Do you drink energy drinks? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It seems like everywhere you look someone has an energy drink in their hand. Energy drinks are full of caffeine, taurine, b-vitamins, and other stimulating substances. Studies have shown time and time again that excessive use of energy drinks can lead to heart problems. So why do people still drink them? Energy drinks are targeted towards students and young adults- offering a quick fix after a late night’s work. A drink every now and then can’t hurt, right? Well, think again. A new study out of McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston found that even drinking a single energy drink can have a negative impact on blood vessel function. Next time you need a quick fix, go the natural route with either a cup of coffee or tea.
