Update~ Energy drinks, caffeine & soda/pop not good for kids : (
The study is not saying it is the caffeine or if it is the sugar, but the study says that violent behavior in children from 5 years old to teens can be linked to drinking soda/pop. Wonder what they would find if they studied energy drinks and children/teens?
Quote:
In terms of behavior, the researchers found that aggression, withdrawal, and attention problems were all associated with soda consumption. Despite adjusting for socio-demographic factors, maternal depression, parental abuse, and paternal imprisonment, the results indicate an increase in aggressive behavior with any soft drink consumption. The four percent of children who drank four or more soft drinks per day were more than twice as likely to exhibit destructive behavior, destroying things belonging to others, and physically attacking people. They also suffered from increased attention problems and withdrawal behavior compared to those children who did not consume any soft drinks.
