Is Caffeine a Health Hazard?

[stefan]

Caffeine is the most widely consumed drug in the world, most commonly from the beverages coffee, tea and soda. An estimated 80% of the world's population consumes a caffeine-containing substance daily. A typical 8-ounce (240-ml) cup of instant coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine — about twice as much as a cup of tea or a 12-ounce (360-ml) can/bottle of soda. A 30-gram chocolate bar might contain as much caffeine as half a cup of tea. Pure caffeine can be obtained in powders, caplets or tablets in products like NoDoz.

I agree with Ryecatcher -- about 200-300mg is reasonable caffeine intake for an adult (2-3 cups of coffee a day).

If coffee consumed in moderate amount than it has no bad effect instead it is helpful to reduce chances of oral cancer and gallstone disease.

Actually I think sugar might be the most widely used drug in the world. And I think both caffeine and sugar pose risks to health if abused.

Definitely agree with the last post...sugar can be just as dangerous, and neither sugar/caffeine should be abused or negative effects will surely follow.

I'm currently up to about 7 cups and I'm fine

To the last post...7 cups a day might be tolerable for you (though it would certainly be above average), but it could be a difficult amount for many people to try to break the habit. I speak from some level of experience -- I used to drink about 10 cups of coffee a day, and when I tried to reduce that amount it was painful experience.

This is on top of the fact that 2-3 cups is considered safe, which equates to about 300mg of caffeine a day. Seven cups a day would put you up about 1000mg a day.

Coffee is great for your health!

 

[CJA]

Lol -- yes it can be great for your health, unless you start drinking it in excess (which varies per person, but keep in mind 2-3 cups a day is about average for most people to tolerate).

A archetypal 8-ounce (240-ml) cup of burning coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine — about alert as abundant as a cup of tea or a 12-ounce (360-ml) can/bottle of soda. A 30-gram amber bar ability accommodate as abundant caffeine as bisected a cup of tea. Pure caffeine can be acquired in powders, caplets or tablets in articles like NoDoz.
