I am not surprised by them suggesting it. Nothing really surprises me anymore. But, I look forward to any news that can help children w/their studies. It is a help to those of us that r helping our children raise our grandchildren.

The elementary school that my kids attend lets them bring healthy snacks like this to eat during their classroom studies. It really helps a lot and makes a difference!

Im slightly confused,because many studies show that natural forms of caffeine are highly beneficial, when used properly, for people of any age. J ust like natural forms of sugar , that are found in fruit and the natural salt as well, perhaps it would be wiser to just stay away from everything artificial (make your own) smart carbs, i find making my own stuff for the children is more satisfying for the both of us( have them help you, and youll bond as a bonus.

As a teacher who works with children with many different abilities and sensitivities I appreciate the focus on healthy snacking. There are some people who are truly sensitive to the artificial sweeteners and to carbs themselves. So take a look at your childs behavior and better yet,ask them what they think. you might ask "Were you able to stay with your work longer after the candy bar or after the peanut butter and apples?".(Protein has more sustained energy most of the time).

Gee folks, I think they said to "leave the candy and chips" behind! The part about M&Ms and Coke was just to get you into the story, then they say NOT to feed your kids these caffeine and sugar laden things when they are studying. The only one of the items I saw them suggest that had caffeine in it was the hot cocoa. If your kid has an issue with caffeine then go or one of the other choices. Hmmm, does soup have caffeine? Apples with peanut butter? Wow, I think some people TOTALLY misread this article. Go back and read it again.

#23 I'm not sure if it's completely allergy free, but we use sunflowerseed butter as a tasty substitute for peanut butter. It's not a nut and doesn't grow on a tree. But beware -- if the allergy is severe some brands are processed on the same equipment as peanut butter, read the label.

Ever since college days M&M's have been the ticket for me. A pot of coffee and a big bag of M&M's and I can easily study past 1:00 am. 24 years since I left college but I still study and take tests the same way. Now they have dark chocolate M&M's too! Children however, (I have 3) go into orbit.
