Medical Expert: Energy Drinks Can Cause Diabetes
As reported by TUT.AZ, well-known dietitian and endocrinologist Anton Polyakov told aif.ru about the hidden dangers of popular drinks in an interview.
According to the doctor, energy drinks provide a boost of vigor thanks to their high concentration of sugar. The body responds with a powerful insulin release, which first causes an increase in blood glucose levels, followed by a rapid decrease.
Polyakov warns that such sharp insulin spikes can seriously disrupt carbohydrate metabolism over time and trigger the development of diabetes. Of particular concern is the fact that, according to the specialist, there is no safe dose of energy drinks in principle - even regular consumption of small portions leads to adverse health effects.
