Recently, there has been a rise in the consumption of energy drinks among young people, leading to serious health consequences. This was reported in an interview on UTRK by Ernis Tilekov, head of the liver surgery department at the National Surgical Center.
According to him, in the past few months, four people have lost their lives due to the consumption of these drinks, and several others are in intensive care.
Tilekov also emphasized that while energy drinks provide a temporary boost of energy, the toxic substances contained in them cause significant harm to vital organs such as the liver, brain, pancreas, and reproductive organs.
“These drinks can temporarily keep you awake, but they cause serious damage to the body. Four people have already died, and several are in critical condition. It is particularly alarming that such a situation is becoming the norm among young people. I believe that legislative measures need to be introduced to counter this trend,” the doctor noted.
Medical professionals urge young people and their parents to exercise caution and refrain from consuming energy drinks.
