Almost one in three 12 to 19-year-olds regularly consume the drinks which often contain high levels of caffeine that can be bad for the heart
Energy Drinks and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Review of Current Literature (2017)Η Anais Fournier, δεκατεσσάρων ετών, πέθανε ξαφνικά τον περασμένο Δεκέμβριο από αρρυθμία, που οδήγησε σε καρδιακή ανακοπή. Μέσα σε δύο ημέρες είχε καταναλώσει 2 τέτοια ποτά. Την περασμένη εβδομάδα, η μητέρα της Fournier, Wendy Crossland, κατέθεσε μήνυση εναντίον της εταιρείας ποτών Monster, υποστηρίζοντας ότι η εταιρεία δεν ξεκαθαρίζει τους κινδύνους της κατανάλωσης καφεϊνούχων ενεργειακών ποτών.
Στο πλαίσιο της αίτησης της Crossland για ελευθερία των πληροφοριών, ο FDA δημοσίευσε λεπτομέρειες για άλλες τέσσερις υποθέσεις -συν μια στην οποία σημειώθηκε μη θανατηφόρα καρδιακή προσβολή- οι οποίες φέρονται να συνδέονται με την κατανάλωση των ποτών Monster Energy.

Abstract
Energy drinks (EDs) are commonly used as a dietary supplement by young adolescents and adults. They are often used as a source of energy in order to enhance physical and mental performance. EDs contain a variety of substances, but caffeine is the main component. Safety has been the biggest concern associated with consuming EDs. Case reports, observational studies, and meta-analyses have been done in order to determine the effects of EDs on cardiovascular changes. The detrimental effects of EDs are cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, prolonged QT interval, aortic dissection, and death. In this article, we review case reports, observational studies, and meta-analyses of EDs and the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. We also review active ingredients, pharmacokinetics, and the mechanism of action of EDs.
Keywords: energy drink, cardiovascular diseases, cardiac arrhythmias
. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, dietary supplement ingredients do not require United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Subsequently, the FDA has a limited a role in the regulation of EDs.

London-based cardiologist Assem Malhotra said: “This new research is very concerning. Any excess consumption of stimulants does increase the risk of symptomatic and distressing palpitations for many people and children in particular should be avoiding energy drinks as much as possible especially as they may also trigger sudden cardiac death in vulnerable people. I personally believe energy drinks should be banned for kids.
