Energy drinks contain large amounts of sugar, 4 times more caffeine than coffee, vitamins, minerals and non-nutrient stimulants. A large amount of caffeine and sugar can seriously raise your blood pressure and endanger your heart health and your psychological state. Studies confirm that these beverages lead to obesity, insomnia, abdominal pain, bowel irritation, and severe kidney damage. If you consume these drinks in large quantities, they can a fast heart-rate, cardiac arrest and even death.
