你喝的能量飲料到底含有些什麼，取決於你住在哪裡 加拿大蒙特婁 - 2026年5月21日 - (SeaPRwire) - 一位飲料專家歷時六個月，收集並評估了來自全球六大洲的能量飲料，旨在打造全球首個客觀的能量飲料品類排行榜。然而，在評估過程中，一個意想不到的發現浮出水面：在不同的洲，能量飲料本質上是完全不同的產品。 全球收集與評估 德國知名飲料專業人士、認證品水師 Pat Eckert 意識到，儘管能量飲料是全球最大且最受討論的飲料品類之一，而且汽車、手機、葡萄酒、電影及許多其他消費領域都早已擁有嚴肅的全球性排行榜，卻從未有人為能量飲料建立過一個客觀的全球排行。 因此，在約半年的時間裡，他和團隊從全球所有六個有人居住的大洲收集了能量飲料，並使用相同的專業36項指標框架對每一款產品進行了評估，重點關注可衡量的產品質量、成分、透明度和配方標準。表現優異的產品還被送往實驗室進行檢驗和分析驗證。這就誕生了「六大洲指數」（Six Continents Index）—— 一個旨在確保專業、嚴謹和客觀的評級體系。 最初的目標很簡單：客觀地找出全球表現最好的品牌。 然而，在評估過程中，另一個發現幾乎是偶然間浮現出來的：能量飲料在不同的大洲實際上並不能算作同一種品類。不同地區遵循著截然不同的產品哲學 —— 從歐洲對巴氏殺菌的強烈關注，到亞洲對真糖的偏好，再到北美對人工配方、甜味劑和防腐劑的沉迷。 因此，該項目最終不僅成為了全球首個客觀的能量飲料排行榜，同時也成為了該品類在世界各地配方差異的一瞥縮影。 震撼發現 歐洲走向天然，南美走向人工。歐洲 85.7% 的能量飲料經過了巴氏殺菌，而北美這一比例僅為 12%，南美更是低於 1%。 亞洲仍在使用真糖，北美幾乎不用。在亞洲，78.9% 的能量飲料使用真糖；而在北美，這一比例僅為 8%。他們喝的實際上是完全不同的產品。 北美依賴甜味劑，世界其他地區則大多不然。84% 的北美能量飲料完全依賴人工甜味劑。在歐洲，這一比例僅為 4.2%。而在亞洲、澳大利亞、南美洲和非洲，這一比例幾乎為零。 澳大利亞注重補充維生素，北美則追求精簡。澳大利亞的飲料平均每款含有 4.2 種維生素，而北美僅為 2.9 種。 阿斯巴甜仍在全球範圍內使用，尤其是在非洲。被世界衛生組織/國際癌症研究機構（WHO/IARC）列為「可能對人類致癌」（2B類）的阿斯巴甜，在全球 10.5% 的產品中有所使用，而這些含有阿斯巴甜的產品中，有 43% 集中在非洲。 無雙酚A（BPA-free）標籤在全球範圍內幾乎隱形。在全球樣本中，只有 1.4% 的產品清晰地標有無雙酚A標籤。 北美作為全球收入最大的能量飲料市場，在六大洲中總分排名墊底。 歐洲選擇巴氏殺菌，北美選擇人工甜味劑，亞洲選擇真糖，澳大利亞選擇補充維生素。相同的品類，完全不同的產品哲學。 全球品牌觀察 在對六大洲評估的眾多品牌中，有兩個品牌因排行之外的原因脫穎而出。紅牛（Red Bull）是唯一一個在幾乎所有評估的全球市場中都能找到的能量飲料品牌；而日本的力保健（Lipovitan-D）則是研究中最古老的品牌，自 1962 年起就已經上市。 得分最高的产品 在大洲層面上，歐洲在指數中獲得了最高總分。澳大利亞及大洋洲排名第二，亞洲位列第三。 在品牌層面上，來自匈牙利的 HELL Energy 獲得了該指數中客觀產品質量的總分第一名。第二名是來自德國的 28 BLACK，緊隨其後的是同樣來自德國的 TAKE OFF。 完整調查結果 更多調查結果、方法論和背景資訊可透過訪問 https://www.sixcontinentsindex.com 索取。 關於該項目 「六大洲指數」項目由 Pat Eckert 及其團隊主導。Eckert 是一位德國認證品水師和獨立飲料專家，他此前的研究成果曾被《衛報》、ABC新聞、《電訊報》、《快報》、德國《鏡報》和英國廣播公司（BBC）報導。 受評估的品牌未被提前通知、未提交申請，且未參與評估。整個過程中沒有任何付費參與、贊助或商業影響。 媒體聯繫 品牌：Fine Liquids 聯繫人：Pat Eckert 電子郵件：pat@fine-liquids.com 網站：https://sixcontinentsindex.com

What’s Actually in Your Energy Drink Depends on Where You Live MONTREAL, QC – May 21, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A beverage expert spent six months collecting and assessing energy drinks from all six continents to create the world’s first objective global ranking of the category. But during the process, an unexpected discovery emerged: depending on the continent, energy drinks are fundamentally different products. WORLDWIDE COLLECTION & ASSESSMENT Pat Eckert, an internationally recognised German beverage professional and certified water sommelier, realised that nobody had ever created an objective global ranking of energy drinks. This was despite energy drinks being one of the world’s largest and most discussed beverage categories, while cars, phones, wines, films, and many other consumer sectors already have serious worldwide rankings. So over roughly half a year, he and his team collected energy drinks from all six inhabited continents and assessed each one using the same professional 36-criteria framework, focused on measurable product quality, ingredients, transparency, and formulation standards. Top-performing products were submitted for laboratory testing and analytical verification. This became the Six Continents Index – built to be professional, rigorous, and objective. The original goal was simple: to identify which brands objectively perform best worldwide. However, during the assessment, another finding emerged almost accidentally: energy drinks are not really the same category across continents. Different regions follow very different product philosophies – from Europe’s strong focus on pasteurisation, to Asia’s preference for real sugar, to North America’s heavy reliance on artificial formulations, sweeteners and preservatives. So the project ultimately became both the world’s first objective global energy drink ranking and a snapshot of how differently the category is formulated around the world. The Shock FindingS Europe goes natural. South America goes artificial.85.7% of European energy drinks were pasteurised, compared with 12% in North America and under 1% in South America. Asia still uses real sugar. North America barely does.In Asia, 78.9% of energy drinks used real sugar. In North America: just 8%. They are effectively drinking a different product. North America runs on sweeteners. The rest of the world mostly does not.84% of North American energy drinks relied entirely on artificial sweeteners. In Europe: just 4.2%. In Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa: almost none. Australia vitaminizes. North America simplifies.Australian drinks averaged 4.2 vitamins per product, compared with just 2.9 in North America. Aspartame is still used worldwide, especially in AfricaAspartame (classified by WHO/IARC as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B)), was used in 10.5% of products worldwide, with 43% of those aspartame-containing products found in Africa. BPA-free labelling was almost invisible worldwide.Only 1.4% of the global sample clearly carried BPA-free labelling. North America – the world’s largest energy drink market by revenue – ranked last overall among the six continents. Europe pasteurises. North America sweetens artificially. Asia uses real sugar. Australia vitaminizes. Same category, completely different product philosophies. GLOBAL BRAND NOTES Among the many brands assessed across six continents, two stood out for reasons beyond the ranking. Red Bull was the only energy drink brand found in virtually every market assessed worldwide, while Japan’s Lipovitan-D was the oldest brand in the study, having been on the market since 1962. HIGHEST-SCORING PRODUCTS At the continental level, Europe achieved the highest overall score in the index. Australia & Oceania ranked second, followed by Asia in third place. At brand level, HELL Energy from Hungary achieved the highest overall score for objective product quality in the index. Second place went to 28 BLACK from Germany, followed by TAKE OFF, also from Germany.
