According to an article on Dr. Mercola's site, the energy drink Red Bull may cause a stroke in some susceptible people.   You are warned NOT to drink Red Bull if you:

• Are pregnant or lactating
• Are sensitive to caffeine
• Suffer from anxiety
• Suffer from high stress
• Suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome
• Have high blood pressure
• Are predisposed to cardiovascular disease
• Have any kind of blood clotting disorder

Apparently, the drink has so much caffeine in it that it causes blood to be sticky, which may cause cardiovascular problems such as strokes.   Just one hour after drinking a Red Bull, your blood system becomes abnormal,  such as a patient with cardiovascular problems.

I only touched on a few things, but you can read the entire article here:  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/06/red-bull-can-give-you-a-stroke.aspx?source=nl

Blessings,
