The high dosage of caffeine, amino acid taurine, and sugar formulated in these drinks put the body on the edge of overwork and stress. The quest to have the ingredients for these drinks regulated is continually being pushed by scientists across the world, primarily as kidney failures are on the rise worldwide, particularly in younger children due to the increased consumption of such drinks.
