Study Links Energy Drinks and Traumatic Brain Injury in Teens

It has been found that teens who have a traumatic brain injury(TBI) report also drinking more energy drinks than teens who did not have a TBI.  I think the researchers can only conclude that teens are more likely to have acquired their brain injury from the activities they perform such sports.  And energy drinks are largely consumed around sports.   Energy drinks are typically marketed towards athletes.  Therefore, the connection between active teens, who were more likely to acquire brain damage while playing their sport, and the energy drinks can be made.  But the drinks did not cause any harmful effects.
