Red Bull drink banned in certain countries !








My favorite drink for long distance driving now under probe.

Red Bull drink is one of my favorite drink especially when I need to keep alert and awake for long distance driving.

However, a recent report in The Star newspaper on Saturday, drew my attention and concern.

"Red Bull may claim to “give you wings” but drinking too much of the popular energy drink may also lead to heart damage, a study suggests. ..
Using tests to measure blood pressure and the state of blood vessels around the body, the Australian researchers said that after drinking one can participants had shown a cardiovascular profile similar to that of someone with heart disease. ..
An estimated 330 million litres of energy drinks were consumed in Britain last year, a market worth £1 billion. However Red Bull is banned in countries such as Norway, Uruguay and Denmark because of health fears. .. .." The Star

Would you drink something that you are unsure of and knowing that it is already banned in some developed countries?

Think about this.
