Caffeine: Good or Bad? HD

Caffeine is the main ingredient in coffee. It is a compound that naturally derives from over sixty plant sources, including coffee beans, tea leaves, cacao seeds and cola nut seeds. Other than coffee we consume caffeine in tea, soft drinks, particularly energy drinks and colas, sweets, and some cold, allergy and pain medications. The food and drug Administration considers 300 – 400 milligrams a safe amount of caffeine for adults to consume daily. Pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake to 200mg per day (American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) and teens are advised to not go over 100mg. It is advised that children avoid caffeine (Mayo Clinic). As a guide, a regular 5oz cup of coffee has 100 to 200 mg of caffeine (depending on strength). Instant coffee contains less, anywhere between 30 and 90 mg per cup. A cup of tea has 50 to 70 mg and soft drinks less than 50 mg.
