Bitter Facts About Iced Coffee
Some of the iced coffee varieties have three times the caffeine found in a normal cup of coffee, researchers from Griffith University said after conducting tests on more than 20 varieties of iced coffee-flavored milk.
The National Health and Medical Research Council has issued a warning to parents against allowing children to consume caffeinated drinks, known to cause a host of problems such as sleep disturbances, bedwetting, and anxiety.
Researcher Ben Desbrow said, "A lot of people think it is better for you because it is milk-based. But actually it is worse. Caffeine in iced coffee is considered a natural ingredient so manufacturers are not required to disclose the level of caffeine on the label."

The report, on page 151, sums up their findings "Overall, the evidence to suggest that caffeine has adverse
behavioural effects on children at current intake levels is inconclusive."
So, Medindia, how about a retraction, and a little better research next time?
