Americans are consuming more energy drinks, with a notable increase among young adults, survey data show
- .
Beyond the caffeine,"people who drink energy drinks consume approximately 200 calories from these beverages daily, which is considerably higher than other sugary beverages like soda," Sara Bleich at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston told Reuters Health. As part of the surveys, participants were asked to recall what beverages they had consumed in the previous 24 hours.The increase was less pronounced for adolescents, whose energy drink consumption rose from 0.2% in the earlier survey to 1.4% in the later one, and for middle aged Americans, whose consumption rose from 0% to 1.2%.
For adults, caffeine in doses up to 400 mg is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, although some people are sensitive to lower doses. Higher amounts can cause health effects like high blood pressure, insomnia, irregular heartbeats and other problems.
