THURSDAY HEALTH REPORT: Caffeine in kids linked to ER visits, seizures and sleep issues, CDC warnsMore than 60 percent of kids consume caffeine on a given day, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also found that the older kids got, the more caffeine they consumed. For younger kids, sweet bakery products were the most common source of caffeine, followed by flavored milk, candy and soda. For older kids, soda was the most common source, followed by tea and coffee. That combination can lead to sleep issues, dehydration, and, at higher doses, more serious outcomes like panic attacks and seizures.
