Outline:
Message circulating via social media claims that the ‘longhorn cattle company’ tested some of the top brands of energy drink and found that they contain bull sperm.
Brief Analysis:
The claims in the message are untrue. Energy drinks do not contain bull sperm. They do contain taurine – a name derived from the Latin word ‘taurus’, which means ‘bull’ or ‘ox’. Taurine was given that name because it was first isolated in the bile of an ox. While it is a major component of bile, taurine is also found in the large intestine and in the tissues of animals and humans. However, the taurine used in common energy drinks is synthetic and is not derived from bulls or other animals.
** No more red bulls for me..!!!! Ewwwwwww.!!!!
