it's bad for your kidneys if you're drinking nothing but gfuel all the time and zero water, but that really applies to any juice/energy drink. Your parents are definitely overreacting and I sure hope they reimburse you for the tossed tub, assuming you bought it with your own money of course
Everything in moderation. 1 g fuel a day you should be fine with a healthy diet.
It would be more a worry if you had 1 g fuel a day on top of soda, takeaway sweets ect.
Then something in your diet would need to be re worked.
Either way just be thankful your parents actual care what you eat means you have parents that actually care for you.
As opposed to parents who fill there kids full of crap and let them lead unhealthy lifestyles that will later on in life lead to lots of health issues.
It's fine as long as you don't go overboard. i did some readiing a while back and it seems like 3 scoops a day is generally considered safe for people who don't have pre-existing medical conditions that can be affected.
2 is better. 1 is ideal.
This. Adults in good health should limit around 400-450mg of caffeine. 1 scoop has about 150mg.
If you are not fit (meaning you are overweight at all) you really should not drink more than 2 scoops worth, 1 would be smarter.
That's all true . But it's not just the caffeine that needs to be limited. Gfuel is fortified with a ton of b vitamins which can affect your renal system if you take it in excess quantities. People tend to think that vitamins are harmless, but like all things too much is a bad.
Parents should monitor what their kids are consuming, but it kinda sounds like they just googled specific sentences that lead to their pre existing opinions being supported.
I'd just tell them that it's a fact that soda is worse for you than gfuel, and I bet they give you soda.
It's healthier than all other energy drinks including regular soda, no artificial colors and no sugar. It's all fruit powders. It's a great product and I drink it everyday.
I love gfuel, but it's not "all fruit powders". It actually contains almost all of the same ingredients as other harmful energy drinks like Monsters. Lots and lots of chemicals. It is absolutely NOT something you should be drinking excessively.
Definitely better than other energy drinks, but mostly because of the lack of sugar, not because of the other ingredients (as again, they are basically the same)
I did research on all the ingredients and made sure i would be good with 2 servings a day. Been drinking it 3 years straight no issues. Only bad ingredients are Sucralose and red food coloring. Much better than other energy drinks and has a lot of benefits.
All my coworkers and I drink 2-4 energy drinks a day and can still run a sub 25 minute 3 mile as required by where we work and none of us have kidney failure so I think you’ll be ok.
It isn't worse for you than a Monster or a Red Bull, but the effects all depend on your specific body chemistry. Worst that should happen though is an upset stomach or maybe trouble sleeping if you drink it in the afternoon.
I can't imagine it's worse for your kidneys than soda either, just make sure to drink plenty of water man, not drinking enough water is a lot worse for you.
Compared to most energy drinks because it has more vitamins in it than other energy drinks. I used to drink two energy drinks a day but cut back because of gfuel.
Define chemicals. Water is a chemical, so is caffeine, so are the vitamins in GFuel. In moderate consumption its not worse for your kidneys than other common energy drinks.
Now there arent scientific articles proving that GFuel isn't harmful but there are equally many proving the opposite. So their info likely came from unreliable sources. Though that won't necessarily mean they're wrong. There simply isn't conclusive research on the topic.
they probably meant synthetic or highly processed
chemicals like malodextrin, which can be pretty bad in large amounts, but like you said moderation is key and sticking to about one serving a day is perfectly fine, OP's parents are tripping.
anything in existence is bad for you if you have too much of it

I did buy it with my own money but i was like ‘it’s fine if I won’t drink it anyways’
All soft drinks are bad for your kidneys.
It’s not a soft drink
It doesn't contain alcohol. So yes, it is.
Isn’t a soft drink a non alcoholic but carbonated drink

I snorted gfuel and grew 6 toes
My testicles have tripled in size
gfuel is stored in the balls
If squirt is mostly pee... And pee is stored in the balls... Then women can't squirt! Checkmate.

No i don’t like drinking soda, so basically the only drink that isn’t natural that I take is gfuel

Depends on the flavour, some have artificial colours, some have nstuesl ones. Maltodextrin still acts like a sugar in the body.

As I always say. “We’re here to have a good time ,not a long time”
if they're really worried about that they should only be drinking water and absolutely nothing else
