This excerpt talks about how many substances in energy drinks are useless. This excerpt also talks about how energy drink companies say that their drinks will give you a mental and physical edge, however there is little to no proof supporting that claim.

I agree with this excerpt and think that the author successfully supports the claim made in the title.
