Do you drink Red Bull?




We keep receiving misleading and false information about various things including food and drinks

The latest, I received an email with the subject:

[Fwd: FW: DRINK RED BULL AND DIE SLOWLY !]

Notice the two forwards tag showing that the email has been forwarded at least twice.

It claimed among others that :

....  CONSUMING IT ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT can be mortal...
... contains a highly dangerous chemical which was developed by the United States  Department of Defense...
...One of the main components of RED BULL  is the B12 vitamin, used   in medicine to recover patients who are in a coma...

I don't drink Red Bull and don't have a share in Red Bull Company.

However, I don't like to see people spreading false information about the drink.

The information in the email is FALSE and should not be distributed.

See: http://www.snopes.com/medical/potables/redbull.asp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronolactone

Those who have distributed it should resend emails to their recipients to withdraw their emails since spreading something not true = spreadingfalsehood = fitnah.

Please check/verify 'interesting/amazing' information before distributing them.

See here for more unjustice being done to some other food:
