Energy drinks may cause seizures in those who suffer from certain forms of epilepsy due to the "crash" following the energy high that occurs after consumption!. France banned the popular energy drink Red Bull after the death of eighteen-year-old athlete Ross Cooney, who died after he played a basketball game after consuming four cans of the drink!.The French Scientific Committee (J!.D!. Birkel) concluded that Red Bull has excessive amounts of caffeine!.Denmark also banned Red Bull!. Britain investigated the drink, but only issued a warning against its use by pregnant women!.Consumption of large amounts of caffeine can be hazardous!. Energy drinks contain caffeine ranging from 80 to 360 mgs per drink!. According to a recent study, an adult can consume up to 400 mgs per day without adverse health effects, while children and women of reproductive age should limit their consumption of caffeine to 300 mg per day!. also ask him/her to view the video title "ENERGY DRINKS ALMOST KILLED ME!!!!" at www!.youtube!.comWww@FoodAQ@Com
Caffeine, sugar, chemicals, corn syrup, phosphoric acid!. To name a few!. I can not begin to tell you how bad these are for you, which is precisely why he is addicted!. Phosphoric acid leaches calcium from your bones to equalize the acid in the blood stream, and the spikes in blood sugar wreaks havoc on your pancreas!. They can also cause migraines and blood pressure problems!.
I would suggest convincing him to wean himself off of them slowly!.
Ask him to reduce his consumption by one can a day (if he drinks an average of 3 for example, reduce to 2)!. Do this for about a week and then reduce again!. Replace the drink with water or a green tea (can make this cold if you don't like hot tea)!. I sweeten mine with stevia!. Good earth makes an awesome tea that is wonderful--their original sweet and spicy--!.
Have him start a good multi vitamin at the same time so he doesn't miss the vitamin boost!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
