With everyone doing an energy shot, it’s no surprise that AMP would release their own AMP Energy Shot. What is surprising is that AMP Energy Shot comes in Jakfruit Citrus flavor. What is Jackfruit (Jakfruit)? It’s a plant from the mulberry family found in South East Asia. It’s surprising that Pepsi went with Jackfruit for flavor since many have described jackfruit as “an acquired taste.”

The latest energy shot on the market is Full Throttle Quick Shot which comes in the Citrus flavor reviewed today and the agave flavor being reviewed soon.

All we know that citrus fruits are very healthy. They are said to have the power to fight life-threatening diseases such as cancer, obesity, and high cholesterol. In this post, I only write about the benefit of citrus fruits for weight loss: burn fat and suppress appetite. Citrus Fruits help to burn fatCitrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, and limes contain high concentrations of Vitamin C (this is also called ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality.Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquefy or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system. Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. Vitamin C can help burn out the cholesterol, hence, making it difficult

Just when you thought that you were buying nice, happy, not chemically laden, better for the earth products, here comes this news. Turns out that a study released by the Organic Consumers Association revealed a toxic carcinogenic contaminant called 1,4 Dioxane (no, I don't know why there is a comma between the numbers) is in many popular brands of body washes, dish soap, and lotions that are labeled "natural" and "organic". And up until now, the presence of this toxin in these products has been undisclosed. So no matter how good you were about checking labels for ingredients, you would never have known this was in anything. Great.Interestingly, products that were certified USDA organic did not contain this toxin, whereas many products that are not certified organic did contained it.
