    Can coffee hurt a kids health?

    Kids and coffee.

    A recent Harvard study found that when kids were given just one cup of coffee a day for a year, but then had it suddenly stop, they went into withdrawal. 75 percent suffered from mood disorders like fatigue or depression, and 83 percent of them suffered from headaches. Caffeine excess can also cause a rapid heart rate and rhythm problems in kids, some suffer insomnia or irritability, and it commonly causes diarrhea. One doctor says for kids a little cafe is ok, but don’t make it everyday.
