Avoid taking too much caffeine when it is being taken as an over-the-counter drug. Consider how much caffeine is being taken in from coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, and other foods that contain caffeine. Check with a pharmacist or healthcare professional to find out how much caffeine is safe to use.
Caffeine cannot replace sleep and should not be used regularly to stay awake as the drug can lead to more serious sleep disorders, like insomnia.
People who use large amounts of caffeine over long periods build up a tolerance to it. When that happens, they have to use more and more caffeine to get the same effects. Heavy caffeine use can also lead to dependence. If an individual stops using caffeine abruptly, withdrawal symptoms may occur, including headache, fatigue, drowsiness, yawning, irritability, restlessness, vomiting, or runny nose. These symptoms can go on for as long as a week. In addition, caffeine dependence is not confined to the adult population. A study published in 2002 found that American teenagers have a high rate of caffeine dependence, partly because they consume large amounts of carbonated beverages that contain caffeine.
If taken too close to bedtime, caffeine can interfere with sleep. Even if it does not prevent a person from falling asleep, it may disturb sleep during the night.
The notion that caffeine helps people sober up after drinking too much alcohol is a myth. In fact, using caffeine and alcohol together is not a good idea. The combination can lead to an upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting.
Older people may be more sensitive to caffeine and thus more likely to have certain side effects, such as irritability, nervousness, anxiety, and sleep problems. Recent findings also suggest that people with insulin-dependent diabetes should monitor their caffeine intake. One study published in 2002 found that caffeine appears to decrease insulin sensitivity by about 15%.
Untrue. Coffee is what scientists call a 'miracle drink'. Keeps you from getting Parinson's, retards onslaught of Alzheimer's, and doesn't cause cancer. Does not stunt growth. Take my word for it.

I have been drinking at least one cup a day since I was 10, I just turn 50 yrs old yesterday, I am 6' 4" and weigh 290 lbs, I did not paly football either??, the stimulant in coffee the caffiene is a bit of an issue with some parents, and those fattening coffee beverages from Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, the ones with all the suagr, cream and tripe size prtion can be a strain on the waistline and the allowance , at over $3 a pop.
I would regulate the amount and types maybe, it is not somehting I would if I were a parent make alot of nor would I look the other way when my son/daughter walks in from school carrying a triple or vendi size double maccachino from Starbucks 3 to 4 time a week, they put them so close to schools now and the kids just love the caffiene and sugar buzz, I think like tobacco it should be regulated in some areas, not one can be built within 2 miles of a high/or public school, they will not hike that far for a coffee and at those prices
No!
It better not. I am a young teen who started drinking coffee recently. I was on the shorter side before, so I don't want it to stunt growth! Then I'd be in trouble!
