Energy Drinks bad for your heart

It seems that while some studies have said caffeine is good for your heart this new study says depending on your genes of caffeine is actually bad for your heart. Who is right or does it depend on your genetics? or is a little bit good but excess (4+ cups of coffee) bad?

Caffeine boosts risk of heart attacks in the genetically susceptible

Coffee has numerous health benefits

yeah i know energy drinks aren't coffee, but caffeine is the main ingredient of both.

this new study says depending on your genes alot of caffeine is actually bad for your heart.

Dear Internet,

A lot of people think that 'alot' is some kind of actual word or something.

If 'alot' were a word, there'd probably also be a lot of words like 'alittle,' 'abunch,' 'aninch,' and 'ashitload.'

But do you know what? Not asingle one of these is aword atall.

I apologize, Internet, for bringing this to your attention.

You know what else the internet has alot of people that care more about little grammar mistakes than actual content or larger meaning of articles. So people are very concerned with grammer and spelling (Which spelling isnt that important).

Anyways, it is nice to hear someone that will base how valid a thought is mostly on how well it is presented and less about the actual information. Science gererally is based on fact and well thought out double blind tests, that are repeatable and up for scrutiny, while grammar and spelling is the memorization of an arbitrary set of rules, created with little regards to rules. In grammar in spelling this is exceptions to every rule.

I wonder if you could understand what I wrote above because there is certianly some spelling and grammar errors. I should spell check it, but i just plain don't like having to worry about it.

Bottomline... if I drink 3 XXL Monsters a day... am I gonna have heart conditions?

I realize the sugar and crap is bad as far as being a lard ass, but is the caffeine gonna cause my heart to explode?

drive-by louie is afucking turd. I hate assholes like him who cruise the internet just looking to belittle people. I actually ran into one of those guys when I was selling a car on craigslist! We all know they haven't been laid or even on a date in a real long time.

Coffee is healthy because it has a huge amount of antioxidants, the same stuff that makes red wine good for you. Too much caffeine, just like too much alcohol, is damaging to your body despite the other ingredients that have health benefits.

Posted by: charispina at March 19, 2006 08:15 PM

Yes - the only difference between someone like drive-by louie and idiots that can't spell or use grammar correctly is an education... and maybe a real career.
Just so you can understand:
Your abunch of fools if you think it doesent matter.

have all of you overlooked the fact that energy drinks actually increase your heart rate and metabloism? constant consumption does cause heart problems.. its called HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. one of my good friends now is taking meds for it... shes 15 years old. she used to drink redbull liek fucking water. say it with me now... 'ONLY IN MODERATION'. i like energy drinks personally, but i only have tehm sparingly.
p.s. not a dis. just f.y.i. while you were on this subject. and also, you think you could post a review for vault cola? (surge's littel brother!)

Posted by: Twiggy at March 21, 2006 01:58 AM

How about some chifir (Russian prison tea)? If your heart doesn't explode from this one then you're really made of strong stuff.

Posted by: paige at April 1, 2006 10:02 AM

I think that all people should stop drinking enrgy drinks, because of that, my pastor almost died... he is slowly recovering now, but he would like all to know that it is bad.

Posted by: jamaika at April 24, 2006 04:56 PM

if i drink 1-2 16 ounce energy drinks a day am i gunna get any bad side effects

Posted by: Marty at June 12, 2006 09:52 PM

Everything in moderation. It's a simple rule. Drink one energy drink every once in a while, and you're fine. Drinking three or more every day and you're likely going to end up with problems. Caffeine is okay. Too much caffeine is not good. Simple as that.

I THINK THAT PROTEIN DRINKS ARE BAD FOR YOU, JUST LIKE TO MUCH ALCOHAL IS BAD FOR YOU. SOME STUDIES SAY THAT DRINKING WINE IS GOOD FOR YOU AND THAT IS TRUE BUT TO MUCH IS NOT GOOD. SO THE ONLY WAY A PROTEIN DRINK CAN BE BAD FOR YOU IS IF YOU OVER DO IT!

Posted by: ashleyyy at November 24, 2006 07:37 AM

I THINK ALL YOU PEOPLE SUCK PROTEIN DRINKS ARE THE BOM ADN SO IS ALCOHAL. HAHA

I I'm an Energy_Drink.

I don't cure anything, I just bring Energy. Like coffee but with a kick. Wake you up. You will stay awake for about 6hrs after drinking me. Everything that I contain is good and bad. Please don't mix me with Dietary pills, its a hart attack waiting to happen. Your hart will bet rapidly. it will not explode. It will just stop. if you are pregnant, your baby may come well how do I put this, you will see.....

Other than that, If you need to stay awake, exercise a little better or fuction better, I'm the drink for you. but please dont drink more than 3 a day, or you will see the efect.......

Have fun and enjoy life.

TAURENE, L-CARNITINE, ARGINI, this are common in evergy drinks, but what aret hey?

TAURINE: Allows better glucose deposit in muscles, for more muscle building during extrem exercise.
NOTE: Taurine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. Found in the nervous system and muscles, taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body.

L-CARNITINE: (levocarnitine) is a quaternary ammonium compound synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine and is responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria. It is often sold as a nutritional supplement. Originally found as a growth factor for mealworms and labeled vitamin Bt.
NOTE: The sale of L-carnitine if sold alone as a natural health product is banned in Canada. Any health supplements that list L-carnitine as an ingredient are also banned by Canada's national health ministry

ARGININE: An amino acid that has numerous functions in the body. It helps dispose of ammonia, is used to make compounds in the body such as nitric oxide, creatine, L-glutamate, L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed.
NOTE: In large doses, L-arginine also stimulates the release of hormones growth hormone and prolactin. Also in the body, L-arginine is used to make the compound nitric oxide, which reduces blood vessel stiffness, increases blood flow, and improves blood vessel function.

i don't think kids should drink energy drinks. i watch my nephews do it and i can't believe it. they're only 10 and 8. what would they need energy for. they have enough already. i think that if you want to buy a energy drink you should have to be 13 and older.

Posted by: girlie at April 4, 2007 02:52 PM

If you drink 2 energy drinks a week is that okay??

Posted by: Bob at November 7, 2007 01:19 PM

I drink 6-7 cans every single day. I am going to have to seriously cut it down. I am 26 and i have high blood pressure. One problem is that i am totally addicted to the stuff. I get so crabby if i dont have one first thing in the morning. I have been drinking over 5 cans a day for over 3 years

Posted by: Zoe at November 9, 2007 07:44 AM

My mom said that energy drinks can cause heart attacks. Is this true?

Posted by: jordon at December 17, 2007 11:04 AM

I am a doctor. I will now educate you on the proper use of energy drinks. They are bad for you and should not be used carelessly. The most proper use for energy drinks would be to boost physical endurance and energy levels during moderate to heavy physical activity. Not sitting on the couch eating doritos. Most energy drinks contain 2 servings per can. Consume one serving before activity and the other serving afterwards. Do not consume more than three per day. The average man's blood pressure surges well beyond the threshhold of hypertention (high blood pressure) when lifting heavy weights or other demanding physical activity. You don't need a double dose of heart rate boosting chemicals to speed that up. The most common thing that happens is stroke in people who misuse energy supplements. The blood vessels is the brain will give way long before your heart gives out. Think mental retardation or partial paralys of you're lucky. These things come with instructions for a reason.
