Someone told me that coffee is bad for children. Why? What does it do to them? What about black coffee? Also, is it good for children to have black coffee or any coffee after getting up on an empty stomach?

coffee contains caffeine, and you can think of it as something that makes you feel energetic. Because our bodies require more proteins and energy as we get older, drinking coffee to stay alert sounds o.k. to adults. The metabolism for children is somewhat different. Kids need less energy than adults to stay active. Giving them caffeine would increase the risk of the brain going into overload. The result would be a chuild getting sick with stomach aches, headaches, etc. It doesn't affect their growth, but it can if they drink too much. I don't know about black coffee, but to me, coffee is coffee, no matter what type it is since it would contain caffeine. Oh, and never give children coffee on an empty stomach. It increases their blood pressure and would make them obese. This would take more effect as they get older. Use the site for more information.
