London doctor warns excessive energy drinks can damage kidneys due to high caffeine and sugar.

A London GP, Dr. Sermed Mezher, warns that excessive consumption of energy drinks can damage kidneys. He identifies three risks: high caffeine levels can raise blood pressure and have a diuretic effect causing dehydration, while high sugar can impact blood sugar, especially in those prone to diabetes. His warning is supported by a case study of a woman who developed kidney and liver problems after consuming many energy drinks. Moderate use is considered safe, but excessive consumption over time can be harmful.
