Caffeine Content of Popular Beverages

You might be giving these to your child, to a child you baby-sit for or drinking them yourself.

This information was requested by parents, teachers and teens who were having trouble sleeping and they thought maybe caffeine was keeping them awake. Remember, caffeine is like other drugs, you will build up a tolerance to it AND you will withdrawal from it if you stop it suddenly. (Ask anyone who has missed their coffee for a day - better yet, just avoid the person).

Yes, there are new waters that will be on market shelves soon with caffeine in them, if caffeine is a problem for you always read the label! If you love your caffeine, enjoy it, but become informed.

(As a general rule, if caffeine is in the soda, it's in the diet one also.) In order from most to least...
