Drinking caffeinated beverages is bad for the development of the brain in adolescents. A dangerous dose of caffeine per day, Swiss doctors called three cups of coffee, a liter of cola and a can of energy drink.
An experiment conducted by experts from Zurich 100% confirmed this theory. During the course, doctors gave the rodents moderate doses of caffeine. And two weeks later, the electrical activity of the brain was measured. They were able to establish that mice that were not given caffeine had more neural connections in the brain than their counterparts who received the substance.
Doctors believe that caffeine has a similar effect on the brain of teenagers. New synapses usually appear in the brain during deep sleep. But under the influence of caffeine, the quality of sleep deteriorates markedly. And this affects the work of the brain. Especially in young people. Therefore, doctors advise not to drink caffeinated beverages to teenagers. Experts include a can of energy drink, a liter of cola and three cups of coffee a day among them.
