“…Results from the Monitoring the Future study found that among 22,000 U.S. secondary school students surveyed, 30 % reported using energetic drinks. The consumption frequency is concerning due to serious side effects associated with caffeine intake such as heart palpitations, hypertension, nausea and vomiting and in some rare cases even death (Sather et al, 2016;Terry-McElrath, et al, 2014). Of the carbonated sodas evaluated in this work, the highest caffeine concentration was found in Red Bull.…”

Caffeine is odorless, bitter taste substance which can be naturally found in coffee, cocoa, tea leaves, and is intentionally added in food and pharmaceutical products. It can also be found in surface water in small concentrations where is often used as an excellent indicator of human waste. The aim of the work is determination of caffeine content in food, beverages, analgesics and surface water using solidphase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Caffeine content was determined in 12 commercial tea and coffee products, non-alcoholic energy drinks and food, 5 combined preparations of analgesics and the Danube samples collected from 7 representative locations. The results showed that caffeine content in food ranged 5,6-158 mg/100 g, tea samples 24,71-30,81 mg/100 ml, coffee samples 1328-3594 mg/100 g, energy drinks 9,69-30,79 mg/100 ml and in the Danube samples 15,91-306,12 ng/l. Caffeine content in combined commercial formulations of non-narcotic analgesics of all brands did meet specifications. The data suggested that the proposed HPLC method can be used for routine determination and control of caffeine content in different matrices.

“…Regarding energy drinks, there is evidence that the age at first use predicts future risks. A longitudinal study with young American military officers pointed to the age range between 13 and 16 years as critical, suggesting that adolescents who begin consumption during this period become more likely to consume larger quantities of the product in isolated episodes than those who started consumption after the 20 years (Sather et al, 2016). Furthermore, new associations have been found between frequent ED consumption with alcohol by adolescents and a greater risk of developing alcohol dependence in adulthood (Arria et al, 2011).…”

This scoping review aimed to identify empirical studies that have explored the use of energy drink consumption among adolescents and young adults. Method: A scoping review search was conducted in the following five databases: PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, Scopus, and Psycnet. Some inclusion criteria, such as being published in the last 10 years, and exclusion criteria, such as article type, animal-model usage, and age, were used to select the studies, and 11 were analyzed independently. Results: The results showed that adolescents use energy drinks for many factors, such as connection with peers and family, propaganda, and taste. Some studies have been developed in Australia and the United States of America, and some have explored other variables associated with energy drinks and alcohol use. Conclusion: It is essential to understand how energy drink consumption and behaviors are related to health or risky behavior and its associations with other drugs. More research is needed to explore the long-term health impacts of energy drink consumption during the critical developmental periods of childhood and adolescence, as well as its association with alcohol and other substances. The findings underline the importance of stringent regulations, public health policies, and educational initiatives to mitigate the risks associated with energy drink consumption among adolescents. Future research is essential to understand the long-term implications and develop effective preventive strategies to safeguard adolescent health and well-being.

“…They tended to have lower income and education levels, tended to be single, use illicit drugs, smoke tobacco products and/or cannabinoid products, and engage in high-risk taking behavior 40,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] . Other increased high-risk behaviors associated with AMED consumption include unprotected sex, and driving while intoxicated 39,[43][44][45][46][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] . These differences between AMED and alcohol-only consumers may be caused by differences in underlying personality characteristics between the groups (such as risk-taking behavior) The results showed that consumption of Red Bull and Suso Orange were associated with an early sustained rise in blood glucose, which was augmented by Red Bull (p=0.02).…”

Energy drinks (EDs) are a brand of non-alcoholic beverages that are typically distinguished from regular sweetened caloric beverages (SCBs) by their augmented carbohydrate and purine alkaloids/methylxanthines (usually either caffeine; 1,3,7 trimethylxanthine and/or theobromine; 3,7 dimethylxanthine) content touted as being able to boost energy levels. At initial inception they were dominantly consumed by young adults (with an initial strong male preponderance) but in the last few decades as their variety, main-stream acceptance and widespread marketing has increased their appeal and consumption has become widespread and virtually universal to the general population including virtually all age, gender and ethno-racial demographics. With increased widespread consumption concerns regarding their safety and potential impact on long term health have started being raised. This is particularly pertinent as their regulatory oversight and monitoring is often presently minimal. Diabetes and Obesity represent two dominant halves of the global diabesity epidemic that afflicts over 650 million adults worldwide with over 40% of the adult population in the United States affected. The well documented cardiometabolic spectrum (CMS) of diseases that are associated comorbidities of diabesity are well documented and it is inevitable that the increasing consumption of EDs would involve these group of persons in adult, geriatric, adolescent and even pediatric populations. This review summarizes and synthesizes the limited published data on the described and potential health impact of EDs use particularly in persons with and/or at risk for diabetes, obesity and other CMS diseases to make the case for need of more careful study, monitoring and scrutiny of the use of these beverages in these group of persons. After providing an overview of the history, epidemiology and major components of EDs we detail the major potential and reported systemic complications of their long-term intake especially in at risk populations discussing the modulating effects of genetics, present comorbidities and alcohol co-intake. The prominent roles of caffeine and carbohydrates in the potential poly-systemic effects of EDs and their reported toxidromes is also highlighted while acknowledging the limitations in the present body of published data in this area.
