According to them, caffeine can cause serious problems with the nervous system in children and therefore its consumption is recommended to be avoided.
Caffeine is found in many foods, including hot chocolate, cocoa, tea, chocolate and energy drinks, but the highest amount is found in coffee.
It is strictly forbidden to drink coffee to children under the age of five. For older children, the daily amount of coffee should not exceed 2.5 ml per 1 kg of body weight. So for a 10-13 year old child weighing 35-45 kg, this would be about 120 ml of coffee per day.
If this rule is violated, excessive coffee consumption can cause a number of problems, including sleep disturbances, irritability, heart problems, and rapid leakage of potassium and calcium from the body.
In addition, the drink can negatively affect metabolism, stress on the kidneys and cause headaches, stomach problems and fatigue.
