    ‘Not for everyone’ generally means some people just don’t like that thing, not that it causes fatalities.

      If you are at risk for certain activities or drugs, like caffeine, you are part of the not for everyone demographic…

      That’s true enough. There were a mere 34 deaths from energy drink fatalities according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest this year so - it doesn’t even compare to gun deaths or auto accidents. I guess that can be considered pretty safe.

        Honestly that makes this Panera stuff seem worse if its caused two deaths out of a low number, unless their lemonade is a bigger share of the energy drinks market than I’d assume.

          I don’t know the stats, but I have been under the impression that energy drinks with extra caffeine are generally regarded as not being all that safe anyway - but I could be wrong. I know that my own doctor has told me to stay away from energy drinks, I assume because of my blood pressure problems and GI problems, but I’m not sure. Most everyone else seems to enjoy them and have no troubles of any kind.
