New York Post interviewed Jennifer Temple in a report that Logan Paul’s PRIME energy drink puts kids' hearts at risk with the caffeine content. Temple said she was how shocked at how revered the drink was within her son’s social group. “I wouldn’t have let him get the drink with caffeine,” Temple said. “He got the hydration one, but I’m not happy that there is a version with 200 mg of caffeine, aimed at children.” In a study with more than 100 children participants, Temple continued, “We found that there is a strong desire to continue drinking the caffeinated beverage and, if consumed later in the day, it could impact a child’s ability to fall asleep. If a kid, with a small body, has a few cans, it can make him jittery or cause him to throw up.”
