HYATTSVILLE, Md., Feb. 12 (UPI) -- On any given day, almost 75 percent of U.S. children and teens drink caffeine, but lately they are drinking more coffee and less soda, officials say.
Amy M. Branum, Lauren M. Rossen and Dr. Kenneth C. Schoendorf of the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, analyzed caffeine data among 22,000 U.S. children and adolescents ages 2 to 22 using 24-hour dietary recall data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2010.
