   I'm baffled every time I think about it.
   
   
   You give a cup of coffee to a child and everyone in the room will look at you like you're some sort of irresponsible moron, but you give that same child a Coca-Cola can instead, which contains 35g of sugar and nobody blinks an eye.
   
   The maximum amount of sugar consumption recommended for MALE ADULTS is 40g every twenty four hours, going beyond that regularly is asking for diabetes. A single can of 330ml of Cola almost hits that threshold, and that sugar goes almost instantly into your bloodstream because it's all liquid.
   
   
   I see morons feeding their children all sorts of toxic sugary drinks and then they wonder why their kids are unbearable and "hyperactive".
   
   Stop feeding poison to your kids retards, sugar is as bad if not worse than caffeine for children considering it can turn them into a Big Pharma slave for life with the insulin conspiracy. Don't fall for the Coca-Cola psyop.

     @sally A 240 gram can of Coca-Cola contains 35 to 45 milligrams of caffeine, which is 3-4 times less than your typical coffee - but a child drinking 3 cans of Coca-Cola a day seemingly won't bat many people's eyes either.
     
     Sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity, but the caffeine in sugary drinks can and the sugar has just delivered a burst of energy.
     
     Large amounts of sugar is worse than caffeine, as caffeine doesn't give you diabetes, although overdosing on caffeine is far easier (but you won't overdose unless you intentionally do so).

     @sally I completely forgot to point out the incredible psyop Coca-Cola has pulled off - they've psyopped so many people into believing that their garbage drink tastes good, which means that children going for the "good drink" is only seen as a good thing.

     @lina
     
     Sugar is as addictive if not more than caffeine. The problem with sugar also is that a lot of poison is marketed and targeted at children, because it's legal and getting them hooked on sugar from youth is both extremely easy and makes sure that they will normalize excessive sugar intake as they grow until they become adults.
     
     There's also the whole conspiracy about the sugar industry being partnered with big pharma to develop generation after generation of diabetics to keep printing money selling insulin at speculated price because people dies without it, insulin that only two or three big pharma conglomerates can legally produce today, even though insulin patents expired decades ago.
