Energy drinks have surged in popularity in recent years and are almost as popular as regular soda. One reason they are popular is because they are marketed as a healthy dietary supplement. However, there may be a problem with this. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have strict regulations and guidelines as to how much caffeine should be in a regular soda (sodas are classified as a beverage). Because energy drinks like Gatorade are classified as a dietary supplement, there is no limit to how much caffeine they contain. Also, some energy drinks contain ingredients that could cause dehydration, raised body temperature and heart rate.
