Coffee Course

What’s the difference (apart the price of course) between a cup of Coffee and a can of Red Bull?

Red Bull contains taurine, – an amino acid – glucuronolactone, caffeine, B vitamins, sucrose and glucose. Red Bull sugar-free also contains phenylalanine (Equal) in place of sucrose and glucose.

The results of a study conducted in 2008 showed that the ingestion of one, 250ml can of sugar-free Red Bull, in a sample of 30 healthy young adults, had an immediate detrimental effect on both endothelial function, and normal blood coagulation. This temporarily raised the cardiovascular risk in these individuals to a level comparable to that of an individual with established coronary artery disease.[8]

If you must have caffeine, try drinking tea. I don’t believe it’s ever killed anyone.
Based on their results, researchers involved with the study cautioned against the consumption of Red Bull in individuals under stress, in those with high blood pressure, or in anyone with established atherosclerotic disease.[19] Red Bull representatives, however, stated that this observed increase in cardiovascular risk was not felt to be different from that associated with drinking a regular cup of coffee. They also stated that they believed that Red Bull must be safe, as it was felt the only way Red Bull could have such substantial global sales is if various health authorities had concluded the drink safe to consume.

There has been at least one case report of Red Bull overdose causing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in a young athlete.[20] A February 3, 2009 article in The Daily Telegraph called, “Red Bull ‘may have triggered heart condition that killed student’” reported on the death of a 21 year-old woman who died after drinking four cans of Red Bull as well as alcohol at “social levels”.[21] It was believed, but had not been proven, that she suffered from a rare heart condition called long QT Syndrome.[21] She was on medication for epilepsy. A medical examination found that there were no illegal drugs in her system. The article quoted a doctor as saying, “The QT levels may have grown over a few years, or it may have been artificially pushed over the limit by caffeine”.[22]
