Some parents have brought to our attention the unbelievable dangers of energising drinks for our wee children. NHS have also issued warnings over the use of Energising drinks especially for little children. Energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine which is a stimulant. NHS have outlined potential risks associated with drink energy drinks.
- Caffeine overdose (which can lead to a number of symptoms including palpitations, high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, addiction to caffeine and in some cases even death.)
- Type 2 Diabetes (high consumption of caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity)
- Neurological and cardio vascular system effects in children and adolescents
- Sensation seeking behaviour, hyperactivity
- Poor dental health
- Obesity
We respectfully request that all parents consider the possible damaging effects of energising drinks especially for our little children.
Thank you.
