Children CAN regulate body temperature as well as adults

Though the focus of the article is about sport and energy drinks and their rise in use for adolescents in sports,  check out point #1.  The author isn't freaking out about nothing.  It has been a very long-held belief that children couldn't regulate their body temperature as well as adults, however it appears that this study by the American Academy of Pediatrics has chosen otherwise.

This article is also good to have yet another expert point out that we really need to disconnect ourselves from the fad of energy drinks.
