Warnings issued vs energy drinks
A rider who was buried last Sunday in Teresa was rumored to have taken 4 energy drinks named after a venomous snake after a a race. He collapsed going home between boundary of Taytay and Antipolo. Another rider whose health suddenly went south since six months ago takes a lot of energy drinks during every ride (again named after another deadly venomous African snake.)
I remember having written about the dangers of energy drink. They contain 4x the concentration of sugar, and 4x caffeine in a bottle. It may set you back only P20.00 and give you a lot of boost but it can stress your heart because of the caffeine and damage your kidney. (The ill kapadyak needs dialysis; therefore his kidney was damaged. He does not have any known disease and therefore the damaged kidney could only be attributed to the energy drink. My brother who owns a mortuary tells of stories of those having fun time with alcoholic drinks dying after they took energy drinks about taking alcohol, They do so because they say there is no hang over after taking energy drink. That is right. They die.
Therefore, before you take an energy drink in your next ride, be careful. Weigh the pros and cons
Top 14 Energy Drink Dangers
Potential risks associated with energy drink consumption include:
- caffeine overdose (which can lead to a number of symptoms, including palpitations, high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, convulsions and, in some cases, even death)
- type 2 diabetes – as high consumption of caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity
- late miscarriages, low birthweight and stillbirths in pregnant women
- neurological and cardiovascular system effects in children and adolescents
- sensation-seeking behaviour
- use and dependence on other harmful substances
- poor dental health
- somewhat ironically, given their association with sportiness, obesity
