> caloric overflow pools in other parts of the body

So if you are saying its contributing to "increased mental clarity and engagement" but the overflow is causing issues over time, then does this mean its just about finding the right dosage/frequency to maintain high clarity levels?

I guess its more like there is no free lunch here.

Yeah, pretty much. There's no hard rule for how to balance sugar against use of stimulants and performance enhancers.

I couldn't tell you the right choices to make, unconditionally. Even just by body weight. Habit and tolerance are major curve balls. Caloric burn varies by body part.

Meanwhile, canned drinks are really just about flavors and marketing, balanced against cost.

Thanks for those posts. Learnt something. Hopefully one day we are better at producing this data for everyone at a personalized level.
