Research exposes detrimental effects of energy drinks on young adults. A Pediatric Emergency Care report surveyed participants from 12-18 years of age and found a link between energy drink consumption and side effects like headaches, anger, and difficulty breathing. These beverages contain unusually high levels of caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants that can cause unpleasant physical and behavioral side effects. One popular beverage, Monster’s Mutant Drink, has more than twice the sugar found in a candy bar and over 100 milligrams of caffeine. Looks like those Red Bull wings come with a cost. Know someone with a sugar addiction?
