| Subject: UK Schoolchildren will be BANNED from buying energy drinks: PM vows to curb sales of caffeine-heavy products Wed Aug 29, 2018 6:23 pm | |
| Schoolchildren will be barred from buying 'damaging' energy drinks, under tough new plans unveiled by Theresa May tonight.
Selling caffeine-heavy products like cans of Red Bull to under-18s is set to be made illegal.
The drastic move comes amid fears that the drinks are helping fuel obesity, tooth decay, bad behaviour and sleep problems among young people.
They were hailed by campaigners including TV chef Jamie Oliver - but critics said the government was obsessed with banning things.
