The scary truth about energy drinks

Energy drinks have seen a rise in popularity over the past decade. In fact, we are now consuming more than double the amount we were 10 years ago. In fact, around a quarter of beverages sold in Australian convenience stores today are energy drinks.

What’s troubling about this statistic is that energy drinks are incredibly bad for your health, with high levels of caffeine (up to 200mg per serve). Since most brands are aimed at younger people, it is not uncommon for them to consume multiple drinks in a short space of time. This can lead to:

  • insomnia
  • nervousness
  • vomiting
  • headaches
  • heart palpitations
  • rapid heart rate
  • and in some cases heart attack, and death!

In 2014, a 35 year old Perth man suffered a massive heart attack and died, from drinking 4 cans of Mother a day. Read story

Energy drinks can also contain up to 20 teaspoons of sugar per serve, which is more than Coke! High intake of sugar leads to:

  • weight gain
  • increased risk of diabetes
  • high blood pressure
  • kidney disease
  • cognitive decline
  • cavities
  • and a range of other health issues

Even one energy drink a week is enough to cause health problems, and this is reason enough to eliminate them from your diet…totally!
