A recent study of statistical data shows an alarming new trend. More than half of calls made to the United States poison control centers regarding energy drinks - such as Red Bull and Monster - are in response to children under the age of six; some actually suffering from serious adverse reactions like seizure and heart problems. This new study further confirms that notion that young children should never drink energy drinks under any circumstances. Study author, pediatrician Dr. Steven Lipshultz is the pediatrician-in-chief at Children's Hospital of Michigan. He is also chairman of pediatrics at Wayne State University. "Exposure to energy drinks is a continuing health problem," Lipshultz argues. "You normally think of teens and young adults as most likely to drink them, but we found that about half of the calls to the national poison control data system for caffeinated energy drinks related to unintentional exposure for children less than 6."
