Things Mentioned:

  • In exploring these 21 common misunderstandings, much of the information presented draws heavily on a comprehensive review published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, highlighting the complex and nuanced relationship between caffeine and our health.

  • According to research,

    • "Current guidelines, such as those issued by the FDA, generally consider a daily caffeine intake of up to 400 mg as safe for most adults. Nevertheless, the need for personalized risk assessment cannot be overstated, especially among populations with preexisting cardiovascular conditions or heightened susceptibility to other CNS stimulants and/or preexisting (but otherwise unknown) CVD."

  • According to this research,

    • "Due to its broad presence in the food supply, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended a daily limit of 400 mg or 0.4 grams. Further, ‘the FDA estimates toxic effects, like seizures, can be observed with rapid consumption of around 1,200 milligrams of caffeine, or 0.15 tablespoons of pure caffeine.’”
