the dose that has been clinically shown to cause adverse effects is 1.1mg of splenda per kg of bodyweight. Again, thats 11000 monster low carbs in one day for a 220lb bro.
I wouldnt drink 6 monster in a day simply because of the overly-excessive amount of caffiene. The buck would stop there as i would see no need for further debate.

lets look at some things
1.it makes you bloat
2. its a laxitivve
3. it can cause cancer
4. people who drink diet drinks are more prone to be overweight then people who dont.. why is this?? i wont say its a direct cause, but it plays a dominant role in it..

Results from over 100 animal and clinical studies in the FDA approval process unanimously indicated a lack of risk associated with sucralose intake.[4][18][19][20] However, some adverse effects were seen at doses that significantly exceeded the estimated daily intake (EDI), which is 1.1 mg/kg/day[21]

Honestly at this point my only real beef is with aspartame, knowing that its made with methanol which is highly toxic. But until i see some solid evidence that sucralose is bad for you, im not gonna lose any sleep over it. I consume 2 monster low carbs a day, have been for several years. And i also sweeten my oatmeal with splenda and there are other foods/drinks that i consume during the course of the day that contain splenda. So id be willing to bet im consuming the equivalent of 6 monsters a day worth of splenda and im still alive. Were talking about .06 grams here which is a fraction of the 110g a day shown to be problematic.
The warning on the can is because of the caffiene, btw
But thats all the reason i need to not disregard it.

^^^WOW... That was quite funny. LOL
I still wouldn't be consuming that much, regardless of any research done. Didnt someone post about it giving issues with proper hydration and absorbtion by the intestines. If that is true it would play a roll in effecting protien absorbtion and effect ones growth. I dont know if that is true but like 3J said better safe than sorry. Thats alot of caffiene for sure though. I dont see how if one is drinking 6 of these a day he is finding enough tiem for enough water intake throughout the day.
If your drinking .5liters of water an hr and your awake 16hrs a day that gives you 8 liters a day which is about 2 gallons I dont see how I could drink 6 energy drinks and consume that cuz I already piss every 30-45 minutes.

You guys were really going at it there for a bit. Made it interesting to read!! If the guy is throwing back 6 Monsters a day because he likes the taste then more power to him. You two have provided all the information he needs to make a decision. In the end the guy is going to make his own choice, regardless of who won this argument! I have found 3J's diet advice very helpful in improving my physique. With that being said, let me say this.....Whhhhyyy can't wee be friiiiends? Whhhyyy can't wee be friiieends?

lmfao.. tempers flare here... im ALWAYS down to debate nutrition.. and im not dumb enough to say i know everything.. so it's always good to learn from other people.. from each other...
but to be honest i think both edogger and i were in a bad mood last night.. lmfao.. it happens.. too much test floating around on the board.. its bound to happen..
im glad it came out to be a civil debate..
and i dont expect everyone to think the way i do about things.. i have my philosophy... there are 100000 more out there.. we debate and let others decide who's is better and who's they wanna follow.. and those people hopefully create their own philosophies based upon what they've learned from others.. thats the magic of this board

Must say, very interesting debate! I thought we were going to read about you two in the newspaper "Two hostile steroid user found stabbed by one another in front of a publix holding monster energy drink cans" LMFAO! Good read though. You guys each had good points. That said, when I finish this 24 pack, I think I'm going to "Energy drink rehab." =\ These things are fuking addicting as shit! My god! Yesterday night I told myself "tomorrow, I'm gonna drink only two cans" HA! I'm on my fourth already!! I think they sprinkle crack in those things!
