[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 231762, member: 43589"] [B]Methods[/B] "Briefly, 25 hearts of female New Zealand White rabbits were explanted and mounted to the Langendorff apparatus." Can what happens in a rabbits heart be dublicated in a human heart? "Several cases of sudden death after ingestion of high amounts of energy drinks have been reported.2 However, the sole intoxication with caffeine does not satisfactorily explain those hazardous events since energy drinks contain 80–200 mg caffeine per serving and the lethal dose is estimated to be around 5–10 g." "Energy drinks usually contain a mixture of different ingredients such as caffeine, taurine, ginseng, or guarana. [B]Therefore, the administration of caffeine or taurine in isolation is just the first step to better understand the electrophysiologic impact of energy drink consumption[/B]." . This study is definitely not definitive proof that taurine combined with caffeine is the cause of A-fib and death however, it is enough evidence to warrent further investigation. We know there are lots of emergency room visits each year because of the abuse of energy drinks so my advice is to be very careful using them and watch for any negative effects on the cardiac system.
