Energy Drinks Narrow Blood Vessels within 90 Minutes of Intake

"Researchers have found that within one and half hour of taking an energy drink the internal diameter of the blood vessels is reduced by half on an average. As the blood vessels narrow, the vital blood supply to the organs also reduces and this can lead to several problems – heart attacks and strokes being just two of them. The caffeine and sugar present in such drinks are to blame for this phenomenon say researchers. Thus within 90 minutes of consuming an energy drink, the risk of heart attack in an individual rises find researchers from the University of Texas at Houston." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20181105/Energy-drinks-narrow-blood-vessels-within-90-minutes-of-intake.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1VrUYrvCGEhq0NStDiKHKopJeIym5Gs_9H5n8ID4wuMBsRqmd_1jmM_8I
