85% of people in the US drink at least one caffeinated beverage each day.
And that includes kids.
But yet, despite the fact that we are shoving this drink down our pie holes, there have always been these fears that caffeine is bad for our health.
And our worries around caffeine have reached new heights when it comes to energy drinks.
