Red Bull – one of indias finest energy drinks, favored by a many across India, is on the verge of being banned completely from India. Because of not following regulations of the maximum amount of caffeine per drink which is two hundred parts per million the Food and Drug Administration has confiscated Red Bull cans worth more than six crore rupees. This does not look good for those who cherish this drink and they must be very angry at the Food and Drug Administration. The Food and Drug Administration has sent a batch of the cans for testing for taking legal action against the concerned parties.

Should Red Bull really be banned from the country? People who do not want to drink it should not drink it but they should not prevent others from drinking it. That is unfair to those who want to drink it but are prevented by doing so because of others. It is stated by researchers that in the long run, high consumption of such energy drinks damages the bones and leads to osteoporosis and arthritis. Research has also cited that there are remote links between such energy drinks and cancer. However how much of this is fact and how much fiction. Each ones body has a different anatomy and their reaction to substances is different. Researchers cannot generalize that Red Bull is bad for everyone and everyone is likely to get osteoporosis by consuming Red Bull. Even though Red Bull may in reality affect the health of all those who drink it in the long run there are so many other drinks in the market that do not follow regulations and are even worse than Red Bull. However the FDA does not catch them. People drink Red Bull not only for pleasure but also for energy. Late at night when I need to study during my exams a can of the drink is very helpful for me. It gives me the required boost to study some more. This article is not taking into account the fact that there are people who need the drink in order to do well their daily lives.
the article is bias towards banning the selling and distribution of Red bull in the indian market. from this i asume that there is corruption somewhere since Red Bull does control a lot of the markets consumption. there should be further investigation involved in this issue-"The limit set forth by the PFA Act applies only to carbonated waters and not to energy drinks containing functional ingredients such as caffeine up to 320mg/L, taurine, glucuronolactone and B group vitamins,” said Vikaas Saxena, director, marketing, Red Bull India."
