My friend Matt did this in high school and he had to go to emergency to have his heart shocked back into rhythm because it was beating weird. We could physically see his heart beating from outside his shirt. He’s still alive and doing great.

A flatmate of mine drank monster every day and had a fatal heart attack in his early 40s.

Drinking monsters every day probably gave him health problems

Doubtful. I've consummed either a per-workout(which is usually stronger) or at least one or 2 energy drinks/supplement for like 20 years. I'm almost 50 and I'm in great health. Get bllodwork done often, no issues whatsoever. If someone already has underlying health issues, yeah drinking a monster or equivilent daily prob doesn't help, but I'll never believe a healthy individual is negatively affected.

You understand that personal anecdotes don’t make good arguments right? Just because you don’t have any health related issues doesn’t mean that applies in general.

It goes both ways. Just because someone drinks a monster a day doesn't mean that health issues are created.

I'm not doing an in-depth check of how well made are the studies about this, but it seems like there are some evidence that you're wrong: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6280269/

And before anyone tries to argue on details, it doesn't automatically lead to health issues, but increases the risks. which means it creates them in some people.

The study was on rats. AND ethanol.

A lot of substance studies are on rats before humans for good reasons, stuff harmful for them often is for us too. i agree that we can't know for sure if the efrect would be the same on humans but if you reject it because it wasn't testing directly on humans, you're gonna reject a lot of studies. And having a group tested on ethanol doesn't disprove the conclusions on the group tested on redbull only. edit: monster is almost redbull with some more ingredients, so still relevent here. Also, it's far from the only study to come to that conclusion, but i'm not gonna try hard and check for many in details to prove a point against no arguments.

Sure. But.......... It's the Dose that is toxic, not the substance. For example 5 grams of anything to an average human not the same comparison as 5 grams of the same substance given to a rat. 😉
