What is it about Dunkin' Donuts coffee and why do I keep drinking it?!


Question: What is it about Dunkin' Donuts coffee and why do I keep drinking it!?
I don't know why I keep drinking the stuff if I keep getting these results, but every single time I drink a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, I get these weird symptoms!. Tremor in my hands, dizziness, slight nausea, and then usually one or two bouts of diahrrea follow (sorry to be gross)!. My question is what could be making me react this way!? I'm not allergic to caffeine; I drink Coke or Pepsi and I'm fine!. It's not the sugar; there again, I drink soft drinks or sweet tea and I'm fine!. Maybe not making the wisest choices in terms of dietary content, but I'm no worse off than the average person!. It's only when I drink DD iced coffee!. I should mention that I don't drink hot coffee, even at home; I just don't care for it!. So it's hard to say whether I could have a "coffee allergy"--but whoever heard of such a thing!?!? Anyway if you have any insights, let me know!. Thx!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i know a lot about coffee and caffeine!. i work for Starbucks!. my best guess would be that your body can't handle that much caffeine!. try decaff, it still has some caffeine but not as much!. a cup of coffee may contain 100 mg of caffeine while a soda contains about 37!. the way your body is reacting, its telling you that your body can't handle it!. caffeine raises your blood pressure, causes panic attacks, increases heart rate and over time can cause heart disease!. caffeine is a legal drug!. you are addicted to it!. and if you stop drinking caffeine, (cold turkey) you will have withdraws, have head aches and be in a bad mood!. this can last up to two weeks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the caffeine content in iced or hot coffee is still significantly higher than soft drinks and tea!.

It could be the milk in the iced coffee, but all the symptoms still sound like reaction to the caffeine!.

does dunkin donuts serve decaffeinated iced coffee!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

CRACK !!!!!!!!!!! They load it up with crack so you become addicted with out knowing !! ITS THE CRACK !!!!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's definitely the caffeine content (as people above said)!. Try decaf, or if you're habitually drinking a medium or a large, try getting a small!. also, iced coffee has more caffeine than hot coffee (it is brewed stronger so that it doesn't get too diluted as the ice melts), so maybe try switching to a small size of hot coffee!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you drink it because you don't have good taste in coffee, and I don't mean getting starbucks or anything!. Wow that stuf is gross! It's the beans they use and how they effect you!. The symptons are obvious, it's the same ones people who have over indulged themselves get from too much caffeine!. It's like OD'ing on bean caffiene!. It's because coffee caffiene is more natural then red bulls or pop!. also Iced Coffee has so much more caffiene in it then regular drip!. They cold brew iced coffees for hours(usually 18-22) into a coffee concentrate and then it's suppose to be diluted 50/50 w/ water!.

You just are oding on caffiene and your body is reacting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
