According to Edward Dowd (@DowdEdward), a recent CDC report highlights a 14.6% increase in strokes among individuals aged 18–44 between 2020 and 2022, raising significant public health and economic concerns. As per Dowd’s analysis, energy drinks and Adderall may contribute to this trend, but are not the sole factors (source: CDC, cited by Edward Dowd on Twitter, June 3, 2025). This rise in health risks could impact workforce productivity and investor sentiment, particularly for health sector stocks and crypto projects linked to healthcare and biotech, as traders may anticipate volatility and sector rotation.
