According to a story on Reuters, the FDA is re-opening an investigation into the effects of caffeine on children because of a new gum being marketed by Wrigley, although they don't name the gum specifically.
Yeah, FDA, it's caffeinated gum that's affecting children, not Red Bull, Monster or any of those other super-caffeinated soft drinks that are marketed directly at children and teens! The FDA must just be mad at Wrigley because they weren't willing to slip them a few million dollars under the table to ignore them like they do the soft drink manufacturers! I fail to understand how there could be any substantive difference between a caffeinated gum and a drink that provides more caffeine than a comparable sized coffee drink.
