Yesterday Medics have warned that energy drinks such as Red Bull can cause heart attacks and strokes by boosting blood pressure.
It’s said that doctors have ordered those with heart disease or high blood pressure to avoid them completely.
Just two cans a day of drinks with caffeine and taurine were shown to have an impact. They caused blood pressure to rise significantly, even in healthy people.
Researchers studied 15 men and women who didn’t drink any other caffeine beverage for one week.
They measured blood pressure and heart rate before and after drinking two cans of an energy drink. Within four hours, their blood pressure and heart rate rose by between five and seven per cent this increased by almost ten per cent after seven days.
The study was unveiled at the US Heart Association conference in Orlando, Florida.
Many people drink energy drinks on a daily bases me being one of them, but what do you think of this study will it make you think twice about drinking them?
