Is coffee good for kids

Answer 1

You bet it is, Caffeine is addictive. Kids should be kept away from it, the repercussions of it would be noticeable once the youthfulness begins to fade away.

Answer 2

According to Vanderbilt's Dr. Tomas DePaulis, and contrary perhaps to parents who usually try to keep coffee from children, it may not be that harmful. As for adults, it seems to improve concentration and may help children do a little better on tests. General mental performance outside of short-term tasks is not necessarily improved, however.

There is also an interesting recent finding from Brazil, according to Dr. DePaulis in Coffee: The New Health Food? that suggests that children who drink coffee with milk "are less likely to have depression than other children."

There are negative effects of drinking coffee, most of which are associated with drinking large amounts of coffee. But for some people, and particularly for children, even 1 cup of coffee could have negative effects.

The National Institute of Health says "a child's caffeine consumption should be closely monitored. Although caffeine is safe to consume in moderation, it may negatively affect a child's nutrition. Caffeinated beverages may be replacing nutrient-dense foods such as milk. A child may also eat less because caffeine acts as an appetite suppressant. Caffeine can be completely restricted in a child's diet since there is no nutritional requirement for it. This may be necessary for a hyperactive child as caffeine is a stimulant."

Caffeine can also aggravate heart problems or nervous disorders, and children and parents might not even be aware of the risk. Since caffeine is a stimulant, it can also produce symptoms like jitters, irritability and hyperactivity.

Caffeine is also an addictive substance, and can cause restlessness in those who skip the daily coffee dose. In addition, there may be other short-term side effects, such as heartburn, headaches, stomach problems and a elevated blood pressure.

Whatever the truth of this claim, over the coming years, there is little doubt that much more research will be done and future generations of all ages may benefit from this analysis.
