All energy drinks contain caffeine that is harmful to children.
Energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster Energy drinks contain a certain amount of caffeine, a US survey said this morning. Drinking these things often is not only bad for your health, but also harmful to your children.
According to previous surveys and studies in the American journal Pediatrics, some ingredients in energy drinks are still being studied, and there are no regulations.
The authors of the study point out that children with diabetes, depression and heart, kidney or liver disease may react after drinking energy drinks. These reactions include palpitations, convulsions, cardiac arrest and even death.
Judith Schaechter, author of the study, said 1/3 of children between the ages of 12 and 14 regularly drank drinks containing caffeine, sugar and other additives. A 2007 US survey showed that 46 per cent of the 5448 caffeine overusers reported were under the age of 19.
It is understood that sales of energy drinks reached $6.9 billion in 2009, compared with $6.5 billion in 2008, and although figures for 2010 are not yet available, they are expected to be even higher.
Red Bull responded: the relevant ingredients are in the safe range
A spokesman for Red Bull said this morning that Red Bull is sold in 160 countries around the world. Last year alone, the world consumed 4 billion cans (bottles) of Red Bull. This is mainly because health bureaus of various countries believe that it is safe to drink Red Bull drinks.
In addition, the spokesman said Red Bull drinks and their ingredients are within the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
However, the research expert also pointed out that some energy drinks add far more caffeine than the number indicated on the trademark, such as 40-80 milligrams per gram of GUARANA.
In fact, mainstream energy drinks contain half as much caffeine as the same volume of coffee in cafes, says Maureen Storey, senior vice president of science policy at the American Beverage Association. Young people get twice as much caffeine from coffee as they get from energy drinks of the same size.

Coffee drinkers should pay attention to calcium supplements at the same time.
Chinese people's daily food structure is lack of adequate calcium intake, coupled with the usual lazy exercise, so people who like to drink coffee should pay attention to calcium supplements. In addition, women after menopause, due to the lack of estrogen, drinking coffee will also cause calcium loss. Adults who drink coffee regularly can get 100 milligrams of calcium a day, or at least one glass of milk a day to supplement calcium.
