Wait coffee has more caffeine then energy drinks?
I haven't verified the numbers (yet), but the fact remains that no one would drink 3000 ml of coffee a day. And that's what we see happen with energy drinks all the time (source: I'm one of the toxicologists manning emergency line in our national poison control center).
This sounds like a lot, but it's only two pots. I used to do that all the time. I'm kinda surprised that "no one would". I know it wasn't healthy and I stopped because it was affecting my health.
Maybe it's just my area. A Dunkin Large is 700ml, and I know people who pound 2 in the morning and have one over lunch on a normal day. Then actually (their/our words) drink coffee on the tough hangover days.
They've actually done pretty recent studies and concluded you would have to get above 10 cups of coffee for it to stop being healthy.
Note that I said healthy and NOT that it would then be unhealthy. I'm bot sure how much coffee you would have to drink for that to happen, but seeing as how caffeine was misattributed to being hard on the heart and cardiovascular system, I imagine it would take a lot or like this poor young woman, you'd have to have a heart problem already.
Speak for yourself… I brew a minimum of 3 pots daily, for me…
Energy drinks have more in them than caffeine
Depends on the energy drink. The little V8 energy drinks have 80mg, and the green dragon extreme has 180mg in the same 8oz can. But yeah coffee has more than people think.
Yep. For proper brewed coffee, anyway.
