Two of the most hazardous synthetic chemicals that are commonly found in energy drinks and energy shots are aspartame and sucralose. Aspartame and sucralose are synthetic sugars that have strong excitotoxin properties; therefore, they do a great job destroying nerve cells.

Aspartame is a synthetic sugar made up of methanol (wood alcohol), aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Aspartame is very toxic to the body, because when it reaches the small intestine, it reacts to certain enzyme that causes it to release methanol.

There are currently more than a dozen artificial sweetener in the market but one of the most dangerous and widely used is aspartame. This sugar substitute is a synthetic substance made up of methanol (wood alcohol), aspartic acid and phenylalanine. When aspartame reaches the small intestine, it reacts to certain enzyme that causes it to release methanol. Methanol is considered very toxic to the human body and can cause blindness or even death. It is important to know that some fruit juice do contain methanol but they also usually contain ethanol, the antidote for methanol. Aspartame can also release a byproduct called aspartate which is an excitatory amino acid.
