The popular drink is coming under scrutiny by experts over its caffeine levels curiously
The popular drink Prime is facing scrutiny by health experts and lawmakers in the USA over its potentially dangerous levels of caffeine.
Advertising itself as zero sugar and vegan, the neon-coloured cans are among a growing number of drinks with elevated levels of caffeine; in Prime’s case, 200 milligrams per 12 ounces, equivalent to about half-a-dozen Coke cans or nearly two Red Bulls.This high caffeine content prompted the banning of the drink in some schools in the UK and Australia, where some paediatricians warned of possible health impacts on young children including heart problems, anxiety and digestive issues.
A US senator has called on the country’s Food and Drug Administration to investigate the drink. In his letter to the FDA, Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat from New York claimed there was little noticeable difference in the online marketing of the two drinks – leading many parents to believe they were purchasing a juice for their kids, only to wind up with a “cauldron of caffeine”.
