9. Kids under 12
Caffeine can make any of us a little jittery, but it will generate more noticeable and even severe side effects on kids, such as an increased heart rate, increased feelings of anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and an upset stomach. What's more, coffee can mask hunger cues, so toddlers may stay too fed to get the nutrition needed for growth. Finally, coffee itself is quite acidic, and can thereby damage tooth enamel and increase the risk of cavities.
