Then they should drink milk or water or something that specifically states it’s caffeine free.
This Dr. Is mostly misinformed! Caffeine does not trigger a deadly arrhythmia! It may accelerate your heart rate but it may not! To blame this girl's death immediately on Caffeine is misplaced and not based on Medical evidence. This is about placing blame and getting paid? People with Long QT can die suddenly without provacation!
I had to cut out caffine when i had my mild stroke. Makes my heart race like a nascar racing car.
Caffeine needs to be regulated.
As someone with the same condition, this is frightening
OMG! I have a heart problem and I tried to stay away from caffeine.
It's not consumer's fault. It's literally redbull pretended to be lemonade. It's this company's policy of relying on selling caffined beverage for market growth that causes her death.
400 is Pedro Pascal's style… 😂
Blame family
Oh my im sticking to tea milk,coffee water.
It's dangerous to consume energy drinks when you're tired but I had to do that sometimes in college before big exams
Uh huh. So this thing that I’ve never heard of in 48 years (my family has medical history of arrhythmia and lots of documented cases and history), is suddenly a “huge health risk”…. Right. Blow it out your nBC.
Just wow
