Although the composition of each functional drink is slightly different, most of them contain sugar, caffeine and taurine, and the caffeine content of many functional drinks on the market exceeds the human safety limit. Experts believe that this is the main cause of health problems.
Extended data
The European Food Safety Agency recommends that the caffeine content per person should not exceed 400 mg per day, and pregnant women, teenagers and heart patients should not exceed 200 mg. 1 1 The daily caffeine intake of children under the age of 0 should not exceed 105 mg.
To this end, many countries have strict regulations on the suitable population and eating methods of functional drinks. For example, the previous industry labeling guidelines in Britain stipulated that every liter of soft drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine must be warned that its caffeine content is too high. It is not recommended for children, pregnant or lactating women and people who are sensitive to caffeine.
