Is caffeine safe for children?
Soft drinks are the beverage of choice not only for adults in America, but most children as well. The research indicates that most kids consume more caffeine than recommended, but moderate amounts have thus far not been proven to produce any long term health problems. On the other hand, since continued use of caffeine produces a tolerance to its effects, kids who consume daily doses may find themselves needing more as they grow older to stave off withdrawal.
