Jacked up on Energy Drinks Part II

In continuation of the previous Jacked up on Energy Drinks post, I came across this study, looking at the negative impact caffeine consumption has on children:

Study shows caffeine negatively affects children

For those who don't feel like clicking and reading the link, the summary of the article is that in the study, "75% of children surveyed consumed caffeine on a daily basis, and the more caffeine the children consumed, the less they slept."

Thus it can be taken that the loss of sleep can lead the children to having mood swings, performing poorly in school, and affecting their relationships with others, which in turn can impact their social development.

The author of the study goes on to promote the education of parents on the effects of caffeine on their children's health and development.
