Using energy drinks for a long time and at this dose, can cause health problems?
What's the bottom line on this?
Anyone want to comment?
The info. out there seems that they can give heart attacks every so often
From the tv show "1,000 ways to die" to even a Facebook group of family members devoted against them
I mean if they're so bad, why are they still on the market? Are they like cigarettes in that regard?
Anyone know about class action lawsuits on energy drinks?
I myself lately started drinking a 16 oz of Rockstar zero sugar about once or 2x per day, that's it...and I enjoy the feeling over coffee which is harsh on the stomach and coffee is simply getting to just taste nasty
The rockstar silver zero sugar energy drink on my table right now (a 12 pack of 16 ounces) has no: 'warning do not exceed ___ cans per day"
I posted a link below to an article of a 21 year old man who ended up in the hospital-- his Heart increased in size, he had kidney renal failure
copied and pasted some below here
Quote:
(21 year old in the UK consumed)
four 500 mL cans per day for approximately two years.”
The drinks had around 160 mg of caffeine each.
500 ml cans is like a 16 ounce can (a tall boy here in the states)
Why drinking too many energy drinks can cause heart problems is still not fully understood, but doctors believe the high level of caffeine in energy drinks could play a role.
“Energy drinks are also known to increase blood pressure,” the case report added, saying that this could lead to issues with blood travel through the body, potentially contributing to heart failure.
“Further research is needed to identify susceptibility factors, the safe amount of energy drink consumption and underlying mechanisms of toxicity,” the case study said.

*I, niceguyresearcher, think that the excess caffeine causes bp problems and that's where the 21 year old's kidneys started to get affected as bp affects kidney health
