excerpt:"Super-caffeinated energy drinks popular with teenagers, with names like Red Bull, Monster and Full Throttle, should carry warning labels, says a group of prominent caffeine researchers.
In an article published this month in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, researchers from Johns Hopkins University say caffeinated energy drinks should carry labels that note caffeine doses and warn of potential health risks for consumers.
The caffeine content of energy drinks varies from 50 milligrams to more than 500 milligrams per serving. A regular 12-ounce cola drink has about 35 milligrams of caffeine, and a 6-ounce cup of brewed coffee has 80 to 150 milligrams of caffeine. "
How would you answer that?
No one drinks a 6 ounce cup of coffee so that comparison is dumb. The norm is 12 oz. or better. Sometimes health advocates just need to get a life and stop being...whatever. By the way I am a coffee farmer so far as disclosure.
Good part about the comparison.
