Just one energy drink can cause "serious
heart conditions"
Just one energy drink, designed to increase stamina and improve
physical performance
, can cause 'serious heart conditions,' according to a new
study.
According to Adelaide Now, the study has prompted Australian
Medical Association state president Dr Andrew Lavender to warn
people to limit their consumption of energy drinks to one a day
until further urgent research into long-term consumption of the
drinks is complete.
The study by the University of Adelaide, Royal Adelaide Hospital
and Cardiovascular Research Centre, found 'common energy drinks
do trigger significant changes, including a rise in blood
pressure, increased stickiness of blood and decreased blood
vessel function'.
"These measures could potentially lead to serious heart
conditions in otherwise fit and healthy individuals,"
News.com.au quoted study author and Physiology Senior Research
Officer Dr Scott Willoughby as saying.he study has been
published in the prestigious American Journal of Medicine. (ANI)
