Are starbucks doubleshots as unhealthy as regular energy drinks?

I'm not sure regular energy drinks are "unhealthy"to begin with, I'm sure some are but not all of them.

Actually the starbucks stuff doesnt look horrible either. 200cals(little high) 12g protein (thats pretty good), 2.5G fat (not bad) plus you get A bunch of B vites plus A and D and some other stuff. I wouldnt drink a bunch of them at 200 K/cal each but seems fine in moderation.

I wouldn't think so- since they are just double espresso's... energy drinks often have much higher caffeine content plus add other herbs that increase the caffeine and the uptake of it-- hence why they can be dangerous. Look for the energy drinks without caffeine--- better yet-- pop a couple B-complex vitamins with a big cup of green tea.... as much energy, lasts most of the day, and HEALTHY! (don't take more than 2 at a time- you CAN overdose on some vitamins!)

Yes! Any caffeine product is bad for health, and all energy drinks as well.
