Energy drinks linked to 11x more cardiac arrests: Study

A new study has found that cardiac arrests were reported 11 times more frequently in connection with energy drinks and stimulant-containing supplements than products without these ingredients. Researchers analysed 28,345 adverse-event reports submitted to the US FDA between 2017 and 2025. Adults aged 18-34 accounted for around 45% of reports linking these products to cardiovascular events.
