Is there a connection between caffeine consumption and hyperactivity in school-aged children?
There is no evidence to show that caffeine is associated with hyperactive behavior. In fact, most well-conducted scientific studies show no effects of caffeine-containing foods–or any food or beverage, in general–on hyperactivity or attention deficit disorder in children. Scientific evidence suggests that children are no more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than adults. For more information on caffeine, go to: http://ific.org/publications/qa/caffqa.cfm.
