Energy drinks have been a popular fixture
in many convenience stores across the country.
But many people are unaware of the adverse
health effects that are affecting people throughout
the nation.
My name is Gerard Ryan and I work for Parker
Waichman and I want to talk to you about the
many adverse health effects associated with
energy drinks.
Now, although there’s no warning on the
label, some of these energy drinks contain
upwards of 7 times the amount of caffeine
found in normal soft drinks of the same size.
These adverse health effects have been associated
with energy drinks involve insomnia, heart
attack, high blood pressure, and other effects
that high amounts of caffeine can instill
on the body.
Now, some of the numerous injuries that have
been associated with this drink have been
anything from heart attacks to at least 4
deaths reported across the country.
These deaths have prompted an FDA investigation
into the safety of energy drinks and whether
or not they should be regulated like most
food and drugs in the industry.
A California family has recently filed a wrongful
death lawsuit over the loss of their 14 year
old daughter after she consumed 2 Monster
energy drinks in a period of 24 hours.
Now while the daughter did have a condition
that weakened her blood vessels, the claimant
is saying that the failure of Monster energy
drink to warn her about the dangers of these
overloading of caffeine lead to her untimely
death.
So why am I telling you about this and why
