Unfortunately there is a lack of human research on the effects of energy drinks on liver health. Although energy drinks are often perceived as harmless a new case report links the beverages to liver damage after a previously healthy man developed hepatitis from consuming too many. In a new study published in the british medical journal researchers say energy drink consumption can also be so damaging to the liver it can even cause acute hepatitis.
