Forget Energy Drinks - Serious Health Risks Reported

A recent study published in, "Frontiers of Public Health" titled, "Health Effects and Public Health Concerns of Energy Drink Consumption in the United States: a Mini-Review", chronicles a long list of health risks associated with energy drink consumption.

Here is a PDF listing of category and effects from the review:

The list of potential health risks is long and includes adverse cardiovascular effects, adverse metabolic, dental, and renal effects, and other problems such as fatigue, stomach irritation, and sleep issues.

Before consuming any of the energy drinks on the market, I recommend talking with your doctor. In my view, a few hours of temporary energy boost isn't worth the risks highlighted in this review.
