erosive potential of Energy Drinks on the dentine surface
BMC Research Notes, 2013Co-Authors: Shelon Cristiina Souza Pinto, Carolina Naciben Da Silva, Rodrigo Cavassim, Alvaro Henrique Borges, Matheus Coelho Bandeca, Jose Eduardo Cezar SampaioAbstract:Background: Considering the current high consumption of Energy Drinks, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the influence of Energy Drinks in removing the smear layer and exposing dentinal tubules on root surface. Methods: Dentine root surfaces were exposed using a diamond bur. Forty movements of scaling were performed in the area prepared in order to create a smear layer. One hundred and thirty specimens were obtained from 35 teeth. Specimens were randomly distributed into 12 groups (n = 10) and divided into subgroups according to the application: topical (n = 5) and friction (n = 5). Twelve Energy Drinks were evaluated: RedBull™, Burn™, TNT™, Flash Power™, Flying Horse™, Sports Drink™, Ionic™, Hot Power™, Army Power™, Gladiator™ and Bug™. Distilled water was used as a control group. The specimens were analysed by scanning electron microscopy. Results: Topical application: a significant influence of Energy Drinks on smear layer removal was found for FlyingHorse™ and Bug™ when compared with the control group. Friction application: significant smear layer removal was found for Burn™, FlyingHorse™, Gladiator™, SportsDrinks™, when compared with the control group. Comparing the different application forms, a statistically significant difference was found for Army Power™. Conclusion: Considering the significant smear layer removal, Energy Drinks can be an important etiological factor for cervical dentine hypersensitivity.

adverse effects of caffeinated Energy Drinks among youth and young adults in canada a web based survey
CMAJ Open, 2018Co-Authors: David Hammond, Jessica L Reid, Sara ZukowskiAbstract:Background Energy drink consumption has increased dramatically among young Canadians, with anecdotal evidence of adverse health effects. There is a lack of population-based studies to examine the prevalence of adverse events from Energy Drinks, particularly among young people. The current study sought to assess adverse events from Energy Drinks among a population-based sample of youth and young adults in Canada. Methods An online survey was conducted in 2015 with a national sample of youth (aged 12-17 yr) and young adults (aged 18-24 yr) recruited from a consumer panel. Respondents reported prior consumption of Energy Drinks as well as adverse outcomes, concurrent activities associated with the outcomes and whether medical attention was sought or considered. Adverse events from coffee were also assessed for comparison. Weighted analyses are reported. Results Of the 2055 respondents, 1516 (73.8%) reported having ever consumed an Energy drink, and 1741 (84.7%) reported having ever consumed coffee (unweighted). Overall, 55.4% of respondents who had ever consumed an Energy drink reported that they had experienced at least 1 adverse event, including fast heartbeat (24.7%), difficulty sleeping (24.1%), headache (18.3%), nausea/vomiting/diarrhea (5.1%), chest pain (3.6%) and seizures (0.2%); 3.1% had sought or had considered seeking medical help for an adverse event. The prevalence of reported adverse events was significantly greater among Energy drink consumers than among coffee consumers (36.0%) (odds ratio [OR] 2.67 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.01-2.56]), as was the proportion who reported seeking or considering seeking medical help for adverse events (3.1% v. 1.4%) (OR 2.18 [95% CI 1.39-3.41]). Interpretation More than half of youth and young adults who had consumed Energy Drinks reported adverse outcomes, some serious enough to warrant seeking medical help. The adverse outcomes were consistent with the physiologic effects of caffeine but were significantly more prevalent than with other sources of caffeine such as coffee, consistent with data from national adverse event databases.

consumption of caffeinated Energy Drinks among youth and young adults in canada
Preventive medicine reports, 2017Co-Authors: Jessica L Reid, Cassondra Mccrory, Christine M White, R Chantal D Martineau, R Pat D Vanderkooy, R Nancy D Fenton, David HammondAbstract:The growing market for caffeinated Energy Drinks (CEDs) has caused concern about excessive caffeine intake and potential adverse effects, particularly among young people. The current study examined patterns of CED consumption among youth and young adults in Canada, using data from a national online survey conducted in October 2014. Data from a non-probability sample of 2040 respondents aged 12-24 from a consumer panel was weighted to national proportions; measures of CED consumption were estimated, including prevalence, excessive daily consumption, and context for use (locations and reasons). Separate logistic regression models for two outcomes, past-week consumption and "ever" exceeding two Energy Drinks in a day (as per common guidance), were conducted to examine associations with demographic variables (sex, age, geographic region, race/ethnicity, and language). Overall, 73.6% of respondents reported "ever" consuming Energy Drinks; 15.6% had done so in the past week. Any consumption of Energy Drinks in the past week was more prevalent among males, Aboriginal respondents (vs. white only or mixed/other), and residents of British Columbia. Among "ever-consumers," 16.0% reported ever consuming more than two Energy Drinks in a day. Exceeding two in a day was more prevalent among older respondents (young adults aged 18-24), aboriginal respondents (vs. white only), and British Columbia residents. While the majority of youth and young adults had consumed Energy Drinks, about half were "experimental" consumers (i.e., consumed ≤ 5 Drinks in their lifetime). Approximately one in six consumers had exceeded the usual guidance for maximum daily consumption, potentially increasing their risk of experiencing adverse effects.

use of caffeinated Energy Drinks among secondary school students in ontario prevalence and correlates of using Energy Drinks and mixing with alcohol
Canadian Journal of Public Health-revue Canadienne De Sante Publique, 2015Co-Authors: Jessica L Reid, David Hammond, Cassondra Mccrory, Joel A Dubin, Scott T. LeatherdaleAbstract:OBJECTIVES: Caffeinated Energy Drinks have become increasingly popular among young people, raising concern about possible adverse effects, including increased alcohol consumption and related risk behaviours. The current study examined consumption of caffeinated Energy Drinks and use of Energy Drinks with alcohol, as well as associations with socio-demographic and behavioural characteristics, among a sample of secondary school students in Ontario. METHODS: Survey data from 23,610 grade 9–12 students at 43 purposefully sampled Ontario secondary schools participating in the baseline wave (2012/13) of the COMPASS study were analyzed using generalized linear mixed-effects models. Outcomes were any Energy drink use, frequency of use, and use of alcohol mixed with Energy Drinks; covariates were age, sex, race, spending money, bodymass index (BMI), weight-related efforts and alcohol use. Two-way interactions between sex and other covariates were tested. RESULTS: Nearly one in five students (18.2%) reported consuming Energy Drinks in a usual week. Use of Energy Drinks was associated (p < 0.01) with all socio-demographic variables examined and was more common among students who were male, off-reserve Aboriginal, had some spending money, had a BMI outside of “healthy” range, were trying to lose weight, and/or reported a higher intensity of alcohol use. Interactions with sex were observed for age, spending money and weight-related efforts. Use of Energy Drinks mixed with alcohol in the previous 12 months was reported by 17.3% of the sample, and was associated with race, spending money, and more frequent binge drinking. CONCLUSION: Regular use of Energy Drinks was common among this sample of students and strongly linked to alcohol consumption.

Youth consumption of alcohol mixed with Energy Drinks in Canada: Assessing the role of Energy Drinks
Preventive medicine reports, 2019Co-Authors: Amanda Doggett, Wei Qian, Adam G. Cole, Scott T. LeatherdaleAbstract:Abstract Consuming alcohol mixed with Energy Drinks (AmED) is a risk behaviour among youth, and previous research has reported a positive association between binge drinking and AmED consumption. However, limited research has examined how regular consumption of Energy Drinks is associated with AmED consumption among youth. The purpose of this report is to examine the role of Energy drink use on AmED consumption in a Canadian youth population. Using data from the 2015–2016 COMPASS survey including 35,300 grade 9 to 12 students, two logistic regression models investigated if the inclusion of Energy drink consumption in the past week altered the results of a model examining AmED consumption. In this sample, 13.2% of students reported AmED consumption in the last 12 months. Those who reported drinking Energy Drinks in the past week were 3.38 times more likely to consume AmED than those who did not drink Energy Drinks. The inclusion of past week Energy drink use decreased the effect size of other associated substance use behaviours. This report demonstrates that past week Energy drink use is associated with increased likelihood of AmED consumption and suggests that previous research may have missed this important contributor. These findings along with existing Energy drink research highlight the importance of addressing the lack of Energy drink regulations in Canada.

Energy Drinks and binge drinking predict college students sleep quantity quality and tiredness
Behavioral Sleep Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Megan E Patrick, Jamie Griffin, Edward D Huntley, Jennifer L MaggsAbstract:This study examines whether Energy drink use and binge drinking predict sleep quantity, sleep quality, and next-day tiredness among college students. Web-based daily data on substance use and sleep were collected across four semesters in 2009 and 2010 from 667 individuals for up to 56 days each, yielding information on 25,616 person-days. Controlling for average levels of Energy drink use and binge drinking (i.e., 4+ Drinks for women, 5+ Drinks for men), on days when students consumed Energy Drinks, they reported lower sleep quantity and quality that night, and greater next-day tiredness, compared to days they did not use Energy Drinks. Similarly, on days when students binge drank, they reported lower sleep quantity and quality that night, and greater next-day tiredness, compared to days they did not binge drink. There was no significant interaction effect between binge drinking and Energy drink use on the outcomes.

the use of Energy Drinks dietary supplements and prescription medications by united states college students to enhance athletic performance
Journal of Community Health, 2013Co-Authors: Christophe Hoyte, Donald Albe, Kenno HeardAbstract:While the use of performance enhancing substances by professional, collegiate, and Olympic athletes is well described, the rate of use in the general population is not well studied. We explored the use of Energy Drinks, dietary supplements, and prescription medications for the enhancement of athletic performance among college students using an ongoing survey system. We conducted a multi-round online questionnaire collecting data from self-identified students at two-year colleges, four-year colleges, online courses, or technical schools at least part-time during the specified sampling period. The sample is obtained through the use of a survey panel company in which respondents voluntarily register. Survey data were collected from December, 2010 through August, 2011. Subjects who reported participating in athletics were asked if they used any of the following substances to enhance athletic performance (1) Energy Drinks (2) dietary supplements (3) prescription medications within the last year. Data were analyzed from October, 2011 through January, 2012. There were 462 college students who responded to the survey reporting they participate in sports at various levels. Of these, 397 (85.9 %) responded that within the last year they used Energy Drinks, dietary supplements, or prescription medications to enhance athletic performance. Energy Drinks had the highest prevalence (80.1 %), followed by dietary supplements (64.1 %) and prescription medications (53.3 %). Use was most prevalent amongst intercollegiate athletes (89.4 %) followed by club (88.5 %) and intermural (82.1 %) participants. The vast majority of survey respondents reported using Energy Drinks, dietary supplements, and prescription medications within the last year for athletic performance enhancement.
