The American Medical Association, or AMA, announced that it voted during its Annual Meeting to adopt several new policies on emerging issues in public health and science. Among the policies adopted was support for a ban of the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18. "Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people, including heart problems, and banning companies from marketing these products to adolescents is a common sense action that we can take to protect the health of American kids," said AMA board member Alexander Ding, M.D. The Fly notes that Forbes reported earlier this week that the AMA might endorse such a ban. | | | 15:23 EDT | | MNST | AMA calls for ban on advertising energy drinks to kids, Bloomberg says
