Many adults looking for that extra jolt of energy sometimes turn to energy drinks, but lately these caffeinated beverages have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Many parents are getting upset when these energy drinks fall into the wrong hands.

Many parents feel kids shouldn't be drinking these highly caffeinated drinks. Toddlers and Tiaras is known for being outrageous, but one mom on the show is drawing attention for giving her daughter special go-go juice, a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew.

Parents around the Grand Valley weighed in on what caffeinated drinks they thought were acceptable for kids, if any, and KKCO found what a lot of caffeine can do to a small body.

Richille Rusche knows what happens when she has an energy drink.

"Like Red Bull or Monster, my heart will just race," she said.

She can't even imagine what would happen if she gave some to one of her three children.

"Giving it to my kids, I mean, they would just be off the wall, I think," Rusche said.

But that's exactly what one parent did on the TLC hit, Toddlers and Tiaras. Calling it go-go juice, the pageant parent mixed Red Bull and Mountain Dew to give her daughter a boost of energy for her beauty pageant.

"Mountain Dew much less with Red Bull is just completely, how are you going to control your kids when you're feeding them that much caffeine?," father of two Steven Pool said.

Too much caffeine in adults can increase blood pressure, heart rate and stress. In kids, however, it can do more.

"We don't even really know how dangerous high amounts of caffeine mixed with high amounts of sugar are in children," cardiologist Dr. Maria Anderson said.

Those energy drinks can contribute to far more dangerous health problems for smaller bodies.

"[They can contribute to] hyperactivity, inability to pay attention. And these kinds of drinks in kids are associated with crashing," Dr. Anderson said.

Some parents say their kids are interested in their energy drinks when they see them drinking one.

"My daughter has actually seen me drink them quite a bit and she's asked about them," Pool said.

So rather than giving them a monster or rock star, parents turn to less caffeinated drinks.

"My daughter, she drinks caffeine-free stuff. I make sure it's not loaded with sugar like Sprite, Sierra Mist, things like that," Pool said.

"[I give them soda on rare occasions] like root beer, Sprite or 7-Up," Rusche added.

Dr. Anderson says many forget how much sugar is in those energy drinks. She says sugary drinks are the major cause of obesity among children, just another reason parents may want to consider giving their kids something else to drink. She also said the majority of sugar kids should be consuming should come from natural whole foods like fruit.
