Caffeine and Childrens' Headaches |
![]() Most people have had a headache. Some people, even children, have chronic headaches that occur almost every day. Although many headaches are caused by stress and muscle tension, some headaches can be caused by caffeine.
The researchers convinced the kids to reduce their caffeine intake gradually over a two-week period. This caffeine reduction program had a dramatic effect: the headaches of 33 of the 36 children disappeared. Not everyone who drinks caffeinated drinks gets a headache. The authors of this new study, however, warn that excessive consumption of cola drinks may cause chronic headaches in children. |
