Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks, such as Monster, Red Bull and Rock Star, potentially causing seizures1, heart problems and other life-threatening conditions, according to the findings of new research.

最新研究成果表明，市面上流行的能量饮料会给孩子的身体健康带来极大风险。饮用诸如怪兽、红牛、摇滚明星之类的能量饮料可能会引起癫痫、心脏病以及其他致命的疾病。
 
More than 5,000 calls involving problems with energy drinks were received by Poison Control Centers in the United States between October 2010 and September 2013, with more than 40% of the calls involving children under the age of 6 who drank Monster or another similar product without realizing what it was.
 
During a presentation at the annual Cardiac Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA), researchers warned about the risk of allowing young children access to the controversial energy drinks, which contain high amounts of caffeine and other stimulants2.
 
Researchers analyzed3 reports involving energy drink problems among children from the National Poison Data System, which compiles information on calls to 55 Poison Control Centers throughout the United States. About one-third of the calls involving children involved serious adverse4 events that required further treatment, including seizures, nausea5, vomiting6, chest pain and erratic7 heart rhythms.
 
Nearly 60% of cases involved cardiovascular side effects, causing symptoms like abnormal heart rhythms and conduction abnormalities.
