Love to have Energy Drink? Then your life is at risk. Yes, according to the recent survey conducted by Michael Cusimano, neurosurgeon at St. Michale’s Hospital in Ontario, Canada suggests that teenagers who are in taking energy drinks are more likely suffering from traumatic brain injuries.
"We have found a link between increased brain injuries and the consumption of energy drinks or energy drinks mixed with alcohol," said the researcher.
It was found that the teenagers who reported the TBI within the past year were more likely to consume the drink twice mixed with alcohol than those who reported sustaining a TBI more than a year ago.
Robert Mann, senior scientist at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, “It is particularly concerning to see that teens who report a recent TBI are also twice as likely to report consuming energy drinks mixed with alcohol.”
The research was conducted over more than 10,000 students aged within 11 to 20 in Ontario 2013. “Energy drinks, such a Red Bull and Rockstar, contain high levels of caffeine and change the chemical state of the body, which can prevent people from getting back on track after a TBI,” Cusimano said.
