School students take an average of 121 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is more for them. Parents are not aware of coffee, tea, cola beverages and energy drinks, resulting in children becoming addicted to caffeine. It is harming their health.
Caffeine addiction is on the rise among young people. A survey conducted in schools found that children in India consume more caffeine every day than children in the US. The survey was conducted by the University of Medical Sciences. It involved 300 children from three schools in Delhi. It found that young people were consuming more caffeine than drinking more coffee and tea. While this is not the case in developed countries.
Caffeine addiction is higher in India than in other countries.
In the United States, students between the ages of 12 and 16 are taking 64.8mg of caffeine per day, while teenagers between the ages of 17 and 18 are taking 96.1mg of caffeine per day. In Australia, on the other hand, teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16 drink 109mg of caffeine. In Canada, children ages 8 to 12 take 109mg of caffeine.
