  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Objective: Consumption of energy drinks is increasing amongst athletes and the  general public. By virtue of their bioactive ingredients (including caffeine, taurine,  glucuronolactone, and B-group vitamins) and paucity of calories, sugar-free “diet”  versions of these drinks could be a useful aid for weight maintenance. Yet little is  known about the acute influence of these drinks, and specifically the role of the  cocktail of non-caffeine ingredients, on resting energy expenditure (REE) and  substrate oxidation. Therefore, the metabolic impact of sugar-free Red Bull (sfRB) to a  comparable amount of caffeine was compared.Methods: REE and respiratory quotient  (RQ) were measured in eight healthy young men by ventilated-hood indirect  calorimetry for 30 min baseline and 2 h following ingestion of 355 ml of either: sfRB +  placebo, water + 120 mg caffeine, or water + placebo, according to a randomized  cross-over design.Results: sfRB and water + caffeine both increased REE to the same  degree (+4%). Additionally, sfRB briefly increased RQ. Water + caffeine had no effect  on RQ relative to water + placebo.Conclusions: sfRB enhanced thermogenesis and  marginally shifted RQ to favor carbohydrate oxidation. The stimulatory effects of sfRB  on REE are mimicked by water + caffeine, indicating that the auxiliary ingredients do  not influence this thermic effect. The metabolic effects of sfRB are primarily due to  caffeine alone.</dc:description>
