I'm Gabe Garza with today's health news.
Many teens routinely drink energy drinks.
For those who have had a head injury, that
may be a problem.
In a new study, researchers from St. Michael’s
Hospital in Canada, studied teens who had
previously had a traumatic brain injury or
TBI.
They found that teens who had a TBI within
the past year were much more likely to drink
caffeine-laden energy drinks than those without
a TBI.
Researchers went on to say that energy drinks
change the chemical state of the body, which
can prevent people from getting back on track
after a TBI.
Speak with your child's pediatrician about
your child consuming energy drinks, and any
health issues they may have.
