Just another BS article designed to get clicks.
7/144 = 4.9% With the information presented and using the same jump-to-conclusion analysis, energy drinks reduced the likelihood of a cardiac arrest by over 95%.
I winder how many of the 144 had brown hair. Let's guess 30%. The article could read, "People with brown hair have a 30% likelihood of cardiac arest. Why hair dye saves lives?"
It's poor reporting, but not necessarily poor research.
Out of the 144, how many of them were under 42 years old.
All we know from this article is that some number of 20-42 year olds had a cardiac arrest correlated with energy drinks. That age group is extremely young to have a cardiac arrest.
If the 7 they looked at were all otherwise healthy 20-42 year olds, that consumed high levels of energy drinks, then there might be more to the story. Especially if they didn't find any otherwise healthy 20-42 year olds that had a cardiac arrest and did not consume energy drinks.
Though with only the information in the article, we have no way to understand what is really being said.
Here's the study (it's free) ... https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(24)00189-9/fulltext
