Recent news has shown that pre-packaged energy drinks are unhealthy and deadly in some cases. Recent we saw deaths from the 5 Hour Monster Energy Drinks. The energy drinks were responsible for death, convulsions and spontaneous abortion. You do not have to put your life in danger.
According to Natural News, "Officials with the Food and Drug Administration say they've received reports of 13 deaths over the last four years where there was at least a causal link to the brand 5-Hour Energy, an energy shot that contains a potent amount of caffeine.
The New York Times said that the disclosure of the reports is the second time in weeks that filings by the agency cited deaths linked to energy drinks. In October, the FDA said it had received five reports involving fatalities that were linked to another popular energy drink, Monster Energy."
Even my father regularly took Ensure drinks to keep his energy levels up because the chemotherapy robbed him of being able to eat anything. He would regularly go to the kitchen sink and vomit everything. Some 20 years ago we did not know what we do now about healthy alternatives to cancer. So if you are experiencing cancer-related fatigue, try some of these recipes and see if you do not feel better naturally.
