day. The bad news is that the substance
never found it's way to Europe in the early days and was therefore never
banned by the EU community.
An article in this months edition of the British Medical Journal has
highlighted a growing number of cases reported by Doctors and Surgeons
involving the very same side effects from the 70's. All of the patients
examined were regular drinkers of RedBull and it is believed that the
safety of Glucuronolactone is currently under review in at least three
major European countries.
Please pass this on to any RedBull drinkers you know, and next time you
get
a headache after drinking the stuff, you'll know why!
 
I got this same thing in an email a week ago.. think logically about it though..
Where is redbull sold? I'm 100%sure it's sold in the USA, along in the EU countries as well.. you have to ask how this drink can be sold if it contains a banned substance?
It's just bullshit.. if somethings banned nothing i mean nothing with it can be sold commercially..
 
Thats what I would've thought also Cosmic, but.... (dun dun dunnnnnn) It actually originates from Austria! So it could be possible?!? maybe?
 
Ive heard that aparently someone has died after drinking the drink 'V'... similar to RedBull.
But we dont see that headlining to Newspapers do we?! because its legal!
-dragon-
 
Cosmic Seadog, I think you'll find tat you're worng. This subject came up a while ago on the main board and the drink IS actually banned in the US.
Of course it's sold in EU countries..the substance hasn't been banned there!
"The bad news is that the substance never found it's way to Europe in the early days and was therefore never banned by the EU community."
I'm surprised that you can be 100% sure, when you're almost certainly 100% wrong.
I was surprised when I found out that redbull was banned in the States, when the topic came up, no-one explained why it was banned, just the fact that it was. Now I understand.

Please excuse my typos...I couldn't edit because I'm at uni and this computer is fucked

Check this out! I just found out that the release of Redbull in Australia was not permitted. Redbull had to slightly change the ingredients in order for it to be leagal here.
 
Let me rephrase...umm..it's illegal in California. I apologise Cosmic Seadog, I should have checked my facts, just like I told you to do

We're both half right and half wrong.
 
since posting this im a bit skeptical. seems the chemical is actually naturally occuring in the liver but im not sure what pumping extra into your body does. V, white shark and most energy drinks also contain the chemical. I did find it on a dangerous substance list in america on the net but no explination. Maybe someone could enlighten us.
 
I don't know who's right and wrong, but I do know that the "smart"/energy drink market is booming at the moment and it is not unheard of for business rivals to spread mis-information about each other!
 
DRAGON: i was told that exact same thing, apparently some chick drank too much of the 'V' drink and fucking died! I also got told that on the actual 'V' drink label, it states that there is a limit to 3 drinks a day of 'V'. Im gonna get one later on in the dy and check it out.
FUCK! Next thing you know there'll be bloody heroin in our tap water! *syke* :P

Mr.Klownz.
 
For Redbull in Cali. I just came back from there, and I could get Redbull in shops nightclubs etc.
Just thought I would that after seeing the earlier posts.
 
Fark !!! 3 per day, I've already had 4 and it only just past lunch !!!!!
suddenly I don't feel so good

send...... help arrghh......
 
Look if you want to stay awake without taking the e-legals, then try some are all of the following. Please note, I will not be held resposible for you actually staying awake all nite though.
1> XLR8 drinks - how do you think I got my name! Drink 4-6 starting before 6pm and I guarantee you will NOT be able to sleep before 2am. Note that XLR8's are quite harsh on your stomach, so don't scull, plus you need to burp them like beer. Best after a meal. Remember that they are alcoholic & even though you won't feel drunk/tipsy, you should not drive after a couple.
2> Guarana tablets like VIG - available from Woolies
3> Mega B vitamin tablets again available from Woolies.
4> Amino or "smart" drinks/powders can also help.
O.k. none of what I have described will make you rush like you've just snorted a half weight in one go (bugger that!) BUT if you try what I have suggested, that should at least help you to stay off the "persian rugs"! I find that after drinking xlr8's and or taking guarana tablets that having a choof increases the buzz you get 10X!

aaahh this stuff makes me larf..
1. this has all the tell tale signs of an urban myth... drug used on soldiers in vietnam? ok might be true but sounds like an urban myth to me...
2. grrl who died from v? love to see a reference kids...
3. changed formula for australia? probably only to do with the legal amount of caffeine, a few drinks have had to had their levels dropped to get into oz, Jolt being one.
4. are you guys seriously worried about this? i mean how many of you have recently put up there noses amphetemines made in bathtubs in mordialloc by hairy bikers... lemme see a show of hands...
and who do you think makes your pills? the fucking Ponds Institute?
bahahahahahaah! MDMA, our poison of choice, kills brain cells and makes you lose your memory and we are worried about a soft drink? LMAO

Red Bull always makes me feel like shit and I don't drink it anymore as a consequence, I would rather nail a few strong coffees.
On the death of the chick drinking 'V'..dunno if it was V can't remember but it was something similar....they had this story on triple j last year. Apparently she could not tolerate caffeine and a number of other substances but drank it anyway....I am sure she had her reasons!!!
Back to the red bull again....it is definetly different in other countries...in Thailand it is sold in small bottles and is like cough syrup....but has more of a kick!
In UK Red Bull and Voddy seems the new standard drink...I got pissed on it whilst there and it was a bizarre feeling getting home at 6 am wide awake but not being able to co-ordinate any bodily movements....had to crawl up the stairs which took me nearly 20 minutes!! Felt like fucking shit for the next week worse than any e comedown etc etc.

go johnboy! you have a point there, we're worried about a softdrink...that sounds weird!
Also...how can anyone drink Redbulls? ive had 1/2 of one, couldnt drink the whole thing because it was the foulest tasting thing id ever had, and proceeded to get myself some jolt cola to wash it down! (pity Triple Jolt is illegal in AU...would make for a very buzzy night's partying!)
Think about whats in your pills and whizz, because a bit of softdrink wont hurt too much if you drink it in moderation *the same goes for the pills and whizz btw

yup, everything in moderation... remember more people die from asprin every year than MDMA

everyone thinks i'm a freak coz i like the taste of red bull and v... oh well each to their own...
if anyone really wants triple jolt just crush up a few no-doze in it... can you still get them? i remember buying some in some dodgy truck stop in northern nsw a few years back... evil shit they are

Look, redbull is sold here in Singapore. Even the dodgy Thai imitations. I mean, sg is like your parents when it comes to illicit substances. We don't even have jolt here!
And like jb said..worried abt a soft drink?
Yeah, we don't mind putting strange chemicals made in backyard labs but no siree,no glucodoodledoo in my soft drink please.
