For the first time, the World Health Organization has raised the red flag against energy drinks.
The global health watch dogs have announced that energy drinks are all set to become a significant public health problem if their useage is not curtailed.
They have called for a cap on caffeine levels and restrictions on their sale and marketing.
Energy drinks are known to contain high caffeine levels, which cause palpitations, hypertension, vomiting, convulsions and in extreme cases heart failure leading to death.
