If you enjoy drinking energy drinks to stay awake or mixing it with alcohol, a new study has proved a link between energy drink consumption and adverse heart reactions.
According to the researchers at The University of Adelaide, drinking more than 2 energy drinks per day is linked to heart problems such as heart palpitations, chest pain and an accelerated heart beat.
The survey included 60 patients between the ages of 13 and 40 who attended an emergency department in SA with heart palpitations. The study showed that 36 per cent had consumed at least 1 energy drink during the previous 24 hours.
