The first energy drink was known about in 1987 and now found in more than one hundred and forty countries. With the increase in consumption of Energy Drinks (ED) among young adults and adolescents over the last few years and the significant health events, the study aims to show the relationship between energy drinks consumption and health problems, like obesity, heart attack and diabetes mellitus. In 2020, the online survey was developed for Saudi females and the total number was 64. In this study around half of the participants (43%) reported being ED consumers and energy drinks consumption was not scientifically associated with health problems. The finding from this study suggests that there is no relationship between energy drinks consumption and health problems.

Abstract


The first energy drink was known about in 1987 and now found in more than one hundred and forty countries. With the increase in consumption of Energy Drinks (ED) among young adults and adolescents over the last few years and the significant health events, the study aims to show the relationship between energy drinks consumption and health problems, like obesity, heart attack and diabetes mellitus. In 2020, the online survey was developed for Saudi females and the total number was 64. In this study around half of the participants (43%) reported being ED consumers and energy drinks consumption was not scientifically associated with health problems. The finding from this study suggests that there is no relationship between energy drinks consumption and health problems.
