I love it that you guys are real, " I need chips or chicken wings to go along with the energy drink". LoL 😂😆
Yes Dr Z needed something to help choke that drink down
I work in a prison, my pressure is going down. I don't let to much bother me.
Question having a IVG PANZYQA ?
@@joniellis7553 you should get that checked with your PCP.
Absolutely LOVE your intro, with the music and warning we are about to listen to two cutie pie youngsters who are Doctors giving sage advice!!
I come from the generation of TAB and learned all sodas and energy drinks (RedBull) are POISION!
I had great difficulty kicking the diet coke aspartame habit, it was so addictive, but after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease was I able to stop drinking sodas. Today I drink 1 cuppa tea each day and water! You BOYS ARE ADORABLE!!!
Thank you so much and congrats on your healthy choice!!
Dr Brad's neck is pink his vessels are dilated!😂 Poor Dr Z, he is struggling! I am on a beta blocker pulse runs for me 60-64. Drank one energy drink and the pulse went to 118!! Thought a train was coming out of my chest. No thanks. I will say, I cleaned the house until it was squeaky clean!😂😂😂👋👋👋
Very nice Denise!
I am on a beta blocker also. People don't understand how it affects your performance. Thanks for sharing 😊
Qualified study or not, interesting. Good content guys, and as always I get a laugh!
That’s part of our goal!
We need to get these Docs to 1 mil ASAP! They are awesome!!
Thanks Mel. We need that help!
You guys looked like me when having your BP taken as your/my facial expression(s) appear to be trying to "will" the pressures down! LOL! 🤣
Yes both of ours were higher than normal.
I love you guys! You make “healthy” fun to investigate. My kid did a science project like this years ago testing adults vs. kids playing intense video games. This sounds like an even better science project. Thanks for the test - I only drink two 8 oz. cups of coffee a day- made at home - never tried an energy drink. Have a great week!
You too Laura!
You both are cute and I enjoy your channel. Wish my doc was as fun! 😆🌞
Thanks so much Cindy!
I don't' think they are designed to be shotgun down at once, so interesting seeing you drink it all in one setting. I keep a container of G-Fuel (fruit punch flavor) at work and if I'm struggling to focus or feel sleepy, just a finger-nails size portion with water perks me up. Doing the whole scoop makes me ill and waaaayyy over energized, like a fly buzzing around a bar-b-que.
Yes same
Hey guys,,, this was very interesting for sure. Here is a question,, wouldn't a good ole "Mars" bar get the same results as the chocolate has caffeine and sugar ?????
At least the Mars bar is good! Better yet, a Snickers.
Hi Howie. So the sugar does have an effect but different than caffeine as far as blood pressure and heart rate. And yes tastes better
your blood pressure is up, because of the caffeine. Your heart rate is down because it has Citrulline Malate which is Nitric Oxide, a Vaso dilater. I was surprised to, because that's what's in my pre-workout for when I lift weights it allows a greater pump by allowing more blood flow and relaxing your veins to allow more oxygen and blood flow.
Oh my goodness 😮😃🤣 that's so odd both your heart rates went down 😏 and yes I have a friend who has white coat syndrome
Her BP shoots up high 😳
Yup Tory. It happened
Even more reason not to try an energy drink! Btw I like your personal green surgical caps.
You guys are a stitch! I am so glad I found you two and your informative videos. Have recommended these to family and friends! Keep up with these videos. Your patients are lucky to have the 2 of you. A lot of buzz about how many steps in a day a person should get in. Does it vary by age?
Hi Sharon. So there is no real magic number but somehow it seems to have landed on 10,000. The bottom line is get as many as you can. Be as active as you can. Find something you like and that makes you happy. It’s that simple! Thanks for the positive feedback.
@@TalkingWithDocs I average about 2.5 feet a step. That's 25,000 feet or nearly 5 miles for 10,000 steps. At 4 miles an hour (the high average for people according to Google) that's around 1 1/2 hours a day walking. That's just not reasonable. I know several people who walk but none that walk that much. That's not even mentioning the time to change shoes or whatever else you do to get ready. I have read several times that the 10,000 step number came from some PR department in a company shilling a walking meter or some such thing. Let's just stop that number now. It's silly and just gives people a reason not to begin ... or believe anything you say. (OH, I do like you guys. Just work on this one!) EDIT; Here's a quick Google "Walking for 30 MINUTES a day or more on most days of the week is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health"
But most people wouldn’t chug it typically you would drink it over like 30 or 40 min while gaming
You guys are so adorable.not only you give good medical Advise and with good sense of humor too. I live in the U S of A and i have a terrible white coat syndrome, if all doctors in Canada are like you guys , i better move there. God bless
Come on up Lerma!
So, which lucky patient had their surgery that day? With Dr Zalzal a non coffee drinker hyped on energy drink!! ha ha ha
Nice low heart beats guys...must be in good shape. Love the great ideas, you come up with for videos.
Thanks so much hex
I feel so bad… this brings back memories of a friend that was found dead at her parents house in a rocker.. apparently an unknown heart problem was triggered by energy drinks. She left a husband and a young daughter. Sad.
I hope her family looked into some class actions against the drinks. Monster I know had class actions against them.
Oh my Jim that’s awful. That was one of the reasons we did it to help people realize they are not benign. So sorry to hear this
Dr. Weening, step away from the energy drink. You talked faster and seemed more jittery. Dr. Zalzal, you seemed more serious.
Those things must alter other things, besides BP.
Yes not good for either of us!
Can’t pain also raise your blood pressure? Mine is always high but I do take blood pressure medicine. I think you two are so funny and love your videos 👍🏻💓
For sure Cheryl it can. So glad to hear you are enjoying our channel!
OMG y'all are awesome... Will obviously throw yourselves on the sword for us 🥰🗡️ 🥰... But plz don't do this again!! I agree... Bad bad bad!!
Yes not for us but glad to oblige!
A vid aboot energy drinks 🤔 Going above and beyond for the subscribers! Canadians call soda “pop”?
Both of you tested your baseline vitals with the seriousness of suspects showing up for a polygraph exam.
The two of you are hilarious!
Dr. Zalzal nerds out describing random trials. I can’t speak for everyone but this channel makes my day.
(Chicken wings).
The Brits call it pop as well! 🥤
Hi RT. We are what you did there sneaking in chicken wings. Yes we were really trying to lower our blood pressure but we were too excited about it! Thanks so much for watching
Wow Dr. Brad really guzzled that down I thought I saw him in the animal house movie . The is a good idea very interesting on the out come. I don't drink them just coffee in the morning one 20 oz. cup . you all have a good evening .
Ha Kubota. We prefer Frank the Tank from Old School. Coffee is a great choice
I drank one once, after a couple hours I felt weird and my blood pressure went way up! Top number was in the 180's. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and ended up in the hospital. They told me people end up in the hospital after drinking these all the time. But at least I had a good work up while there LOL
Yes they can be dangerous if too many for sure
I myself am weak to caffeine in which G FUEL does have the hydration one without caffeine looking at the label it does have Sucralos ain't that a big contributor to diabete's.
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener which does have some negative aspects to it but does not increase your risk of diabetes
one almost killed my brother in law
Yes Larry they have potential to be very dangerous
One night - years ago (early 90s) - my friends and I got into a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans (at the time, I didn't drink coffee). I'd eaten so many of these things I thought I was going to vibrate through the wall. As for energy drinks, I gave up after trying Jolt Cola (whose tagline was: All the sugar and twice the caffeine).
As for coffee, head into Toronto and get an espresso from Fahrenheit. It'll change your life.
Remember: modesty is for quitters. ;)

Nice Jason.
I believe you docs did an important study! Great job!
We think so too!
Perez Linda Rodriguez Melissa Thompson Jessica
Thanks for watching
I drink 1/2 of one before work and the other half, half way during my shift. Sometimes I can tell a difference sometimes I can't.
Sounds about right
So interesting. I don't use fruit juice or any sugar drinks. But I love coffee. Love. It. If it kills me, I'd just like to say goodbye.
Hi Mike. Pretty good evidence that coffee has health benefits. You’re good to go!
“Too sweet for me 😀”(chugged the whole thing in seconds lol)
This is the most hyper we've seen Brad yet. Did you clean your office after that? LoL
Ha. No but we were a little jacked up for a bit
Your results are what I’d expect. Your hearts are now working a little harder, pumping more blood, slightly larger. So naturally your heart rate dropped. Why am I telling doctors?
Hi David. Often with stimulants both will go up. The heart rate went down likely because the baseline reading was artificially high because we were excited about the video!
Don’t believe any of those drinks at al I don’t like even juice always 100 lb of sugar. What’s wrong with people thinking if drink energy drink would give them more energy . Makes me sick even to see them drinking it . I love my fruits and vegetables and make juice of them other wise ,others to me is just junks
Yes whole foods and water
You realize that these drinks have very low amounts of sugar right?
You also realize those fruits have more sugar than gfuel aswell right. Educate yourself so you don’t sound stupid please.
I don't feel so bad about my blood pressure now. I am 71 and was thinking 125-127/65-69 was a bit high. I will have to check again after my morning cup of coffee.
Yes that was high for us too. Way too excited to do this video
I only drink water all day …. From a Berkey Water Filtration System
Smart choice
If its too sweet you put less amount of gfuel in there and instead of chugging, you can just sip it slowly. Also you're not supposed to fill to the top and instead to the line.
It was how much work that Dr. Zalzal had to put in to finish the drink that was amazing, forget the BP. Thanks for the fun.
Yes he was working hard!
Interesting. I would’ve expected the heart rate to also be up.
Yeah we thought so too. Ideally need to try a few more times
Keep your sugary orange juice, I'll drink the coffee. Have you ever heard of natural food and drinks?
Not sure what your comment means. Yes we have heard of natural food and drinks. One of us is plant based. The other is mostly plant based. Have a great day. Thanks for watching
Sorry mister but i don't trust people that don't drink coffee, have a nice day 😤
That’s funny
A very nice experiment you two! You can be serious and laugh at yourself at the same time! That makes you so relatable!
I've never had energy drinks and I don't desire to either. I already have white coat hypertension, no matter how much I try to relax. Sometimes they take my blood pressure with several types of machines. After trying 5 different times, I ask them to try at the end of my appointment.
I have coffee in the morning and iced tea the rest of the day. I'll have a soft drink occasionally because it goes with certain foods! 😉
But I've watched my nephews grow up drinking all kinds of energy drinks. I've never thought they were good for them, especially in the beginning when they were packed with sugar and way too much caffeine!
It's good seeing you two conducting your own study and showing us the results! I'm sure Dr Z would have finished the drink faster with chicken wings! 😋
You're both good sports for conducting this experiment! I bet you were able to fly through surgery later in the day! 😚
Thanks for sharing another great video! 👍
Yes Vickie. In general probably not the best idea to drink too many of these
Whoa! Loving this vid. Never had/tried energy drinks. Not my thing, but, was fun and educational to watch this "non-scientific" experiment. Very nicely done, Doctors! Also, I believe Dr. Weening's gulping may be a "hint" of some college related activities? 😁 Begs the question, "Was there rum?" 😂 Seriously, more of these.
Glad you enjoyed it! There may have been an occasion or two … 😉
Very interesting. I'm like you Paul. No coffee, mostly fruit juice and water. I'd love to see a vid on having a bed time snack. What is too much? What is a healthy bedtime snack? Time between snack and bed time.
Good topic Gord. We will look into it
I drink Arnie Palmies lol just enough caffeine and sugar
Nice
As always, a great little video!
I am a Tigger, so I've never needed an energy drink. And while I love coffee, any more than 12oz (355ml) of fully caffeinated coffee gives me the jitters. I drank liters college, but it turned on me after age 30!
Good stuff!
Oh I love my coffee ☕️ but try & limit to 2 a day. Never tried the energy drinks. Thank you guys I love this.
Our pleasure!
Were there any changes in how you felt throughout your day. I do not use anything with artificial sweeteners. Also i always read labels. So much junk in our over-processed foods/drinks etc
Not after about an hour. Returned to normal.
I feel caffeine the most at hour 7. That's when I get the most jittery. It's kind of annoying.
Awesome video, thanks! Now you've motivated me to conduct my own non-scientific study to see if my BP increases when I eat coffee ice cream with ground coffee beans (which I prefer) versus generic coffee ice cream. Probably will need to conduct this study over a 4 week period, one week with, one week without.
I love coffee ice cream, but can only eat it early in the day because it gives me insomnia 😞. Good luck!
Ha that’s funny
Sooo you just drank @200mls of water and waited 20mins
Your full bladder could account for the SLIGHT increase in BP
If your bladder wasn’t full you may want to check your Renal function.
Either way love watching your videos especially because it’s current ,easily understood and not just Orthopaedics
Great point Dexter. We should have peed first!
The problem mainly with these drinks they are full of sugar like soda. Dr juice drinker needs a blood glucose and A1C
Yes. This one wasn’t though. 15 calories.
@@TalkingWithDocs we need to get your medical professionals on whole food diets for a month take away your sugar, starch, grain and high glycemic fruit and vegs. Then have you eat what i have been eating for a year and a quarter reversing pre diabetes and high blood pressure. I now weight what i did when i was 20 at 56. Meat, fish, eggs, modest full fat dairy and quality nuts and low starch vegs and high fat fruit like avocados and olives.
256 THOUSAND views in 15 hours. Congrats!
Hi Joseph. We wish
@@TalkingWithDocs Well, that's what it said on my UA-cam thing. But, now I see it changed. I have to stop watching these videos when I'm drunk. :))
If 1 normal dose changed things that much we'd be concerned. That powder wasn't supposed to include any illegal drugs or anything
No it was just G Fuel.
Great video, pretty interesting as I see G fuel advertised a lot on gaming UA-cam videos.
Thank you!
Interesting Vid, I drink zero cal monster or bangs and I don't feel anything exhilarating. I do have ADD/ADHD so I'm guessing that's why it chills me out.
Maybe. Ultra focus
Are you better off drinking a Gatorade instead an energy drink ?
Should children under 8 drink Gatorade?
So really depends what your goals are. Gatorade has a lot of sugar. And no caffeine
@@TalkingWithDocs True. Those drinks are usually colored/flavored hypertonic drinks, but usually hypertonic due to high sugars.
It was bit like watching a couple of drug addiction injecting them shelves...
Well it is a drug caffeine...
Thank boys..
I stopped by for the Orthopedic advice, I stayed for the energy drinks.
Ha RT. Love it!!
I’d hate to the next victim in the operation ward with these two could get zig zag stitches .😂
That’s funny Rob. These at steady hands 🙌
luv u docs cuz you make me laugh + fyi i ordered BEET ROOT POWDER + GROUND FLAX SEED from Amazon = for my daily BP lowering beverage + if i don;t like the taste adding a few ice cubes will remedy that 🙂
Nice Sue. Let’s get that BP down!
What a great narrative about studies in the middle of your study---loved it. I am guessing Dr. Zalzal will not be having another one of those any time soon
Nope Gregg
Excellent explanation of scientific studies And I won’t be drinking energy drinks in the future.i drink a glass of milk after a workout.
Very nice
I have never had an energy drink, and I don’t think I’m missing out. I do have a mug (1 1/2 cups) of strong fresh ground coffee each morning with Truvia (Stevia) and sugar free creamer. The rest of the day I drink water up until I go to sleep. Your videos are SO informative and you both are SO precious! Having said this...I’m SO glad I wasn’t the patient you worked on after filming this video! 😊😄😉
yiu are missing out a lot of things from energy drink is TAASTE BABY TASTE YEAHHHH!
We were good by the time we operated! Back to normal
@@TalkingWithDocs Was playing racquetball one day with a brain surgeon. He got a call that he had to leave to go do brain surgery. We played for another 45 minutes. He said it would take them a while to get ready. I mean, it's not brain surgery ....OH WAIT !!
How did the rest of your day go? Experience any unusual tiredness throughout the shift? Any stomach issues?
For me, flavored "energy drinks" are as if I drank a bottle of castor oil along with a benadryl or three.
Everything starts out ok, without any of the supposed "energy". But by hour 3... I am useless. Oddly, 1 or 2 "Monster Java" drinks do not seem to affect me. (have yet to check vitals however)
Rest of the day was ok. No crash.
I drank a Red Bull once when driving - never again!
Yeah it’s a lot
Hmmmmm.
Not sure if that tells the entire story.
Red Bull, probably the most well known energy drink, also contains other things that might affect vitals. A pretty good dose of B12 and B6 which tends to make my heart pound a bit, for example.
But I love these videos.
Agreed Tom it’s not just the caffeine. Plus we are pretty excitable when filming.
O2 SATs?
Yes oxygen saturation.
I like a good energy drink guys, an ice cold beer AHHHHH! lol
Nice Gregory!
Williams Jessica Anderson Patricia Thompson Maria
highest i did was 1270mg caffeine, 8 servings gfuel. wasn't a fun time but 3, maybe 4 is no issue
Had a patients son (14 y.o.) exhibiting neurological symptoms, they had an appointment with a pediatric neurologist, we had him stop the energy drinks, all of his symptoms disappeared in 3 days. The parents thought these drinks were healthy.
Yeah it’s pretty nuts
You were brave to drink that stuff. I've never had an energy drink in my life except coffee although as you are saying, strong coffee has similar amount of caffeine to what you drank. Coffee seems like the healthier option. Is that the takeaway?
Yes Words. We are going to review coffee but some pretty good evidence for health benefits
Love these videos. You guys are awesome!
Glad you like them!
My energy drink of choice is a DQ Blizzard.
Ah yes the Blizzard. So uniquely Canadian it seems
Wait a minute..."unless you're a giraffe?" So if you're taller the blood pressure would be higher but considered normal?
Well you would have to be really tall but yes it does take more pressure to get blood up to their heads. In a tell person however the distance from their heart to brain is not that much different.
@@TalkingWithDocs how tall are we talking? Six feet and over? Thanks for the information!
Luv u guys
Thanks Nancy!!
“ you partied a lot in university “😂😂😂
😉
Energy drinks have a lot of unknowns in them!
For sure
Thank you for the info, Docs. At least I learnt today what my ideal BP should be! A GP once said to me that if I wanted a cheap, but effective, energy drink for a game of golf, I should take a liter of water and mix in a spoon of sugar and a spoon of salt (presumably a small spoon!). Does it make sense?
Yeah we guess but probably water is enough unless you are doing prolonged sports with excessive sweating
I've never seen anyone chug a full serving of GFuel that fast haha Would you down a large coffee in a minute?
Hi Dr. Weening and Dr. Zalzal. Man Dr. W downed that drink. You must have been very popular in college. It is still very informative. Once 1pm comes around I stop drinking everything and I stick to water. I drink 8 bottles of water a day. I go to the bathroom alot but water keeps my kidneys working. There was a time that I couldn't stand to drink water. I drank soda, sugary drinks, and orange juice. I'm so happy I cut those things out of my liquid intake. My BP is usually around 120/80. BP of a 20 yo just like I said before. Hard to believe I am going to be 59 in August. Thank you both for sharing
Welcome MArie. Water is the best choice for sure
Would you say BCAAs without caffeine is good for intra exercising?
There is some evidence that consuming protein during workouts has benefit but it does depend on the goals, the type of exercise etc
:) well done
Thanks!
Hi Docs, My drinks are either Powerade Zero or G2 in that order. I’m only interested in hydration and electrolytes. Especially after perspiring from activity. And NO chicken wings! James (NE)
Wise choices James. Some researchers feel that water is likely enough for hydration unless you are doing extreme endurance sports but we like the taste of the two you mentioned and the reduced sugar
@@TalkingWithDocs There are times when water does taste great and other times I have trouble getting it down. But I agree, water plus my two. 👍🙋♂️
Is Stevia ok as a sweetener? Thanks
It is probably better than most. Going to try and review it
So just a heads up that top funnel is for water bottles and if you filled it up to the top then you have just taken double the amount of caffeine.
Luckily the good docs did not try Monster drinks. They had serious class actions against them. I was speaking with someone who told me she had to go to urgent care because of her reaction to it.
Yes they are strong.
Dear Docs, you've struck upon exactly what I experience with BP/HR but without the energy drink. If I'm relaxed and calm, my BP will often be high @145/90 with a pulse around 45-50. If I move around a bit and get my pulse up to around 70 my BP will fall to around 130/80. I used to attribute high BP reading at the Dr's office to white coat fever but I think it's just that I sit quietly in the waiting room and my resting HR goes quite low. I don't know if there's a scientific explanation but it's very reproducible for me.
Hard to say really. Hope you are ok.
Next time: chicken wing flavoured potato chips 😋 👌🏼
Thanks, drs.
Great suggestion!
as someone who used drinks 3 - 4 cans of monsters daily, this vid is kinda entertainin to watch. viet coffee & sneak (its like g fuel but better) actually helps me drink less monsters.
i wanna see both of you do a vid review on sneak to see how it differs from g fuel.
We can add it to the list for sure!
If nothing else, this sample of two could get people curious about the effects of these "supplements" as they are advertised.
Yes better to just drink water and work hard
How do you measure caffeine ? By the way I’m English and drink loads of tea .
That was great fun! I always thought you should take your blood pressure on your left arm, no? I guess we learned how to not do a study😂😂
Doesn’t matter as long as it is the same arm
Taylor Charles Clark Ronald Moore Edward
I heard that the max in Germany is 32mg/100ml of caffein, but then there are these ready to go expressos, which have more caffein than gfuel (gfuel 50mg/100ml) (expresso to go 52mg/100ml) but they have so much sugar in the like 9g/100ml which makes the 6mg of caffein to expensive.
It does vary country to country
G fuel is great for saving money tbh even if it’s not great for u
6:14 “whoa, Sonic the Hedgehog”😂😂😂
You should consider the effects of taurine in many of the energy drinks. Potent stuff.
Yes that is listed for a bunch of them
