Hold up

... What does too much coffee do?..

(Only if you're comfortable sharing though)

Yeah, I'll put it under a read more in case people don't want to hear about this.

Caffeine is a naturally occurring stimulant that has the potential to impact the body in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Although most people can consume caffeine without any ill effects from doing so in moderation, an overdose of caffeine can cause a wide variety of health issues.

What is the maximum safe level of caffeine intake? The response is conditional on a number of variables, such as the individual's age, weight, level of caffeine tolerance, and preexisting health issues.

Suggested Daily Dosage of Caffeine

Generally speaking, healthy persons can consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day without experiencing any adverse effects, as recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is roughly the same as:

Coffee for four people, brewed (8 oz each)

10 cans of soda (12 oz each)

Fire two bursts of energy (2 oz each)

Yet, people's tolerance for caffeine varies greatly; some may feel ill even at moderate doses.

Adequate Caffeine Intake for Children and Teens

Caffeine is something kids and teens should stay away from if they can help it, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The following recommendations are made for those who must drink caffeinated beverages:

Caffeine intake in children younger than 12 years old should be limited to no more than 2.5 milligrammes per kilogramme of body weight each day.

Teenagers (those between the ages of 13 and 18) should not take in more than 100 milligrammes of caffeine daily.

Caffeine can have different effects on children and adolescents than on adults, and in some cases may cause agitation, nervousness, and trouble sleeping.

How Much Caffeine Can a Pregnant Woman Safely Consume?

Particular caution should be exercised by pregnant women regarding caffeine consumption, since high levels of caffeine consumption have been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and low birth weight. Intake of more over 200 mg per day is discouraged for pregnant women, as stated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

The Average Caffeine Content of Popular Drinks

Knowing how much caffeine is in a typical drink can help you avoid going over the recommended daily caffeine limit. As a rule of thumb, consider the following:

Brew coffee has 95-200 milligrammes of caffeine per 8 ounce serving.

14–70 mg per 8 ounce serving of black tea

Depending on how much green tea you drink, you could get anywhere between 24 and 45 mg.

Coke, on the other hand, has between 34 and 46 milligrammes per 12-ounce serving.

70–200 milligrammes per 8-ounce can for energy drinks

Caffeine is not just present in coffee and tea, but also in chocolate, several medicines, and some vitamins.

In conclusion,

most healthy persons can use 400 mg of caffeine every day without any negative effects. However, sensitivity to caffeine varies greatly across individuals; some people may feel ill at smaller doses than others. If you have any concerns about your caffeine intake, it is vital to talk to your healthcare physician and become familiar with the caffeine level in commonly consumed beverages.

Who drinks more caffeine in your household?

When our son was brand-new, my husband and I agreed I would take the night shift because A) I did not have to work the next day, B) I’m a lighter sleeper and C) [most importantly] I can handle my caffeine. The poor guy (husband, not baby) can hardly function on lack of sleep but also runs around like a crazy person on acid when he has an amount of caffeine I’d consider “weak sauce”. Do not give…
