Heart health impact of energy drinks compared to other caffeinated beverages


April 28, 2017

A new study in Journal of the American Heart Association, reveals that drinking 32 ounces of an energy drink with 320 milligrams (mg) of caffeine results in intense changes in the electrical activity of the heart and in blood pressure, compared with drinking 32 ounces of a control drink with the same amount of caffeine in it.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration state that 400 mg of caffeine in about four or five doses a day is safe for healthy adults. However commercially available energy drinks often contain proprietary energy blends along with caffeine. The researchers said that with the availability of more than 500 energy drink types in the market and with an increasing trend of energy drink-related emergencies and deaths, questions arise about the safety associated with such drinks.
