Energy Drinks - A Persistent Risk for Children

Only a can of energy drinks “can poison a child”: More than 2 thousand children, under six years of age, have been diagnosed at an abnormal rate of heart in recent years, while in the last three years, thousands of children have been admitted to the hospital after consuming energetic beverages. The symptoms they show include serious heart problems or neurologic problems.

These are the data that publishes the British magazine “Mail” in a recently published article. Professor Steven Lipsultz, general pediatric at the Michigan Children's Hospital (Detro), said most canons with energy drinks contain enough caffeine to cause any minor damage.

“Subsumption of energy beverages is a continuing health problem”, he said of “American Heart Association”: “You usually think these drinks are more likely to consume teenagers and young people, but we've actually found cases in control centres that these drinks have been drunk by children younger than 6 years old.

Despite doctors ' warnings that children should not consume energetic beverages, this section still remains a problem for parents. The more children consume energetic beverages, the more health problems they have. Energy drinks, as it is known, contain caffeine and heart stimulants, which not only are not necessary for children but rather for children. They are harmful, can disturb the heart rate, and can affect the cause of other health problems.

Energy drinks also contain vitamins and some extracts that are not necessary for children because their organism is developing.

Pediatric doctors warn that energetic beverages can cause heart attacks, kidney problems, and liver damage in children. Doctors also recommend that the best liquid for children is water, so if they refuse it, you must definitely put it in your seat. If children are involved in sports, they may also consume sporting beverages, which contain sugar. But if they are not involved in sports activities and are less active, it would be good to avoid energy sports. In most cases, it is difficult to estimate the amount of caffeine in the product through a bottle label. Take good care of cases of over 500 milligrams of caffeine, equivalent to 14 cans of soda.
