**Does anyone know if there is age & weight class for caffeine intake ?

This definitely need to be addressed, i know there is a program soon to be put in place so that every new ed comes out needs to put on there label (the amount of caffeine per serving) ?

**The amount of work load for these young adults & lets not forget adults ages 15-35 is absolutely ludicrous so what do they do ...turn to the quicker picker upper of 2007 ( " extreme caffeine " ) ed's with 300mg-600mg or 80mg-100mg ! 1-5 a day !! I am overwhelmed by it, how about you ?

Do they realize also the amount of total sugar they are taking in !

My question is WHEN DOES IT START TO GET DANGEROUS (CAFFEINE) for A AVERAGE HEALTHY PERSON with a active lifestyle ?

I think an "average" energy drink consumed daily is dangerous. I used to do it, and every morning my resting heart rate would be mid 80's or even up to 90. All the "energy" affects your sympathetic NS and affects the brain in a way where the heart rate is constantly high. This increased heart rate and pounding is not good constantly and can lead to stretching and weakening of the myocardium. I love energy drinks and I only use them when i need a good pick me up, not every day and for just any ole reason. I'm no doctor, but too much of anything is not good for you.

So I guess since the increase heart beat is bad for the myocardium(muscle tissues of the heart) I should stop exercising.

Daily use of an "average" energy drink will do nothing more than create excess fat storage if calorie input are higher than calorie output.

The actual requirement will affect all beverages or foods with non naturally occuring caffeine in them, not just ED's.

greg that sounds good that will affect all !!

But do you know how many milligrams of caffeine.. it takes before it does effect you ..where the body is beyond tolerance ? ie.. THE BODY IS WORKING ON OVERLOAD !!

I do see where you are coming from...BUT JUST LIKE YOU SAID 2 MUCH OF ANYTHING IS NOT GOOD...EVERYTIHNG IN MODERATION !! If we can only read this clearly and be able to follow through ..the world would be in a better place.. unfortunately ... things don't happen that way !! thats where ADDICTIONS...come into play in every facet of life and the ed market is no different !!!

That question has too many variables associated with it to provide a straight answer. Everyone is different. I may be able to drink 4 beers and be ok while others may only be able to drink 1 and they will be falling all over the place.
Same goes for medicine. My grandfather, that lived in the out in the country, rarely took any medication for anything. When he had to go into the hospital for some pain problems they gave him straight tylenol and he hallucinated.
Our individual endocrine system, metabolism, weight, frequency of use, etc will have an effect on the ability to tolerate X amount of mgs of caffeine.

There will always be someone our some organization that will try and answer that question for you, but not me.
Of course I think 1g is too much but that doesn't mean that it can't be handled by others.We all have to figure out our own tolerances for just about everything we ingest.

There are a lot of answers coming out of the wood work about a lot of stuff, IMO, if someone puts stuff in there body that MAKES things happen like boosting you metabolism, or even to much antibiotics. It will cause the natural elements that makes one function to get lazy or just stop producing all together. Most of the time we would call the addiction or dependency and certain people know that but don't want to admit it....

I can see it now.......Hi I'm...... and I'm a addict, its been three months since my last RedLine....LOL, I just can't say it....all the love Greg, just messing with you.
