It referenced a report from the University of Massachusetts Medical School that stated there had been 4,600 caffeine-related calls to the American Association of Poison Control Centers in 2005, more than half of them from people under 19. The report then uses this as a reason to warn about the increasing use of caffeinated beverages by young people—but no comparison numbers ...
