A member asked:

Does red bull or any form of energy drink effect your thyroid. i have a thyroid issue that hasn't been diagnosed (ran test & such) can't figure it out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not directly: But all so-called "energy" drinks are just heavily laced with caffeine, which is a stimulant. It can be a problem if you're thyroid is overactive. Get yours diagnosed properly and treated successfully, if necessary.
