Are Energy Drinks Linked To Suicidal Thoughts In Children?

According to a study conducted by Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health at Teesside University, and Newcastle University in the UK, energy drinks are linked to suicidal thoughts in children.

According to new research, there may be more danger to children’s and young people’s brains from energy drinks than previously believed.

Anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and suicidal thoughts were among the mental health issues that people who drank energy drinks were found to be more likely to experience, according to a study conducted by Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health at Teesside University, and Newcastle University in the UK. The Public Health Journal published it last month.

To reach their conclusions, researchers claimed to have examined data from 57 studies involving over 1.2 million adolescents and young adults from more than 21 different nations.

While “many studies” indicated a relationship between energy drink use and alcohol usage, binge drinking, smoking, and other substance use, it was discovered that guys consumed more energy drinks than girls.
