Energy drinks pose health risks for small group of teenagers

Of the more than 1.2 million Dutch young people between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old, 1 to 2 percent regularly drinks three or more cans of energy drinks per day. These drinks contain caffeine, taurine and D-glucuronolactone. Those who ingest too many of these substances may experience symptoms such as heart palpitations and dizziness. This is shown by research by RIVM.
