How caffeinated are you?
Friday, September 26th, 2008Here in Portland, Oregon, people who don’t obsessively drink coffee are in the minority (and perhaps even frowned upon). We love our coffee, and perhaps related to this is our reliance on caffeine. But how much caffeine should one person consume on a daily basis? And when should caffeine consumption begin? Teenagers and young adults may not drink much coffee, but they do drink caffeinated sodas and the hugely popular energy drinks. Though marketed to provide energy, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, energy drinks are generally loaded with caffeine–a lot of caffeine.
