Energy drink controversy

The energy drink controversy revolves around concerns that high levels of caffeine and added stimulants may pose health risks, especially for teenagers and young adults. Critics worry these drinks can cause increased heart rate, high blood pressure, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and in some cases, more severe health issues. Additionally, inconsistent labeling and aggressive marketing can lead to overconsumption among vulnerable groups. While some see energy drinks as a quick boost of energy, health experts urge moderation and clearer regulations to protect consumers from potential adverse effects associated with excessive intake.
