6.Energy drinks can cause heart problems in healthy teenagers,scientists fear.Researchers are urging doctors,parents and teachers to monitor children's drinking more closely because marketing them as relieving tiredness and providing physical and mental power ignores major concerns.Dr Fabian Sanchis-Gomar,of Octubre Hospital,Madrid,and his colleagues said the drinks that have gained popularity among 10to 19-year-olds can trigger sudden heart attacks in young,apparently healthy people.
Previous experiments has shown energy drinks high in caffeine (咖啡因) change the way the heart beats and could increase the risk of potentially deadly heart rhythm problems.In healthy adults who consumed the drinks,the left ventricle-which pumps blood around the body-was contracting harder,and still doing so an hour later.
Energy drinks often contain high amounts of labeled caffeine but can also contain"masked"caffeine in the form of guarana,for example,which comes from a Brazilian plant and is identical to caffeine found in coffee beans.Although caffeine is widely used and generally regarded as safe,serious harmful effects have been reported,especially when consumed in larger amount,said the researchers.
"It is important for physicians to understand the lack of regulation in caffeine content and other ingredients of these high energy drinks and their harms.And parents and children should be educated about the risks and the potential development of anxiety and fears coming with drinking large amounts of energy drinks."
Dr Sanchis-Gomar's team's advice was that one can (250mL) of an energy drink a day is safe for most healthy adolescents,but consumption before or during sports practice should be avoided.
