Energy drink health risks
To combat the rising levels of childhood obesity, the UK government has recently introduced levies such as a sugar tax. Additionally, in 2018 the government announced that it would be banning the sale of energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster to children under the age of 16. Recent published reports have also highlighted other health risks associated with energy drinks, such as high blood pressure, anxiety and insomnia.
