Ooh. I thought of a better one. The FDA needs to FOAD.

The amount of concentrated caffeine thats considered safe at a time200 milligramsis very, very small. ONE cup of brewed coffee has 95-165 mg of caffeine. So three cups of coffee have 285 to 495 mg. That sounds like the danger zone.

About twenty-five years ago, when the high-caffeine drink Red-Bull came on the market in Europe...there was this episode to occur in Ireland. Some teenager had consumed a number of Red-Bulls before soccer practice, and about halfway through practice....had a heart attack, and died. All autopsy efforts led back to the caffeine drink.

A lot of homemade coffee may be only 70-80 mg of caffeine. A large coffee from a specialty shop might be 300 or so mg.
Someone who’s actually caffeine addicted might need more than 200 mg for it to make a difference.

Note to FDA: We seem to have gotten along pretty well with this stuff. Please go home and take another nap.

3 cups of coffee is the danger zone for a lot of people, I get a racing heart beat and feel awful after drinking that much caffeine

Ingesting a large quantity of salt will kill a person. Why isn’t salt banned?

[[at least two deaths in otherwise healthy individuals, the agency stated. ... Between 10 and 14 grams of caffeine is considered life-threatening]]

Highly concentrated and pure caffeine, often sold in bulk packages, have been linked to at least two deaths in otherwise healthy individuals, the agency stated. .."

I’ve never read further than that and I’m not about to start now.

In order for our “regulators” in federal agencies to keep their jobs, they must constantly come up with new “regulations” for the citizenry.
I think this is easily in the top three problems facing the nation.
The federal government should NOT be a “make-work project.”

Heh, heh. I think the full line is, “Sanka? Are you dead, mon?”

Me, too. I made some big diet changes Jan 1 this year including zero caffeine and zero alcohol (I kept to the first part and really good on Part 2) as well as zero beverages with acid (OJ, coffee). It’s done wonders for me.
