Redbull gives you more than just wings!

Apparently, it can give you blood clots too! An artjicle on "Times Online" states that a study done on college students drinking Red Bull can cause heart damage. The study was done on thirty university students between 20 and 24 years old. I guess the results showed that drinking only one can of Red Bull (sugar free) can increase the stickiness of your blood, making it easier for blood clots to form. According to the article: " Using tests to measure blood pressure and the state of blood vessels around the body, the Australian researchers said that after drinking one can participants had shown a cardiovascular profile similar to that of someone with heart disease" That's really scary! Red Bull of course denied the claims. Just something to think about the next time you grab a can of Red Bull!
