Granny Good-Food Cory Terry, 33, died of cardiac arrest after drinking Red Bull Energy Drink before and while playing basketball in 2011. His grandmother filed a wrongful death suit against Red Bull for $85 million last month in Brooklyn, NY. Apparently there have been other deaths in Ireland, Sweden, and England after people drank Red Bull. The company responded by citing its safety, selling over 35 billion cans in 25 years. A couple of questions come to mind. Was he drinking Sugar-Free Red Bull, with aspartame and acesulfame potassium? One of aspartames many side effects is sudden death due to cardiac arrest. Did Mr. Terry eat a lot of fast food or processed food? If so, he could have been exposed to many foods with MSG, or Mono-Sodium Glutamate. MSG depletes the hearts energy enzyme, Co-Q10. Strenuous exercise, such as a game of basketball, also depletes Co-Q10. An interesting theory is that people who consume fast food that is laden with chemical flavors like MSG are self-medicating with energy drinks that contain the amino acid Taurine and B vitamins, particularly B-6. Some people who are sensitive to MSG take Taurine to offset or prevent a reaction, and B-6 is needed to create CoQ-10, which also protects against MSG sensitivity. Note that the Japanese eat much MSG, but they also consume much fish and even raw fish that is loaded with Taurine. The question can be asked, does the average deficient and toxic diet create cravings for products like Red Bull? If Mr. Terry was also deficient in Magnesium, as is so common, then the 400mg caffeine in each can would only serve to agitate his heart and central nervous system even more with dangerous arrhythmias, creating a further need for B vitamins -- which are in Red Bull. The B vitamins used in Red Bull are more than likely processed from coal tar and are synthetic. This could be problematic, as many people now have a genetic anomaly called MTHFR and cannot assimilate synthetic B vitamins. There is sucrose, or sugar, in Red Bull. Is it cane sugar or beet sugar? If it is beet sugar, it is from genetically engineered beets. What deficiencies are being created with this neo-food? What toxicities? Perhaps Monsanto should be a co-defendant? Sugar depletes Vitamin C and creates a scorbutic condition. If Mr. Terrys nutritional status did not contain sufficient Vitamin C, or if he was a smoker, then undiagnosed scurvy could have caused heart failure. Red Bull is made in Austria and Switzerland from alpine spring water of the best quality. If Mr. Terry had been drinking this pure water instead of Red Bull that fateful day, one must wonder if the outcome would have been different? And the biggest question that the jury must wrangle with -- Where does personal responsibility for ones choices get factored into the $50 million claim?
