Practice Reading: Reading and Writing Fill in the Blanks ID: #50148 Coffee for Children
Instructions
 years  of  warnings  from  pediatricians  and  other  health  professionals  that  coffee  and  other  caffeinated  beverages  like  sodas  and  sports  drinks  can  be  harmful  to  youth,  parents  are  allowing  their  little  ones  even  toddlers  to  drink  those  beverages.  Because  children  are  usually  smaller  in  body  size,  it  takes  less  caffeine  to    their  functioning.  An  insignificant  amount  for  an  adult  could  be    for  a  small  child.  Too  much  caffeine  can  cause  increase  heart  rate  and  blood  pressure,  contribute  to  acid  reflux,  and  cause  anxiety  and  sleep  disturbances  in  children.  In  very  high  doses,  caffeine  can  be  dangerous.  Other  problem  with  kids  drinking  coffee  is  that  it's  of  little  nutritional  value,  and  it's    something  that  should  be  nutritionally  complete,  such  as  milk  and  water,  Corkins  said.  Milk  is  packed  with  calcium  and  vitamin  D,  and  water  is  a  nutrient.  We  are  like  60  percent  water,  basically  an  ocean.
