Red Bull Dangers
Is red bull bad for you? Yes!
Red Bull, the popular energy drink, increases the risk of stroke. This is according to a group of Australian researchers who looked into the effects of Red Bull on the human heart.
They analyzed the effects of the drink on the cardiovascular systems of 30 young adults after drinking one can of Red Bull.
The drink causes the blood to become “sticky,” which increases the probability of developing cardiovascular disease.
What’s especially worrying is that these symptoms were noticed in people who were healthy, having no history of cardiovascular disease.
Lead researcher, Scott Wiloughby, said that if you have any history or predisposition to cardiovascular disease, you should stop drinking Red Bull.
As a matter of fact, stop drinking all energy drinks. They are rich in stimulants that can cause some very serious health affects. For this reason Red Bull is banned in Denmark, Norway and Uruguay.
An earlier study by researchers from Wayne State University found that Red Bull and other energy drinks elevate blood pressure to dangerous levels for those with pre-existing heart conditions.
