UK Man Suffers Stroke and Lasting Damage After Consuming Eight Energy Drinks Daily
A healthy 54-year-old warehouse worker from Nottingham suffered a stroke after consuming eight energy drinks daily, totaling 1,280mg of caffeine - three times the recommended limit. Doctors published his case in BMJ Case Reports, warning of cardiovascular risks from energy drinks. Despite recovery, the man still experiences numbness in his left hand and foot eight years later. His blood pressure normalized within weeks of stopping consumption.
