New York: (RightNow) American health experts have warned that energy drinks can pose serious health risks to children and adolescents. In some cases, the consumption of these drinks can even be life-threatening.

According to news agencies, the high caffeine content in energy drinks can lead to irregular heartbeats, increased blood pressure, sleep disturbances, and seizures.

Experts state that a single serving of some energy drinks contains 80 to 300 milligrams of caffeine, which can affect children’s nervous system and heart health.

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises children and adolescents to completely avoid energy drinks to ensure their health remains safe.

It is important to note that there is a difference between energy drinks and sports drinks, as sports drinks are used to replenish water and electrolytes in the body.
