On Oct. 6, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced that the federal government would be introducing a cap of 180 milligrams of caffeine in energy drinks. Her argument in favour of the change was that it would be “especially helpful to the parents of teenagers who regularly consume energy drinks.”
Health Canada concedes that “older and heavier-weight adolescents may be able to consume adult doses of caffeine without suffering adverse effects.” Given this wishy-washy stance, I don’t see a reason to ban some of the more caffeinated varieties of energy drinks.
