Ditch Prime drink

As of recently, I have heard of this Prime drink. Didn't think of it much more until it became a hot topic among few. Got me intrigued so started digging deeper.
 
So, turns out Logan Paul, the $45M dollar YouTube sensation is promoting a new energy drink, Prime Energy, with 200mg of caffeine per can to your kids. That's more than double the caffeine content of any other energy drink on the market including V, Mother and Red Bull.
 
Apparently, Prime also make a Sports Hydration Drink. Below is the ingredient list for those who care:
Filtered Water, Coconut Water from Concentrate, Citric Acid, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tri Magnesium Citrate, Natural Flavor, Sucralose, Beta Carotene for Color, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine, D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Acesulfame Potassium, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin a), Zinc Aspartate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12).
(At least they're using filtered water). 
 
For those who don't know, Dipotassium Phosphate is is a substance made by combining potassium hydroxide with phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid that makes Coca-Cola so famous for its ability to clean the oil off our engines!
 
Gets better, "...it has been repeatedly ruled safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration", even though it's main use is as a fertilizer.
 
Prime Hydration also includes 2 artificial sweeteners, be aware, they cross the blood brain barrier and cause neurological issues long term!
 
The added minerals are there so it could be labelled a healthy 'sports drink'.
 
The brainwashing that occurs daily on TikTok is worse than Facebook and Instagram combined, trouble is that's where all our kids hang out.
 
Please read your labels, and teach your kids not to get sucked in by celebrities who really just do not care about you or your kids health. Educate yourself too before allowing your kids to drink this stuff. Thank goodness some schools (our school is one of them) have banned this drink from the school grounds! Hope rest follows!
