Youtube personalities Logan Paul of the US and rapper KSI of Britain, meet fans during a Prime soft drink promotional event in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 27, 2023. REUTERSPIX: With its extremely high levels of caffeine, a hip new soft drink is raising fears in the United States that it might be dangerous for children, who have been snapping up the beverage since it was launched by famous YouTube personalities.
A single can contains 200 milligrams of caffeine -- far more than the 30 milligrams in a can of Coca-Cola, for example, or the 80 milligrams in a can of Red Bull. And between the ages of 12 and 18, a limit of 100 milligrams per day is recommended -- or half a can of Prime Energy. But the drink contains “eye-popping levels of caffeine for a child’s body,“ the Senate majority leader said.
The FDA responded this week that it is “reviewing the concerns” raised by the senator, and that it would respond to him directly. The FDA -- which has already issued warnings in the past against several companies marketing both alcoholic and caffeinated beverages -- noted that adults can generally consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day without harmful effects, or four to five cups of coffee.Paul partially responded to the controversy in a video posted to social media on Thursday.
