Todays health note:
How much caffeine is to much..Because of the wide variety of products containing caffeine a person may be ingesting a large amount without being aware of it. Sources of caffeine include items sold to help in fitness and sporting performance, energy drinks, soft drinks, various medicines, herbal tonics containing guarana, as well as coffee, tea and chocolate.
Caffeine overdose can cause nausea, diarrhoea, light-headedness and urinary frequency. Caffeine withdrawal even after moderate chronic intake may be associated with headache, nausea, nervousness, reduced alertness and depressed mood. Symptoms are most acute in the first 20-48 hours but they may persist for as long as seven days.

No known health risks are associated with drinking 2-3 coffee cups' worth of caffeine a day, or about 300-400 mg. However, the jury is still out on the potential for adverse effects at levels of intake above that.

So take a look below, because i want everyone to be healthy and happy!!
