- Americans are consuming more energy drinks, with a notable increase among young adults, survey data show.
Furthermore, ingredients in some of the drinks - such as guarana and taurine - are so poorly studied it's hard to say whether they're safe in large quantities. The increase was less pronounced for adolescents, whose energy drink consumption rose from 0.2per cent in the earlier survey to 1.4per cent in the later one, and for middle aged Americans, whose consumption rose from 0per cent to 1.2per cent.
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.
