Energy drinks and their caffeine content
It is a well-known fact that large amounts of caffeine can affect your health and your heart. Therefore, beware! Many energy drinks - purported to dietary supplements are anything but nutritional. They contain lots of sweeteners - and caffeine. Lots of it.
A recent study by Johns Hopkins scientists reported that many energy drinks could actually contain 5 to 10 times more caffeine than a can of coke or a cup of coffee. However, we consumers do not know it because the actual amount is not reflected on the label.
