This man drank an energy drink every day, he was in good health, did not drink or smoke was only in his 40s. I am leery about some of these claims about supplemens, energy drinks etc.



A California widow is convinced her husband was killed by his once-a-day energy drink habit — claiming a doctor told her they are “like playing Russian roulette with your life,” according to an interview.

Cassondra Reynolds, 49, had been forced to switch off life support for her husband John — the 41-year-old father of their three young kids — when he was left in a coma in 2011 following a heart attack at home.

She is so convinced that the nightly energy drink he supped during his night shifts are to blame that she has now started an awareness group to highlight the possible hidden dangers.

“John was healthy, he worked out every day, he had had a full physical examination the month prior and all his results came back fine,” she told The Sun of the dad who did not drink or smoke.

Doctors initially assumed he must have had a history of diabetes — which he did not — because his sugar levels were “sky high” after his heart attack at home, according to the widow from Rancho Santa Margarita.

So Liz - is there an indication of the ingredients in the energy drink and the quantities of same... or the name of the energy drink so those can be viewed online? Typically, energy drinks contain high amounts of caffeine so that, alone, would be a tip-off about relative safety or adverse (stimulatory) effects for most individuals.

I read this on Drudge, the woman did not give any ingredients. But, you are correct a lot of these energy drinks have a lot of caffeine in them, I remember reading about a few deaths from these so-called energy drinks many years ago and as I recall the drink was 'Red Bull".

I literally don't understand how people drink those things. I tasted one once just to see what the hype was. I didn't didn't swallow it because I refuse to put that crap on my body but also because it tasted terrible.
I don't even know how people drink coffee all the time.
