“…For example, in a nationally representative sample of U.S. middle- and high-school students, significant associations were found between ED frequency and 30-day frequency of use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, or amphetamines ( 32 ). This echoes cross-sectional results among adolescent regular consumers (>1 ED/week) in Europe who were more likely to smoke and drink alcohol compared to non-consumers ( 35 ). Some studies have additionally found evidence for an association between ED consumption and mental health, including stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, plan or attempt ( 33 , 36 , 37 ).…”

“…Energy drinks’ consumption is also associated with other commonly reported health problems such as sleep dissatisfaction, tiredness/fatigue, late bedtime, headaches, and stomachaches and irritation ( 35 , 56 – 59 ). It is likely that many of these general health complaints are attributable to caffeine or sugar content, but additional research needs to be conducted to confirm this, as well as to assess the potential effect of other constituents.…”

As energy drink consumption continues to grow worldwide and within the United States, it is important to critically examine the nutritional content and effects on population health of these beverages. This mini-review summarizes the current scientific evidence on health consequences from energy drink consumption, presents relevant public health challenges, and proposes recommendations to mitigate these issues. Emerging evidence has linked energy drink consumption with a number of negative health consequences such as risk-seeking behaviors, poor mental health, adverse cardiovascular effects, and metabolic, renal, or dental conditions. Despite the consistency in evidence, most studies are of cross-sectional design or focus almost exclusively on the effect of caffeine and sugar, failing to address potentially harmful effects of other ingredients. The negative health effects associated with energy drinks (ED) are compounded by a lack of regulatory oversight and aggressive marketing by the industry toward adolescents. Moreover, the rising trend of mixing ED with alcohol presents a new challenge that researchers and public health practitioners must address further. To curb this growing public health issue, policy makers should consider creating a separate regulatory category for ED, setting an evidence-based upper limit on caffeine, restricting sales of ED, and regulating existing ED marketing strategies, especially among children and adolescents.

“…We used data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia. More detailed information about two-step sampling process and procedure used to acquire this nationally representative sample could be found in our previously published paper [1,31]. In the first step, 140 larger and smaller elementary schools located in rural as well as urban areas from all regions of Slovakia were asked to participate.…”

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poor family support and communication can increase emotional and behavioural problems (EBP). Therefore, we assessed the association of difficult communication with mother and with father separately with both emotional and behavioural problems (EBP), and whether adolescents' communication with mother and with father moderates the association of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) with the EBP of adolescents. Methods: We used data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia, comprising 5202 adolescents aged from 11 to 15 (mean age 13.53; 49.3% boys). EBP were measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. We used generalized linear regression adjusted for age, gender and family affluence to explore the modification of the associations between ACE and EBP by communication (easy vs. difficult communication) with mother and father. Results: Difficult communication or a complete lack of communication due to the absence of mother and father increased the probability of emotional (exp (b): 0.96, 95% CI: 0.92|1.00; and 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91|0.99, respectively) and also of behavioural problems (exp (b): 0.96, 95% CI: 0.92|1.00; and 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90|0.97, respectively). We found a statistically significant interaction of communication with father on the association of ACE with EBP, showing that the joint effects were less than multiplicative. Conclusion: Difficult communication with mother and father is related to EBP among adolescents, and adolescents' communication with father moderates the association of ACE with both emotional and behavioural problems among adolescents.

“…The worldwide consumption of these drinks increased dramatically over the last decade because they have been marketed as a way to improve alertness and to reduce fatigue among adolescent and adults [2] . Negative health effects of short and long term consumption of EDs have been reported as aggressive behavior, low academic achievement, headache, irritation, tiredness and dissatisfaction to sleep [3] .…”

Background: Energy drinks (EDs) consumption has increased dramatically over the past years and several adverse effects have been reported. Sesame oil (SO) is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory dietary source for human health. Aim of Study: The present study was assigned to investigate the possible neuroptotecive role of SO on energy drinksinduced hippocampal damage. Material and Methods: Twenty adult male albino rats were divided into four groups; five rats in each (control, SO, EDs and EDs+SO). Routine histological examination was done, together with toluidine blue stain for dark neurons (DN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining for astrocytes. Gene expression of catalase and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) was analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histomorphometric analysis was done. Results: Histological examination of the hippocampus from EDs group showed shrunken pyramidal and granule cells, vacuolation and large pericellular spaces. There was significant decrease in neuronal thickness, increase in the number of DN and GFAP area percent compared to control group. Significant decrease in catalase gene expression was observed along with increase in TNF-a gene expression. Concomitant SO administration significantly improved the previously mentioned changes. Conclusion: Energy drinks administration induced morphological and morphometric changes, deficient antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response in rat hippocampus. Sesame oil administration alleviated these adverse changes possibly due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
