While we all probably assumed that the large amounts of ca

32、ffeine. The study added: “Given the history of long-term energy drink consumption, lack of significant past medical or family history, heart imaging findings and improvement with ceasing intake, energy drink-caused cardiotoxicity(心脏毒性)was felt to be the most likely cause.”12What does the underlined
