Impact of Caffeine on Brain Development
Caffeine consumption during brain development, especially in the prenatal stage, can have harmful effects. Studies show that prenatal caffeine exposure can lead to decreased efficacy of the frontal lobes, difficulty with self-regulation, and an increased susceptibility to cravings for food. Excessive caffeine intake during brain development may also contribute to weight problems, impaired sugar metabolism, and an increased risk of obesity in children.
