FDA: 5 Reported Deaths With Monster Drink Link

The highly caffeinated Monster Energy Drink is being linked to five deaths and one non-fatal heart attack, according to reports that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating.

The reports claim that people had adverse reactions after they consumed Monster Energy Drink, which comes in 24-ounce cans and contain 240 milligrams of caffeine, or seven times the amount of the caffeine in a 12-ounce cola.

Although the FDA is investigating the allegations, which date back to 2004, the agency said the reports don't necessarily prove that the drinks caused the deaths or injuries.

Do you send your kid to school after they drink two and a half cups of strong coffee with 15 teaspoons of sugar in it? Pretty much the same thing.
