Parents, it’s time to talk to your teens about energy drinks. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. European researchers have been evaluating the claims of energy drinks being a health hazard and what they found might surprise you. Next time you feel the need for quick energy from a can or small bottle, you might want to think again. The large amounts of caffeine can actually shock the body and cause caffeine intoxication, as sometimes fatal condition. Even if you don’t drink enough to die, these drinks have been associated with high blood pressure, vomiting, and heart palpitations. The study also showed that young people who drink energy drinks are more likely to engage in risky behavior. So, make healthier choices and forgo the quick fix that may cause more harm than good.
