but first presents a man drink energy
drinks every day this is what happened
to him while Mandrake energy drinks
every day this is what happened to him
Dean Warren B was a professional
bodybuilder in order to keep his amazing
physique he had to consume 10,000
calories every day which was necessary
to keep up his muscle mass most of his
meals consisted of high-calorie fat
filled unhealthy food when he died
people thought that it was his diet that
killed him however it turns out it was
energy drinks energy drinks are one of
the most popular beverages on the market
and they're sold all over the world
they're so popular because they can give
you a quick boost of energy while
helping you to concentrate many people
drink a few energy drinks a week some
enjoy one a day Dean took his love for
energy drinks way too far by drinking
two energy drinks per hour while he
worked out in the beginning the energy
drinks were working wonders for Dean in
the gym not only did they help him focus
on his workouts he also got the energy
that he needed while he was in the gym
training sadly Dean was diagnosed with
cancer some people thought that it was
almost a blessing because he would be
able to stop all of his bad habits at
first he started eating healthy and he
gave up the energy drinks after going
through treatment his doctors told him
that his tumors were beginning to shrink
and disappear when he heard that he
started eating fast food again and
drinking several energy drinks each day
because he went back to his old ways he
found out he had liver cancer again at
first he didn't think that it was his
bad habits that had anything to do with
his cancer diagnosis when doctors told
him that his bad habits and his energy
drink consumption destroyed his liver
and also created cancer cells it was
then that he realized that he was
responsible for his bleak prognosis
sadly Dean was not able to beat the
cancer the second time and he passed
away he left behind a wife and a
daughter who were devastated when he
passed what are the reasons that
overconsumption of energy drinks is so
dangerous is it contains niacin this
ingredient is known to cause severe
damage to the liver it could even cause
your liver to fail
an average energy drink can contain up
to 40 milligrams of niacin it's this
ingredient that doctors believe is what
cost Dean his life Dean isn't the only
sad story involving energy drinks a man
went to the hospital believing he had
the flu when the doctors examined him
they discovered that he was developing
jaundice and they knew that what he had
was not the flu he was diagnosed with
hepatitis which is an inflammation of
the liver this condition can lead to
liver failure or cancer the doctors
asked him if he had any family history
of liver problems and he told them no
when he did tell them though is that he
was drinking at least two energy drinks
every day for years the doctors couldn't
prove that his energy drink consumption
was because what they did suspect it
it's especially because they saw a woman
who had hepatitis and she admitted to
drinking several energy drinks each day
as well if you do love your energy
drinks the good news is that there are
healthy alternatives that will still
give you energy one great alternative is
coconut water not only is this drink
refreshing and it'll quench your thirst
it also contains natural sugar and
electrolytes that will give you a boost
of energy without worrying about that
midday crash another great alternative
is a banana and wheatgrass smoothies
bananas are rich in fiber and they're
loaded with potassium the wheatgrass
helps to build red blood cells which are
responsible for transferring oxygen
through your body these energy drink
alternatives are all-natural and they
won't cause damage to your body best of
all they'll give you the boost of energy
that you're looking for to get through
your workout or through your workday if
you frequently consume energy drinks the
worst thing you can do is live in denial
there are many people who have the it
won't happen to me attitude these are
the people who end up getting sick the
next time you go to the store and you're
about to buy an energy drink think about
Dean and all of the pain that he went
through before he passed away
also think about his wife and his
daughter who had the mourn his death if
his story doesn't resonate enough think
about the man that walked into the
hospital believing he had the flu or the
woman who drank two energy drinks a day
for two years these people suffered
needlessly just for a quick pick-me-up
as of now the Food and Drug
Administration is not bad
the consumption of energy drinks in the
United States there are many people who
believe it's only a matter of time
before they do subscribe for more
