Energy Drinks Could Be Deadly, Says Health Critic
Energy drinks are a common pick me up these days, especially among teenagers and shift-workers but the Opposition Health Critic wants to see the Alward government review how the caffeine loaded beverages are marketed to people under 19.
Liberal M-L-A Donald Arsenault tells CHSJ News it's a safety issue.
He says if you believe in reducing future health care costs and in the safety and protection of young people then this is an issue that should be important.
Arsenault points to the number of deaths that have been linked to energy drinks as a reason to review the legislation.
