As a parent in Michigan, I’m growing increasingly concerned about the rise in energy drink consumption among young children. Recently, poison control centers across the country, including right here in Michigan, have reported a worrying trend. There’s been a 20% increase in energy drink-related cases among kids from 2022 to 2023. This issue hits close to home because, while the data reflects a national trend, it’s clear that Michigan families aren’t immune to the risks.
