Energy drinks linked to hepatitis in new case study
medicalnewstoday.com
Although energy drinks are often perceived as harmless, a new case report links the beverages to liver damage, after a previously healthy man developed hepatitis from consuming too many.
In the United States, most energy drinks are consumed by young males between 18-34 years of age. Almost one third of teenagers between 12-17 years old consume energy drinks regularly, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).
Between 2007-2011, the number of energy drink-related emergency department visits in the U.S. doubled. Main concerns regard the combined use of energy drinks with alcohol, which leads to excessive binge drinking.
As for the contents of an energy drink, it is believed that caffeine and sugar pose the greatest threat to consumers' health.
According to a new case report, however, there may be something in energy drinks that can cause liver damage.
