Children who are inattentive, restless, and having difficulty sleeping may be reacting to the caffeinated cola drinks in the school vending machine or the home refrigerator.
First-graders have more behavior problems on the days that they are exposed to caffeinated colas than on the days that they have caffeine-free drinks, according to Chicago investigators who reported today to the American Psychiatric Association meeting here.
Be aware that children may have more behavior problems in school when they consume caffeinated beverages.
