Erie News Now will be taking a closer look at the drinks many of us reach for every day.

All week long on Erie News Now Sunrise, Belle Fahey will bring viewers a series of special reports, taking a deeper look at popular caffeine‑rich drinks and examining the effects those beverages can have on our lives, our health, and especially on our kids.

The series features insight from parents, athletes, trainers, and health professionals on how these drinks may impact the body.

“It’s like when you find your child doing any type of habit that isn’t the best for them — whether it’s drinking, smoking, or not making healthy choices,” one parent said. “Being an involved parent and giving them that information comes from love. You care about their health, you want them to grow up happy and healthy and to be here.”

Be sure to tune in to Erie News Now Sunrise Monday morning at 5:00 for the first installment of Belle’s series of special reports.
