Commenters on a viral TikTok were divided after one user revealed his negative experience with a popular energy drink. Show Showing himself with a series of wires stuck to his chest, seemingly in the midst of a cardiology examination, TikTok user @nickerrante explained that he drank a Celsius energy drink before working out every day for the last two years. "Me drinking Celsius before every workout for the last 2 years thinking I'm healthy," he wrote in the video's text overlay, before showing himself in what appears to be a doctor's office. Posted with the caption, "i might still drink it tho," the viral video has received nearly 9,000 likes and has been viewed more than 253,000 times. Celsius energy drinks are made from "nothing but the best" ingredients, according to the company's website. Billed as an alternative to other energy drinks, like Red Bull, Monster and Bang, Celsius says that its drinks are made from "healthier ingredients," like ginger, guarana, green tea and essential vitamins. The Celsius website also maintains that its energy drinks contain "no sugar, no aspartame, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors," and are intended to be consumed 15-20 minutes before exercising.
 However, like with other, popular energy drink brands, health experts warn of potentially harmful side effects, partially due to caffeine levels which range between 200-300 milligrams per 12 ounce can. "It is concerning because too much caffeine can cause people to become addicted and [require] more to get the same effect," Lindsay Hanford, a registered nurse and Health and Wellness staff member at The Williston Northampton School, said in an interview with The Willistonian. "It can also cause side effects such as increased heart rate or irregular heartbeat, insomnia, and anxiety," Hanford added. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention corroborates Hanford's assertions about Celsius and other energy drinks, listing dehydration, heart complications, anxiety, and insomnia as side effects of drinking highly-caffeinated beverages. In a top comment left on @nickerrante's viral video, another TikTok user complained of heart issues potentially linked to regular Celsius consumption. "No [because] I drink one every day and my heart been feeling weird :((((," user @helenjay2 commented. "Literally kept waking up in the middle of the night [with] heart palpitations and my anxiety had never been higher," another commenter added. Throughout the viral video's comment section, countless TikTok users revealed that they regularly drink Celsius and other energy drinks, and don't plan on stopping. "Not me currently drinking a Celsius," user @tierrasands commented. "*pretends to not see this and scrolls*," another commenter added. "I drink a Celsius everyday & I went to a cardiologist, did an EKG, stress echo, etc. & I'm fine lol y'all good don't worry," @lizbawlz18 chimed in. TikTok user @marinaascholz, whose comment has been liked 155 times, said they won't stop drinking Celsius despite the side effects, prompting a similar response from @nickerrante. "Can't stop won't stop," @marinaascholz commented. "They're too good [laughing my a** off]," @nickerrante responded. Newsweek reached out to @nickerrante and Celsius for comment. Recently, there has been commotion online because many people are claiming to have been experiencing heart problems from energy drinks, specifically the popular energy drink Celsius. Celsius was first introduced to the market in 2004 as a dietary weight loss drink but the company later decided to rebrand as an energy drink after public backlash. Celsius drinks have rapidly grown in popularity and now rival
other popular energy drink brands such as Monster and Red Bull. A large element of Celsius’s branding is as a drink that provides energy before a workout, making it popular with athletes. A 12 fl. oz. can of Celsius contains 200 mg of caffeine, no sugar, 10 calories, and an assortment of blended vitamins and minerals with the intent of providing an energy boost. Despite recent backlash on the Internet claiming that Celsius drinks can cause, “side effects such as increased heart rate,
irregular heartbeat, insomnia, and anxiety,” these are really just the effects of consuming too much caffeine and have nothing to do with the specific formula of the Celsius drink. Others claim the levels of caffeine in Celsius are too high and could be dangerous, but one can of Celsius has the same amount of caffeine as two cups of coffee. However, Monster energy drinks only contain 86mg of caffeine and Red Bull contains 111 mg. This means that the caffeine content of a Celsius is twice as
strong as its competitors. Celsius energy drinks are not suggested for anyone under 18 and it is not recommended to have more than two in a day. These drinks are not inherently dangerous, but like anything they can cause issues when not consumed in moderation. In this case the dosage is the issue, not the actual drink. Source:

Why Celsius energy drink is bad?“It is concerning because too much caffeine can cause people to become addicted and requiring more to get the same effect,” Hanford said. “It can also cause side effects such as increase heart rate or irregular heartbeat, insomnia, and anxiety. It is not recommended for people under 18.”
Is it bad to drink Celsius everyday?“For everyday people, I would say if they want to have this from time to time, in moderation, OK,” she says. “Not every single day.” Even though a lot of the ingredients are water soluble, she says overconsumption of these drinks can potentially cause diarrhea and nausea.
Are Celsius drinks bad for your liver?The drink has 200 mg of caffeine so it is recommended to limit one to two celsius a day. Rumors have gone around that Celsius has caused liver damage but researchers say that any excessive amount of caffeine can cause liver damage. So, the moral of the story is, don't drink an excessive amount of it.
