How ( simple thread)

Energy drinks are able to activate the Flight and Fight response system of the body which is meant to respond to emergencies called the SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM

Energy drinks cause this system to fire excessively, this can cause the Heart to beat fast which then show as Palpitations

Nice question on Stroke. Let me attempt to make it interesting ( A long Read)

A Stroke happens when the Blood supply to the brain is cut off.

Imagine the Brain has some pipes ( blood vessels) that feed it with blood. When these pipes burst or get blocked, it cuts off blood to the brain.

The Brain depends a lot on blood, in a matter of minutes that part of the Brain dies - THAT IS A STROKE Fastest way to know a Stroke.
Well, it has lot of symptoms depending on what part of the Brain.

For Public education let's use the code FAST

Face drops
Arm/Leg weak
Speech changes
Time to get to a hospital ( faster you get to a hospital better)

Other symptoms can happen

Nigerian Raw Beans is one of the most dangerous foodstuff you can find in the market.

From my digging and research

The EU banned the importation of Nigerian beans in 2015 as it was deemed toxic and poisonous.

The Beans were preserved with Chemicals and Pesticides that might unsafe for human consumption.

Let me give you an update of what is going on in Hospitals now due to the NLC shutting light and the strike

I got to work this morning.

First, The Electronic Medical Record was shut down which means we didn't have access to patients and what was done and cannot do anything Pharmacies and Laboratory cannot function because they run on light which means patients cannot get their medications and get there.
So we can't really say what's going on in the blood.
