Caffeine is bad for children because according to research certain drinks contain as much as 14 times more caffeine than the average can of cola. This is the same as drinking 7 cups of coffee.

In low amounts (below 200 mg) caffeine is safe for most children. There are urban legends that caffeine can cause stunted growth but this is not true. Too much caffeine can result in restlessness, inability to sleep, and nausea.
