Hi everyone,. 

Ive discovered red a new health drink. A friend of mine gave it to me to try it's called OTop. I had issues with my digestive tract and General fatigue as a result of being run down from career and family responsibilities.  I started taking this drink and 3 1/2 weeks in I am very impressed with the progress and results so far.  Bloating, indigestion are gone as well I feel overall great way more energy to the point I don't even need that boost of caffeine when I wake up in the morning.  Just wanted to pass along my great experience in hopes it helps out someone else.

The Dangers of Energy Drinks, by Diane Tavegia (Safety Officer Civil Air Patrol)  March 6, 2011
Studies released the beginning of February brought some shocking news. Strokes in older adult men
dropped 25% while strokes in boys and young men ages 15-34 jumped a whopping 51%!
So what has caused the number of strokes in older adults to drop? Doctors think better prevention,
exercise, a daily aspirin and treatment of conditions such as high blood pressure, clogged arteries and diabetes are contributing to the decline.

Now we come to younger people. Recent studies have shown that causes include obesity, clogged arteries and energy drinks. Yes, Energy Drinks!

Energy drinks can cause a number of health problems. Drinking one small sized can of an energy drink increases the risk of heart attack or stroke for even healthy young people. A young person may show symptoms of cardio-vascular disease one hour after drinking just one can of a Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, Snapple Fire, Power Horse, Atomic Energy, Full Throttle type of energy drink. It actually takes between 3 – 96 hours to rid your body of the harmful ingredients in just one can of an energy drink.

Energy drinks promise to give you wings, yet they interfere with normal, rational thinking. The high
caffeine content in an energy drink increases stress levels, reduces concentration, and hampers the ability to perform complex tasks and problem solving. Drinking a can of an energy drink prior to a test could easily cause you to not perform as well as if you’d had a healthy breakfast and orange juice or milk, instead.

Energy drinks also contain hidden ‘caffeine like’ ingredients such as Taurine. Taurine is known to affect heart function and cause high blood pressure. Herbs such as guarana seeds, kola nuts and Yerba mate leaves include natural caffeine and raise the true caffeine levels in energy drinks. Seizures, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia (unable to sleep), rapid heartbeat, stomach problems are all signs of caffeine poisoning or caffeine intoxication. Oh, and I forgot to add… DEATH!

A research conducted by the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Hospital in Australia tested 30 teen-aged boys one hour before and one hour after consuming one 8 ounce can of Red Bull. These healthy young men developed symptoms of cardiovascular disease that is normally found in 65 year old, unhealthy men! Their blood became ‘sticky’, impairing proper blood vessel function. The plasma in their blood formed crisscross links to become a sticky mesh-like structure. Blood cells can become trapped and form a clot. Clots break free and travel to the brain or lungs and the patient has a stroke.

Allison Hooker RN, Stroke Care Coordinator at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. said,
“We’re seeing many more strokes in young people…. I’d say at least half our patients! Devastating strokes, too”

Only 1% of caffeine is excreted from the body, The other 99% has to be ‘cleaned’ or detoxified by the liver.

Caffeine can easily pass from the mother to an unborn baby, potentially causing severe birth defects. In fact, women who consume energy drinks while pregnant have a 30-40% higher chance of a miscarriage. This was recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Energy drinks promise to give you a boost, but the truth of the matter is, Energy Drinks interfere with
thinking, increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, miscarriage and death. They also increase the blood level of stress hormones. Stress hormones have been proven to put a person at a higher risk for cancer. Energy drinks increase the loss of important minerals, which can eventually cause anemia and bone loss. Energy drinks cause a crashing fatigue and irritability as they ‘wear off’.

When it comes to Energy Drinks, say no! Grab a glass of orange juice instead!
