The city of Toronto has already adopted restrictions of energy drinks at Parks, Recreation and Forestry facilities. “There is basically nothing good in caffeinated energy drinks, so it’s not like there’s any harm or danger in not making it accessible to kids,” he said. “We should limit added sugars to six teaspoons a day but energy drinks have 16 teaspoons or more! The good news, says Hamilton, is that they’ve noticed a decline in energy drinks use since they started tracking the data. Only 35 per cent of youth in Grades 7 through 12 across Ontario have reported to drink energy drinks in the last year, down from nearly 50 per cent.
