Dean Wharmby was a professional bodybuilder that lived an
unhealthy life according to many. He would need to constantly consume at least
10,000 calories to keep his muscle mass; this included numerous meals of fast
food. But what killed this man we drink every day.
Energy drinks are one of the most popular beverages sold all
over the world. They give us an immediate boost when we need it and can often
keep us focused as well. For Dean, he would consume two energy drinks every
hour while he was working out.
Unfortunately we are not told about the hidden, unhealthy
secrets that come with consuming an energy drink. The good news is that
those secrets will now be revealed.
The energy drinks that Dean would consume seemed to work at
the beginning, he was extremely focused and awake which was needed with the way
he trained in the gym. Unfortunately things turned out bad for Dean, he was
diagnosed with cancer, but this enabled him to get rid of his bad habits.
Once the tumour began to shrink and disappear, Dean picked
up hos bad habits again, which included consuming many energy drinks a day. You
think he would learn, but he didn’t, and because of this doctors diagnosed him
with liver cancer for a second time. The doctors told Dean that his bad habits,
including the energy drinks, are what destroyed his liver and created cancer
cells.
Unfortunately Dean was unable to treat or beat the cancer
this time and he passed away. He left behind his wife and daughter. Remember
what killed this man we drink, and it could happen to us.
The story of Dean is a tragic one, but it does open the
doors to discussion and information about energy drinks that we may not know
about. Take the ingredient Niacin for example, many energy drinks contain it
and it has been known to cause severe damage to the liver. In some cases it has
even caused the liver to fail. An average energy drink could contain
up to 40mg of Niacin. What killed this man we drink everyday, in this case it
could be Niacin.
