Major component is TAURIN... \n\nIt is amino-acid taht exists in human body but in some condition level of it is going up (normally in parallel with adrinalin)... AND IT IS WAIKING YOU UP...\n\nBut, human body is simple, if that was forcing of power using then will be hard time in next time... Long time useing of touring can affect not only brain but destabilize all of organism...\n\nB-group vitamins are compensating (have to be) the demage by touring... BUT it is not so right an depends of body conditions...\n\nIf you will mix it with alchogole - it is the best way to fly a way and... BE DIE...\n\nJust take it in critical situation... it is not 'by-the-way-drink'...

No, I'm telling you this again because well, you will need to hear the answers to questions repeatedly if you smoke marijuana. It hinders your memory and hastens the myelin sheath. Sorry! Ohh yeah and...\n\nNo

No.  You get more "wrinkles" in your brain which increases the surface area of the brain without increasing its volume.

energy drinks usually are carbonated drinks that contain some sort of perfomance and endurance booster such as ginseng, ginko, or taurine. redbull is an energy drink. soda simply gives you caffeine and is not really considered an energy drink. gatorade gives you carbohydrates and electrolytes, but it is considered moreover as a sports drink.

I'm pretty sure it does affect your brain.  Didn't you ever take health class in school?

What? hahaha.. NO. It may cause your eardrum to be irritated, but it cannot in any way cause brain damage. Please slap whoever told you that!

Apparently  it causes brain damage. The correct spelling is   states.

I'm only going to answer this because the person who said marijuana destroys brain cells is wrong. Marijuana in studies with ADULTS proved to cause minimum to NO damage in brain cells and or brain function. I'm friends with one of the most famous Pot doctors in the world and he has written a book that talks extensively about marijuana as a medicine for people EXACTLY like your friend.

Don't you know how bad that junk is????!!!! It is highly addictive and destroys the brain tissue. It also makes you paranoid and hostile. You need to seek help!!! I hope you get busted!!!

First, do not listen to any answers if people do not qualify their info.  Red Bull was actually created as a sports drink in Europe, when brought to the US marketing determined they had a wider audience (higher sales) if they marketed as an energy drink.  It is like gatorade with caffeine.  IT contains stimulants, and yes, stimulants speed your metabolism, but very minimally and are not going to help you lose weight, the extra energy however, gives you the capacity to workout harder, which in turn burns more calories.  1)Drink = 2)more energy = 3)better workout = 4)weight loss.  without 2 and 3, 1 DOES NOT equal 4.  On the downside, most stimulants also act as diuretics (they dehydrate you).  Dehydration weakens performance (worse workout), particularly in longer duration cardio.  \n\nGOOD SIDE BAD SIDE, make the smart choice, if you feel better when you workout while or after drinking one, go for it, if you don't, then don't.  \n\nRemember, it is ultimately the workout (and diet) that determines your weight loss, supplements (pills or drinks) do nothing on their own, they work through their impact on your workout.

Cognitive dysfunction is common after a concussion.  (I have had several - 3 different car accidents, and one high school sports injury).  These should be taken very seriously.  \n\nA concussion is literally an injury to the brain.  It can take weeks to sometimes years to 'appear to fully recover' from a concussion.  However, medical research has shown that even after the patient feels 'completely normal', there has been some permanent loss of brain capacity.  This can be minimized by prompt and proper treatment.\n\nThe reason symptoms tend not to start until a day or two after the injury may be explained by the following.  The initial injury can damage some of the brain's cells.  These cells, if damaged enough, will recognize their damage and choose to commit a form of 'cell suicide' called Apoptosis.  Apoptosis is a mechanism damaged cells use to kill themselves 'as safely as possible'.  If the cell dies through other mechanisms, it causes the release of many damaging chemicals from the cells which then damage and kill surrounding cells.  This process 'spreads' the damage to uninjured cells.  Strokes are well known to spread damage in the brain by this process.\n\nTreatment?  The spread of damage by the dying off of the injured cells can be moderated by high levels of Antioxidants.  Antioxidants include nutritional substances such as:  Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, Bioflavanoids, Lipoic Acid and Glutathione/NAC (NAC is a supplement of N-Acetyl-Cysteine which the body converts into glutathione).\n\nI would recommend you get to your local health food store and pick up a good quality 'Antioxidant' supplement and have your son take the maximum dosage every two hours (while awake).  I would also suggest he take extra Vitamin C (as much as he can tolerate without developing diarrhea).\n\nIf the supplement you get does not contain Lipoic acid and NAC, get these separately.  Again, take the maximum doses every two hours.\n\nLastly, I would take a quality mutlivitamin/mineral supplement.  "Nutrients work in Harmony" and a 'muliti' will help ensure all the nutrients needed for optimal healing are present.\n\nLast note:  Medical research shows an increased risk for long-term brain problems like Alzheimer's disease result from even mild concussions.  So, take seriously your son's injury, even if the medical doctor does not.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S. I would also like to suggest an excellent book by one of the world's top Neurologists - David Perlmutter, M.D.  He is a recent recipient of the Linus Pauling Award in Medicine and teaches large numbers of medical doctors throught the U.S. about nutritional needs for brain problems.  The book is called:  "The Better Brain Book".  It is available at Amazon.com.

Your brain needs some fat in order to function.

Yes, it kills brain cells and ultimately inhibits you from thinking clearly and at your sharpest, thus ruining your life forever. Not only that but it makes you lethargic (tired) and will corrupt your views on life. DO NOT DO MARIJUANA OR ANY OTHER DRUG! Please do not listen these other Teenage Pot-heads, as they will say anything to justify THEM smokeing it. IT IS BAD FOR YOU! It's not Government Propaganda to stop kids from smokeing Marijuana and useing it ANY TIME is bad. There are proven studies that have shown that Marijuana is unhealthy and does, infact, corrupt the human mind (To say the least.)

The brain is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it will atrophy. “Use it or lose it” The most important first step is to maintain overall good health.smoking, and high cholesterol, threaten brain blood vessels as well. Ensure  that you get adequate vitamins and minerals to preserve overall brain function. This means a diet low enough in calories to maintain your ideal body weight, which includes low fat (<60 gm. per day, <20 gm. saturated fat), 2-4 servings of fruit, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 6 servings of bread or grain, and 3 servings of dairy per day, fish twice a week, and red meat limited to once a week. \n“Brain push-ups” like crossword puzzles and other mental challenges are excellent. Entirely new activities are particularly stimulating, like taking up a new musical instrument, engaging in an art activity you’ve never tried before, or learning a new language. Albert Einstein took up the violin late in life, and Winston Churchill took up painting. So, go ahead, be adventurous! Do something you’ve always wanted to do but have never taken the time for. You have nothing to lose, and only pleasure, increased social interactions, a renewed sense of achievement, and better brain function to gain.Smoking contributes to blood vessel damage in the brain,this indirectly affects ur memory .

It can cause increased drowsiness and reduce coordination, which would be bad for physical training.\n\nI would also remind you that this drug may be addictive, and to strictly follow your doctor's orders pertaining to its use.

This is common in vegetarians... are you?  It could result in megaloblastic or pernicious anemia & neurological degeneration of neurons.  You probably have fewer than normal red blood cells, thus a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.  You need to be taking supplements.
