FDA asked to look at high caffeine content in PRIME energy drink, popular with students
Scripps News
Some people are claiming it's becoming popular among children.
Health experts say it has potentially dangerous levels of caffeine for kids. The PRIME energy drink has 200 mg of caffeine in every 12-ounce can. For comparison, that’s more than two Red Bull energy drinks, which have about 80 mg per 8.4 ounce can. It's also close to the amount of caffeine found in five cans of Pepsi, which have 38 mg per 12 ounces.
The FDA said 400 mg of caffeine a day is not generally associated with negative effects in adults. For kids, however, experts say those ages 12 to 17 should have less than 100 mg of caffeine per day, according to the Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
