RED BULL Inspiring - a heart attack and stroke?

Even a very persuasive advertising can be questioned. What did a group of Australian doctors, isssledovavshaya properties stimulating the energy drink Red Bull.
This supersaturated caffeinated beverage, popular with university students and avid sports fans, increases blood viscosity. Tests have shown that the use of only one jar may increase the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke, even among young people.
The researchers examined the functional state of the cardiovascular system in 30 young people for 1 hour before and 1 hour after consuming one 250-milliliter jars drink Red Bull, does not contain sugar. The results showed that in healthy individuals after consuming the drink watch the development of symptoms, which are mainly characterized for cardiovascular disease.
Doctors warn that Red Bull could potentially lead to death against a background of stress disorders or high blood pressure, vascular dysfunction and increased risk of thrombosis.
Officials of the company «Red Bull Australia» agreed to submit the results of this study to the central office in Austria, but also emphasize that the findings of Australian doctors are too categorical.
It really confused. On the one hand, drink Red Bull is banned for sale in Norway, Uruguay and Denmark because of health warnings appearing on the packaging. But on the other hand, sales last year amounted to 3.5 billion cans in 143 countries.
Thus in one jar beverage contains 80 mg of caffeine - about the same as in a normal cup of coffee custard. It is on this basis, the manufacturer claims that the changes in the body after taking the Red Bull did not differ from those when using a cup of coffee and do not exceed the physiological norm.
 
Nevertheless, a company representative Linda Richter warns potential buyers referred to drink from drinking more than two cans a day. But the doubt as, in her words, do not have: a huge volume of beverage sales throughout the world due to including a certified medical services for his safety for consumers.
