Kathy how do you verify your claims? You state that “Nothing has been found to have caused this episode medically. So the rationale would be combination of Energy drink + dehydration + exertion + bottoming out effect + mixing with her medications.” When this would show through medical testing, dehydration has a number of symptoms both short and long term on the human body, it would appear that your stand point comes not from a medical perspective but from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with medical protocols.

I would like to see more research done on the effects of energy drinks on teenagers. I feel energy drinks can have a significant effect on a teenagers body that could cause death or health problems later in life. The conbination of dehydration + exertion + Energy drinks can be harmful when the Energy drink’s “high” is gone you “bottom out” which in turn could be very dangerous especially if you are on medications.
My Niece almost lost her life, but luckily was found by her parents in time that CPR brought her back with no ill effects. Nothing has been found to have caused this episode medically. So the rationale would be combination of Energy drink + dehydration + exertion + bottoming out effect + mixing with her medications.
More research should be done on Energy drinks and medications to inform the public of the dangers of mixing the two. I also feel the public should be taught how Energy drinks should be consumed, what the intended purpose or gain of using these products, and the intended target group of users should be. Many are not eating and then drinking these drinks making metabolic changes in their bodies that may be causing heart arrthymias.

Of course they work. Remember the very first energy drink. Gatorade? If it wasn’t for every major sport I can think of actually using the product I’m sure we wouldn’t see the hundreds of energy drink products we see today.

I’m doing an experiment on the effects of energy drinks on the human heart rate in relation to an athletes performance! What else can you tell me about this topic? Anything would help.

Comment to Nick – As the author, I would like to thank you for pointing this out to me. You are indeed correct, and that sentence was poorly worded and your correction should be the correct way. As for the other comments on here, well I think the less said about them the better!

degan: The sentence is grammatically incorrect. No sentence should ever begin with a number in English. The publisher/author should have written the sentence as “Nine males completed the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Protocol (LIST…”

The period was for the previous sentence and not “. 9″
