Sixty - five percent of children in a recent study bu caffeine each day.Most children are unable to join their parents for a morning cup of coffee, but 75% of drink them caffeine, according to a new study.
The results of the study were published in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics.
In a study of 201 children, originally designed to watch phenomenon among children aged 5 to 12 doctors found as adults, children of caffeine more drank - usually at soda - at least they got to sleep.
While it may affect the behavior, it does not affect phenomenon, the study noted.
Children in the study between 5 and 7 years drank 52 milligrams of caffeine per day - or equivalent over 16-ounce Coca-Cola. Children between 8 - 12 years study twice as much drink that sink in 109 milligrams of caffeine per day.
American guidelines for consumption of caffeine are too old to be relevant, wrote of the authors of the study, but Canadian guidelines recommend no more than 85 mg of caffeine per day for 12 years.
As many parents know sleep affects the mood child General and ability to learn, discover new pointed out.
«Caffeine is not a man of boogie, but at a certain time for us all, too much caffeine is a problem, "William Warzak, a psychologist in the Department of Pediatrics at the University in Omaha Nebraska Medical Center says new discoveries. "We just don't know where to draw the line for children", he added.
The most disturbing part of the study experts is that it is not known how caffeine actually affects the growth and overall development by young people.
Doctors study argued that more must be done to consolidate what they noticed could be the possible effects of caffeine.
"Given the potential effects of caffeine on the behaviour of the child, a screen of consumption of caffeine may be useful for the assessment of children's behavioral health concerns," the authors of the study noted.
