    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:
    Sometimes we need an extra punch of energy to help us finish the day. Don't beat yourself up if you grab an energy drink, just use a little discretion when choosing one. Most energy drinks are loaded with sugar and caffeine that don't promote good health. Next time you're about to take a sip, take a look at the nutrition label and check for these four key guidelines.

    Dr. Oz's Energy Drink Guidelines:
    • One energy drink per day
    • No more than 10 grams of sugar 
    • No more than 300 mg of caffeine 
    • No chemicals or artificial sweeteners
