How not to damage your health with modern diets? Insights and tips from the late nutritionist Zigurds Zariņš

The energy surge produced by "power drinks" is caused by the stimulants added to the drink

Zigurds Zariņš: "There is reason to suspect that protein-containing 'power drinks' may contain stimulants. In Latvia, it is not possible to analyze these 'power drinks' for the presence of stimulants not listed in the beverage description. It is very likely that the 'surge of strength' sometimes observed is not from amino acids but is due to stimulants." ("Uztura mācība", p. 95)
