Few weeks back I watched a documentary on TV about kids and health issues related to food and drinks they get at school.
Caffeine was also mentioned!
So I was thinking: What do I do to make sure my kids eat healthy? Well, they're still too young for coffee but time goes by fast.
I have to admit, that I mostly looked at fat, sugar and sodium. But caffeine - nope. Unfortunately, it's not required to add caffeine to the nutrition labels.
Also, we can read a lot about how healthy coffee is but I found out, this only counts for adults, NOT kids and teenagers!
As a result, we may think that coffee can't be too bad for teens either, can it?
For this reason, I researched online for the last weeks and was shocked how many foods and drinks contain caffeine and are directly and purposely targeted towards our youngest!
I have also created a post with an Infograph on my website, if coffee is bad for teens (this post has no affiliate links and is only for information purposes, so I hope it's ok to share it).
What I want to know is, do you have kids?
Have you ever considered too much caffeine to be a problem?
And would you ever blame too much caffeine as the reason, when your kid is tired all day and not good in school?
As I've already mentioned, my kids are with 4 and almost 2 still too young for coffee but I am curious how you deal with your kids regarding coffee and caffeinated products, so I have some options later.
Thanks for sharing!
