What does it do to you?<br />

You might already know that energy drinks can screw with your<br />

sleep, make you gain weight or even spike your blood pressure. But<br />

overarching evidence suggests they may lead to substance abuse,<br />

mental health problems, a higher diabetes risk, tooth decay and<br />

kidney damage, too<br />

The sweet stuff may be to blame, she says. Energy drinks typically<br />

contain high amounts of added sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and<br />

artificial sweeteners.<br />

When you down too much sugar, your body will eventually have a<br />

hard time responding to it, requiring more and more insulin to help<br />

glucose enter your cells. This insulin resistance can eventually lead<br />

to type 2 diabetes, according to the National Institute of Diabetes<br />

and Digestive Kidney Diseases.<br />

Plus, consistently high blood sugar levels can damage your nerves<br />

and blood vessels over time, which can set the stage for heart disease<br />

and kidney problems<br />

Anything good at all?<br />

Not really: Energy drinks can give you a boost when Monday morning<br />

hits you hard. But that fizzy beverage isn’t doing much for your<br />

body beyond your temporary pep.<br />
