Medical Daily reports that a “case study published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine adds to the evidence that proves energy drinks can be harmful to…cardiovascular health.” The patient in the case study had atrial fibrillation and consumed “320 milligrams of caffeine” in the form of energy drinks, “as well as several beers, each day.” The investigators theorized that energy drinks may “alter heart rhythm and increase blood pressure” not only from caffeine, but from other ingredients in them, such as taurine, or because people mix them with alcohol.
