## Resource

A Calgary parent is sparking a heated debate across Alberta over energy drink sales to minors, pushing for a ban after a tragic Quebec teen death linked to caffeine and ADHD medication. Jennifer Koo, leading the charge, has even created a caffeine-free alternative with researchers, arguing that the real danger lies in the high stimulant levels in popular drinks. While Health Canada advises against kids under 14 having them, Alberta has no age restrictions — though Quebec may soon follow suit, potentially setting off a wave of provincial action. Alberta’s health ministry says it’s watching but not planning new laws — leaving parents on edge as the conversation intensifies.
