Biker dies from energy drinks

[Pwalo]

I don't think his death certificate will state that he died of a caffiene overdose. More likely heart failure due to competing in a motorcross event in the Australian summer.

It's just a headline to grab attention.

I would also think the caffeine story is bullshit. I, too, swoff down multiple espressos a day, and after (now ex!) girlfriend crapping on about caffeine killing me I read a bit...

See? Better off without her! Life is good.



(And you should upgrade to a proper one next time, too; having an AZN is pretty much cheating, etc.)

I'd agree that the cause of death would likely be some form of heart failure. Probably exacerbated by dehydration.

Those carbonated 'energy drinks' really suck the fluid out of your body; I'm not a fan of them in any situation other than sitting at an air-conditioned desk. They're basically just a differently-flavoured Coca-Cola with three times the caffeine. Horrid shit.

Yup they have nearly killed me, put me in hospital for 2 days on a heart monitor. Heart pulvetations.

Heart racing to flat out out of nowhere, a few very deeps breaths and it would revert back to a normal rate.

No gradual slow down though, from flat out to a resting pace instantly...

At the hospital they actually detected a slight stop between.

I try stay reasonably clear of them now... and if i do i limit my intake.

i was also quite unfit at the time. I now cycle 50-100kms a day and drink powerade when on the bicycle, no issues as yet.

Yes it could be anything, but if there is the possibility of something we consume/use on a regular basis having potentially life threatening risks I think people would like to know so that they then have the option of avoiding the use or consumption of said item.

While we are on the subject of bacon, eggs and hashbrowns, it could very well have been the eggs considering they tested chicken eggs and found they had traces of malamine in them due to what they were feeding the chickens with. So really it isn't exactly something to joke about.
If your kid died from malamine filled milk powder I'm sure you'd be jumping up and down pointing the finger (then again we all die from something right? So who cares what they put in our food, drinks, and other items of daily use)

So again back on topic. Energy drinks. Yes. I'm sure you would also jump up and down and point your finger if it was your child, brother, or sister or some other family member or friend who died from energy drink consumption. If there was even the slightest possibility that some ingredient in said drink could have caused the death of someone you knew you would want to know.

As you were.

Yeah but everybody knows if you knock back a shitload of caffeine you drop dead.
