    You don’t need a medical degree to have an opinion. Caffeine is a mostly harmless drug.

      What do you base this on? What tests have you done or read? An opinion is not medical science.

        Yes I said its an opinion, I made no claim it was medical science. My opinion is that in many cases, a teenager consuming reasonable amounts of caffeine is not something to worry about. I base this off of the knowledge I have of caffeine as someone who isn’t a doctor. If you want a doctor’s opinion, you should go to a doctor instead of the internet.

          How is six times what is in a coke can a reasonable amount of caffeine?

            200mg of caffeine is reasonable depending on body weight.

            “The principle sources of caffeine intake among adolescents are sweetened coffee and energy drinks, with a daily caffeine intake below the current suggested maximum acceptable levels for adolescents (2.5 mg/kg body weight/day”

                If people are drinking more than one of these per day, that’s a problem. It should be more like once every few days or optimally, never.

                  Have you ever met a 16 year old with the self control to only ever have one of these sorts of drinks per day? Let alone a 16 year old fan of Logan Paul?
