WISCONSIN / U.P. - Young people are turning to caffeine pouches for a quick energy boost, raising concerns among health experts, school officials, and parents in Wisconsin, Michigan and across the U.S. These small packets, placed between the lip and gum, can contain up to 200 milligrams of caffeine, similar to two cups of coffee.  Some U.S. school districts have banned them due to health concerns.  Experts warn that excessive caffeine can cause serious side effects, especially in children and teens.  Nearly two-thirds of young people ages 12 to 19 consumed caffeine on a given day, according to a July report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
