032526 ~ The Dangers of Energy Drinks - Dr. James Grant

March 25, 2026 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Dr. James Grant with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan for this week's A Healthier Michigan! Energy drinks contain dangerously high levels of caffeine, often four times that of coffee, making them harmful for teenagers and adults alike. These drinks can lead to increased heart rate, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, and trouble sleeping. The “natural” label on some energy drinks does not make them safer; parents should discuss the dangers with their children.
