Dr Scott Willoughby, who led the study, said: "One hour after they drank Red Bull, (their blood systems) were no longer normal. One hour after drinking a Sugarfree Red Bull, the participants showed blood test results that was to be expected in 'someone with cardiovascular disease'. Their blood had become тРЬstickyÑ‚Ð Ð and much slower flowing." Dr Willoughby, of the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, was тРШalarmedтРЩ at the results and would not drink Red Bull himself. This is albeit a small study, and no larger or similar study has been done since (to my knowledge), nevertheless, I think the results are certainly noteworthy even though Red Bull reps denied the results as significant. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1045195/Red-Bull-gives---increased-risk-heart-disease-say-scientists.html#ixzz2fHdQ56k1 Red Bull gives you.... increased risk of heart disease, say scientists By FIONA MACRAE UPDATED: 17:50 EST, 15 August 2008 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1045195/Red-Bull-gives---increased-risk-heart-disease-say-scientists.html#ixzz2jB6tTMvo Just one can of Red Bull could raise the risk of heart attack or stroke, even in young people, researchers have warned. A study of university students found drinking one 250 ml can of the sugar-free version of the energy drink that 'gives you wings' increased the 'stickiness' of the blood and raised the risk of life-threatening clots. Researcher Dr Scott Willoughby said: "One hour after they drank Red Bull, (their blood systems) were no longer normal." Red Bull Health doubts: Sugar-free Red Bull "They were abnormal like we would expect in a patient with cardiovascular disease. If you get an increase in stickiness and a decreased ability of the blood vessels to stop its stickiness, that adds up to a bad situation. If you add in other risk factors for cardiovascular disease - stress or high blood pressure - this could be potentially deadly." Dr Willoughby, of the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, said he was 'alarmed' at the results and would not drink Red Bull himself. Those with underlying heart or circulatory problems should think twice before buying the caffeine-loaded drink, he said. The results, reported in the Australian newspaper, also shocked the students taking part, some of whom drank up to eight cans a night to help them stay awake to study. Many now refuse to drink Red Bull again. Red Bull is banned in Norway, Uruguay and Denmark because of health fears, but the company last year sold 3.5 billion cans and bottles in 143 countries. In Britain alone, it has sales of â"¬Ð³271 million a year, with much of the cash spent in bars and clubs were it is a popular mixer with vodka and other spirits. Previous studies have warned the stimulant effect of Red Bull can mask some of the tell-tale signs of drunkenness -- putting revellers at risk of injury and attack because they do not realise how intoxicated they are. Red Bull Dr Willoughby said drinking Red Bull caused the blood 'to become sticky' The Australian researchers said that two of the drink's ingredients -- caffeine and the amino acid taurine -- may have dangerous consequences for the heart when taken together. Dr Willoughby said: "Caffeine and taurine -- both of these individually point towards being beneficial but maybe there's something quirky about the effect of the combination of the two that is causing this reaction, that is what we need to look at next." Formulated by the marketing director of an Austrian toothpaste company in the 1980s, one can contains 80 mg of caffeine, around the same as a cup of filter coffee, or two cups of instant. However, cans do carry health warnings advising people not to drink more than two a day. Red Bull Australia spokeswoman Linda Rychter said: 'The study does not show effects which would go beyond drinking a normal cup of coffee. She added that Red Bull's global sales were testament to health authorities across the world concluding it was safe to drink. But Dr Willougby said: "If you have any predisposition to cardiovascular disease, I'd think twice about drinking it." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1045195/Red-Bull-gives---increased-risk-heart-disease-say-scientists.html#ixzz2jB7akMla http://www.heartfoundation.org.au/sites/researchnetwork/Researchers/Pages/Willoughby%20Scott.aspx Scott R.

Willoughby, PhD Department of Cardiology, Cardiovascular Research Centre, Royal Adelaide Hospital, and Disciplines of Physiology and Medicine, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia Abstract Background Energy drink consumption has been anecdotally linked with sudden cardiac death and, more recently, myocardial infarction. As myocardial infarction is strongly associated with both platelet and endothelial dysfunction, we tested the hypothesis that energy drink consumption alters platelet and endothelial function. Methods Fifty healthy volunteers (34 male, aged 22â"¬â–'2 years) participated in the study. Platelet aggregation and endothelial function were tested before, and 1 hour after, the consumption of 250 mL (1 can) of a sugar-free energy drink. Platelet function was assessed by adenosine diphosphate-induced (1 â"œÐ¼mol/L) optical aggregometry in platelet-rich plasma. Endothelial function was assessed via changes in peripheral arterial tonometry and expressed as the reactive hyperemia index (RHI). Results Compared with baseline values, there was a significant increase in platelet aggregation following energy drink consumption, while no change was observed with control (13.7â"¬â–'3.7% vs 0.3â"¬â–'0.8% aggregation, respectively, P <.01). Similarly, RHI decreased following energy drink consumption ( 0.33â"¬â–'0.13 vs 0.07â"¬â–'0.12 RHI [control], P <.05). Mean arterial pressure significantly increased following energy drink consumption, compared with control (P <.05). Heart rate was unaffected by energy drink consumption. Conclusion Energy drink consumption acutely increases platelet aggregation and decreases endothelial function in healthy young adults.

Monte methanol/formaldehyde toxicity paradigm is that concentrations of ADH1 enzyme, well known to exist inside blood vessel wall cells in specific tissues, quickly turn methanol into formaldehyde inside the vessel cells, in humans only -- the highly reactive formaldehyde diffuses to penetrate adjacent tissue cells, binding to DNA, RNA, and proteins, attracting macrophages, which die, creating complex, expanding micro lesions, leading to many modern "diseases of civilization", Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus -- as well as later cancers -- also serious birth defects in the fetal brain in the fourth week of pregnancy, spinal bifida and autism. Aspartame is 11% methanol, 22 mg per can of diet drink -- similar levels of methanol come from wood and cigarette smoke, heated and canned fruits juices vegetables, fermented and smoked foods, some wines and liquors, vehicle fuels, many cleaners and solvents, chemical medical autopsy mortuary facilities, heated wood in particleboard and paper factories, and more. WC Monte submits robust evidence for multiple sclerosis, which he concludes proves methanol to be the proximate toxic cause, since ADH1 enzyme is within the cells of the inner linings of brain blood vessels, the Purkinje cells of the vermis of the cerebellum, and rods and cones of the retina -- ADH1 quickly turns methanol into free floating formaldehyde within these cells, disrupting the blood brain barrier...

The release of the final EFSA review on aspartame safety will be delayed from April 15 to November, 2013. Extremely cogent multiple lines of robust evidence were briefly described that strongly support the methanol formaldehyde toxicity paradigm of Prof. Woodrow C. Monte, Prof. Food Science and Nutrition, Arizona State University, retired 2004 -- supported by an online archive of 745 free full text medical research references at www.WhileScienceSleeps.com . It is clear that methanol is far more dangerous for chronic low level exposures than realized since 1890. Major sources include the smoke from a pack of cigarettes, 40 mg methanol,the same as from 2 cans aspartame diet drink. It now seems likely that most cigarette diseases are actually methanol toxicity... Methanol stays in the blood with a half-life of 3 hours, reaching every part of the body and the fetus with the bloodstream, and readily entering all cells. Humans are uniquely vulnerable to methanol formaldehyde toxicity, as they lack a functioning catalase enzyme system, that in all other creatures serves to protect each cell against the rapid conversion of methanol into free floating formaldehyde right inside the cells of 20 specific tissues that have high levels of ADH1 enzyme. The effects are used to good advantage in embalming and disinfection, as formaldehyde immediately bonds to and impairs DNA, RNA, and proteins, permanently disrupting cell biochemistry, cell by cell, as long as methanol is ingested -- leading to 20 specific chronic modern novel "diseases of civilization", that progress slowly and erratically, according to the ingestion of methanol from a variety of modern sources: smoke from cigarettes, wood, and peat; since 1983, aspartame, including from most chewing gums; fresh tomatoes and black currants; unfresh fruits juices vegetables cut up and preserved wet at room temperature in sealed cans jars plastic containers; jams jellies marmalades; smoked fermented spoiled foods; many dark wines and liquors; work at paper and wood factories, mortuaries, medical and chemical facilities; Research since 2012 specifically shows the presence of formaldehyde bonded to cellular macromolecules inside cells after methanol ingestion -- the paradigm will be confirmed in detail very quickly, as science exponentially explores this simple breakthrough. This presents the world food industry with an unprecedented opportunity to serve the huge public good by collaborating vigorously to eliminate all methanol exposures from foods and beverages. The Net guarantees that the news and evidence will spread explosively everywhere.
