Warning over popular drink after mother-of-two develops organ damage from daily habit
A mother-of-two who developed organ damage after drinking several cans of Red on a daily basis has warned against getting 'hooked' on the energy drinks. Lucy Parker, 35, from Perth in Australia, initially booked in for a medical scan to investigate pain she'd been having in her thighs. While the cause of this was revealed to be an ovarian cyst, the scan also revealed signs of serious harm on her liver. Images revealed the vital organ had an extreme build-up of fat which—if left to progress—can lead to organ failure as well as an increased risk of cancer. Ms Parker, who is a healthy weight, blamed her habit of drinking three Red Bulls per day, equivalent to consuming 81g of sugar per day (the equivalent of nearly two and a half Mars bars), for the problem. She's since quit the energy drinks altogether and said follow-up scans have shown signs her liver is recovering. The creative director for a marketing agency admitted she had been 'addicted' to Red Bull. 'If I knew I didn't have a Red Bull in the fridge before I went to bed I would drive out to go and get one or figure out how to get one first thing in the morning,' she said. 'I was having 81 grams of sugar a day in just those drinks. 'When you look at it on a scale there's no way you can eat that much sugar, it would make you sick.' The NHS advises that adults should have less than 30g of sugar per day, meaning Ms Parker was consuming nearly triple the recommended maximum. She added that even her daughters had noticed her reliance on the popular energy drink. 'Even my two kids on Mother's Day at school when they had to write down things about their mum they said "my mum's favourite drink is Red Bull",' she said. Recalling the moment medics gave her the scan results earlier this year, Ms Parker said it was mixture of relief followed by shock. 'Doctors were like "this is what's shown up-there's a cyst on your ovary we'll keep an eye on but that's the not the thing we're worried about",' she said. 'They told me "There's a lot of fat around your liver". 'They said it's basically where fat builds up around the liver and it's not able to work as well as it should.' While this toxic build-up of fat can be caused by drinking large amounts of alcohol, tests later revealed her condition was specifically non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This is a similar condition which is most commonly seen in overweight or obese individuals, particularly those with a lot of fat around their waist. In its early stages it doesn't trigger any noticeable symptoms, but medics can detect it during scans performed for other reasons, as in Ms Parker's case. If left to progress the disease causes the liver to suffer increasing damage from inflammation, leading to internal scarring of the organ which make it works less effectively. As the liver, which helps with digestion and filtering out toxins, shuts down, patients can begin to experience dull aching pain in their abdomen, extreme fatigue, weight loss and weakness. At the most severe stage this damage becomes permanent, and organ will begin to fail and become at high risk of developing tumours. Ms Parker said that upon getting the diagnosis she immediately quit drinking Red Bull. And a subsequent scan held six weeks later showed this was already showing results. Ms Parker said: 'My doctor said "whatever you have done between the last session and now is working". 'I just said "I've stopped drinking the Red Bull". 'She told me to keep doing that and in six months' time we will have reversed it hopefully.' Ms Parker said she had no 'no symptoms' prior to her diagnosis and urged others with a similar love of energy drinks to get checked. 'I had no pain, no nothing,' she said. 'If someone reading this is drinking the same amount of energy drinks for that period of time I would suggest they get a blood test.' She added this was particularly the case for fellow people with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who may be using energy drinks to 'calm down'. 'If you have ADHD it just does the opposite to what it would do for a neurotypical person,' she said. 'It calms me puts everything into check and helps me get through the day.' Official data shows 345 Britons died from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 2023, a slight rise from the pervious year's 323 with experts noting the rate had risen significantly since the Covid pandemic. Ms Parker's warning comes after the Government announced plans last year to ban under-16s from buying energy drinks due to concerns they are harming young people's health. Many supermarket chains across the country already have a voluntarily ban on selling the products to minors. But Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said his party would make this mandatory in the run-up to the General Election in 2024. Drinks such as Red Bull, Prime and Monster can have up to 150mg of caffeine, almost double that of a black coffee. With some brands available for as little as 25p a can, many of the energy boosting drinks can be cheaper than bottled water and are a popular pick-me-up among young people.

Mum with £19k Red Bull "addiction" goes cold turkey after fatty liver diagnosis
A mum who had a £19k "addiction" to Red Bull has gone cold turkey after being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Lucy Parker, 35, went for a CT scan after having pain in her thighs which revealed a cyst on her ovary and also highlighted a build-up of fat in the liver - which could lead to serious liver damage, including cirrhosis, if it got worse. After cutting her three energy drinks a day habit - which saw her spend almost £20k on the energy drink over 15 years - Lucy claims doctors have seen improvements in her liver and says has no damage like fibrosis which means her condition is reversible. She has also been using Chat GPT to help her make "little swaps" in her diet and help her understand her condition more clearly - which she's hoping to fully reverse after going cold turkey on the fizzy energy drinks.

Anheuser-Busch taps UFC's Dana White for a new energy drink
With beer sales flatlining, Anheuser-Busch is looking beyond hops and toward Ultimate Fighting Championship's controversial boss Dana White to help them crack the growing energy drink category. Launching nationwide Wednesday is Phorm Energy, the company's newest energy drink. The non-alcoholic caffeinated beverage marks the first product stemming from Anheuser-Busch's previously announced partnership with White aimed at expanding into the $24 billion energy drinks category. Like similar products, Phorm Energy has zero sugar or artificial flavors, contains electrolytes and is naturally caffeinated from green tea extract. The drink comes in four varieties: grape, orange, blue, and 'Screamin' Freedom,' which is a mixture of blueberry, cherry and citrus flavors. A 16-ounce can costs $2.99. Beer sales have been declining for the past several years, falling again more than 1% in 2024 according to Brewers Association, as drinkers shift their preferences to spirits or increasingly ditch drinking. That has forced Big Beer to search for alternatives, including expanding into spirit-based cocktails, non-alcoholic varieties and even energy drinks, with the latter forecasted to balloon into a $33 billion category in the next five years, according to research firm Mintel. Energy drinks have been a successful gambit for rival Molson Coors, which recently purchased a majority ownership stake in Zoa, a brand co-founded by actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Zoa has repeat purchase rates of 50%, and Coors said its 'ability to attract new consumers to the energy category' made it an appealing acquisition. However, Anheuser-Busch has been less successful. In 2017, the company bought energy seltzer water brand Hiball, but sold it six years later to Tilray Brands. The cult-favorite drink was recently relaunched by its new owners. Then in 2020, Anheuser-Busch bought a 40% stake in energy drink Ghost, which used the beer conglomerate's distribution network. However, that came to an end last year when Keurig Dr Pepper bought Ghost in a $1 billion deal and took over its operations. Following that, Anheuser-Busch's wholesalers and partners 'had been looking toward 'what's next' in the energy drinks space,' according to Jenn Litz-Kirk, director of content for Beer Business Daily, a trade publication. 'In some ways, this new move is a no-brainer: With the imminent launch of Phorm, it seems like Anheuser-Busch is trying to recreate the Ghost formula,' she told CNN. 'The energy segment is hot, and it's a high-margin proposition for both retailers and distributors.' The launch of Phorm Energy further entrenches Anheuser-Busch's relationship with the controversial White. The pair partnered in 2023 when Bud Light became the official sponsor of his mixed martial arts league following the Dylan Mulvaney debacle. A social media post from Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, promoting Bud Light sparked a massive backlash, costing the company as much as $1.4 billion in sales that year. As for White's involvement, Litz-Kirk said it's ''red meat' for a certain cohort of energy drink consumers,' pointing out that UFC is growing in popularity and that White has a massive following of 10 million on Instagram. Anheuser-Busch's other partner for the energy drink, 1st Phorm, is also linked to controversy. Last year, police departments in St. Louis, where the company is based, cut ties with 1st Phorm after its cofounder Andy Frisella made offensive comments about female police officers on his podcast. Sal Frisella, 1st Phorm's CEO and Andy's brother, said the comments were spoken on a personal podcast that wasn't affiliated with the company. 'We do not agree with his statements, and we do not condone the words or the context in which they were presented,' Sal said at the time. Andy no longer leads the company. Litz-Kirk said Anheuser-Busch likely doesn't think Andy's comments were a 'big deal' since the partnership was announced in January and there hasn't been any blowback from wholesalers.
