Do not avoid Celsius energy drinks based on the claim that they contain cyanide.

The creator is calling out an unfounded fear circulated by other influencers regarding the presence of cyanide in Celsius drinks. From a scientific perspective, this assertion rests on a major misunderstanding of the chemical composition of the ingredients, particularly green tea extract or other compounds that do not contain cyanide in a bioavailable or toxic form at the levels consumed. Toxicology teaches that 'the dose makes the poison'; however, there is no evidence showing that standard consumption of these drinks exposes users to cyanide levels dangerous to human health. Health safety agencies (such as the FDA or EFSA) regulate the additives and ingredients in these drinks, ensuring they meet safety thresholds established by rigorous toxicological studies. The cyanide argument here is an alarmist exaggeration that ignores the fundamental principles of food chemistry. It is common in the wellness world to see isolated molecules demonized without regard for the dosage context or the actual food matrix.
