Overview

• A comprehensive analysis by Öko-Test rated 22 energy drinks, with none deemed recommendable due to health concerns.
• All tested drinks contain the legal maximum caffeine level of 320 mg per liter, posing risks like heart palpitations and tremors in young consumers.
• Over half of the products exceed WHO’s daily sugar intake guidelines, with some cans containing the equivalent of eight sugar cubes.
• Twenty of the drinks showed Bisphenol-A contamination, a hormonally active chemical linked to cancer and metabolic disorders.
• A phased ban on Bisphenol-A in can linings has been initiated, but consumer advocates criticize the lengthy transition period.
