Drinking sugary caffeinated energy drinks is more dangerous that caffeine alone, a research study claims. A research study found that consuming four cans of energy drinks resulted in an increase in blood pressure within two hours.
Researchers discovered that drinking 32 ounces, or about a liter, of any commercially-available energy drinks, resulted in a massive change in the heart rate and blood pressure.
Each of energy drinks available commercially is packed with 108 grams of sugar and 320 mg of caffeine. Most experts agree that the maximum caffeine an adult should consume is about 400 mg. Energy drinks also contain “natural substances” such as taurine, ginseng, and carnitine.
According to Daily Mail, the research study found that the impact from drinking a non-sugar caffeinated beverage, such as coffee, didn’t have such an effect on the heart.
“We decided to study energy drinks’ potential heart health impact because previous research has shown 75 percent of the base’s military personnel have consumed an energy drink,” Dr. Emily Fletcher revealed.
