Abstract
Description
Energy drinks (ED) are commercially available over-the-counter beverages with high caffeine content that promote energy, including mental activity and physical performance. More than 50 brands of energy drinks are available in grocery stores, food centers, beverage stores, and online. . There is insufficient information on the negative effects of ED on the human body
According to scientists, a few cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury resulting from excessive consumption of ED may even lead to death or urgent liver transplantation. The components of ED that cause liver damage are not clear, and it is clear that caffeine itself does not cause liver damage. Caffeine can damage the developing nervous system in children. The child becomes capricious, impressionable, quickly tired, daytime and nighttime sleep is disturbed.
Thus, ED overdose has been associated with several cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury, which may be severe and lead to death or urgent liver transplantation.
