That's probably based on the LD-50 for caffeine, which is an accurate measure for death from a substance, but you'd get effects from caffeine well before it became a lethal dose. Just like everything else on the internet, you can't rely on something as a sole source.
Research, research, research. (And no, wikipedia isn't an accurate source, but it IS a decent route to FIND sources)
Same here. I try to limit myself to 1 soda a day because I know I need to lose about 20 pounds. I know if I quit, it would probably come off pretty easy, but I cant. I hate the carbonated flavored waters, so there's not much else that I can drink. I hate diet sodas, coffee, flavored waters, and lots of other things. I also use the coke to combat migraines when they first attack, so I really am hopelessly addicted. :(Quote:

After 3 days, she told me she had slept from 11pm to 9am!!
She is so happy now for my good advize (and I am happy that it worked;)); she even convinced her friend Matthias to stop too:):)
I’m currently trying to cut back on anything that has excessive sugar in, like Coke, fruit juice in excess, just little things.
Currently it’s working, but I’m not giving Coke up completely.
LOL I am addicted to Mt. Dew Code Red.. :)Quote:
