The study also found that consuming energy drinks leads to chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke, known as metabolic syndrome, as it has been shown that the sugar-free energy drink also promotes metabolic syndrome and increases blood glucose and cholesterol in mouse models, with levels of Similar to other energy drinks.
