Energy drink link to heart problems and even strokes
In the past year, 61 per cent of British people have consumed a sports drink and 46 per cent a energy drink. These drinks may offer a quick boost but are loaded with health risks.
Experts have warned that many energy drinks contain the equivalent of more than 13 teaspoons of sugar and 160mg of caffeine – which is about the same as in four cans of cola. The drinks have been associated with a number of side effects, including irregular heartbeat, sleep impairment and nausea.
The advice is to keep things natural and stick to water and juice!
