When researching an is-it-a-scam website Brant Richards of Bikemagic.com found the quashing of a web-rumour saying Red Bull contains a dangerous stimulant created by the U.S. government which has been linked to the formation of brain tumours.

A load of (Red) Bull

Go to http://www.snopes.com/…/redbull.htm. If you get any customers asking about Red Bulls safety youll know how to allay their fears.

The snopes site has this to say about the rumour:

It’s reckless gossip of the high-speed variety, and it can prove exceedingly harmful to companies struggling to maintain hard-earned market share.
