Energy drinks are really harmful?

I think is not, I really like some of them. But im agree at the point of caffeine it is dangerous for the healthy. Accoriding to the American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization of over 60,000 pediatricians, recommended that kids and teens should never drink energy drinks.

But, the caffeine which is the thing who all the persons are worried being also in: chocolate, soda, coffiee, even tea.

For kids is recommend no more than 100 miligrams.

Although in a higher amout could be lethal. Although the FDA doesn't require companies to list the amount of caffeine in beverages, many brands do it voluntarily. They're right there on the label. So, in this little bottle, you've got 200 milligrams, you've got 160 milligrams in this can of Monster, and 114 milligrams in this RedBull. But caffeine often isn't the only ingredient in energy drinks.

So, the American Beverage Association, the trade group representing many of these energy drinks, came up with another idea: voluntary guidelines for labeling energy drinks.

So in my opinion, the energy drinks It does not hurt from time to time energy drinks as long as the amounts stipulated in each age are met.

Do you think there should be more regulation?

How do you feel about energy drinks?

Do you think the energy drinks should be banned as in other countrys?

Are you agree with the guidelines labeling energy drinks?
