A study out of Israel says people who suffer from job burnout may be prone to developing type 2 diabetes.

The study followed more than 675 middle-aged workers affected by burnout.

The research found those people were nearly twice as likely to develop the condition.

The study in Psychosomatic Medicine said when the possible effect of blood pressure levels was eliminated; the risk was more than four times higher.

The study suggests stress can be added to other factors, like obesity, smoking and lack of exercise, known to increase risk.

The popular energy drinks you see everywhere are a multi billion dollar business but some doctors say they could pose some health risks especially to teenagers.

One school in Colorado is banning the energy drink *spike* from its campus after several students became sick.

Most energy drinks contain high amounts of caffeine, although some energy drinks like "Red Bull" have even less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

Some drinks have yohimbine, guarana, a natural type of caffeine, as well as taurine and ginseng, herbal supplements that are not regulated by the FDA.
