Yowazzup: A Directory of Happening Things

Supermarket shelf-stacker Alfredo Duran, 40, suffered a fatal heart attack which may have been caused by drinking too many cans of the energy drink Red Bull. He is thought to have consumed as many as four cans of the caffeinated drink each night.

He died from a cardiac arrest after collapsing at the Asda store, his workplace.

Each 250ml can of Red Bull is said to contain 80mg of caffeine — the same amount as a cup of filter coffee — and sales of the drink have been banned in some countries.

A postmortem examination showed that Mr Duran had an enlarged heart, a disorder which impairs its ability to pump blood around the body.

Studies have suggested those with high blood pressure or heart disease should avoid the drink.

Red Bull is Britain’s best-selling “energy drink”, with 213 million cans consumed each year. Last year, 3.5 billion cans and bottles of Red Bull were sold in 140 countries. It is often mixed with vodka.

Well, everything has a limit, as I always say, taking everything moderately is the best practice. Do you agree?
