April has made some regulation changes to show how much caffeine is in food and drinks. If you are trying to watch your caffeine intake and have a sensitivity to it, like me, then you need to know what is hiding in your every day products. Decaffeinated teas are at 20% caffeine to be considered caffeine free.
As you navigate the road of caffeine safety, you need to know about caffeine pouches, the new *trendy* caffeine fix for kids and young people to stay awake. These pouches, often put in the lower or upper lip and dissolve to give an instant dose of caffeine. While caffeine has a mixed bag of effects including seizures in some sensitive to caffeine. For more on what to do if you or a loved one has been trying this unregulated pouch, please read the article below and discuss it with loved ones. Or seek help with a counselor or therapist as needed.
