Energy drinks derive energy from glucose and have added ingredients like Caffeine, Taurine and Ginseng to "boost energy". Energy drinks have a lot of sugar - one bottle/can of drink may exceed the maximum quantity of added sugars recommended for an entire day. Large amounts of caffeine intake may cause serious heart & blood vessel problems and harm kids' still-developing cardiovascular and nervous systems. Guarana, commonly added to energy drinks, also contains caffeine. A worrying trend, the lethal mix of alcohol & energy drinks can be particularly dangerous as one may feel less intoxicated, but the motor coordination and reaction time may be just as impaired. We decode the unintended health risks that are posed by the excess use of energy drinks.
