Amount of caffeine?

[EHStaley]

Would you want the amount of caffeine in drinks to be printed in the nutritional facts like sugar, carbs, etc. ? I am interested to see what the consensus is. I would think people would be surprised to know the amounts of the drinks they are drinking.

I think that's a good idea. I hear starbucks coffee is extremely high in caffeine. Sure gives me the jitters.

Heck yeah!!!
If my sister-in-law gives my daughter 1 more mt dew at 9 pm, I'm gonna strangle her. I keep telling her it has lots of caffine, but she "won't believe it til she sees it."

[EHStaley]

Mt. Dew has 55mg per 12 oz serving.

Caffeine raises insulin levels in the blood. This is critical information for people who are diabetic, have insulin resistance, or otherwise need to watch that.

"black gold" , "Texas tea ( not oil but can look like it !) ", "bean juice", "java juice" The list goes on but 3 cups or more a day makes the world go round. ")

I say absolutely, especially since I can’t have caffeine and am on a low carb diet.

i drink something called razor from my gym every day to help w/ focus and endurance and its got 300mg of caffeine, close to 6 shots of espresso, down that in 30 seconds

i say make caffiene illegal like cocaine or herion-punishable by death of coarse.

[ngcsubutterbar]

interesting about the diabetic thing. Didn't know that that caffine did that.

I've never gotten any kind of 'sugar rush' or anything like that. so I don't know if that would actually matter to 'me'

I find it strange that the preferred hot beverage for English people is tea but for Americans its coffee, why is that?

Officially:Because coffee comes from South America (over by us) while tea comes from India which was once controlled by England.
My Opinion: Because coffee is stronger than tea and in England (where men are desperate and the sheep are nervous) tea is about all that they can handle. :p

I couldn't function without the assitance of caffiene

Caffiene doesn't affect me much, I can drink 3-4 cups of coffee and go right to sleep, same goes for Mt. Dew, or anything else...
In HS we used to buy "Jolt" sodas, it advertizes right on the can that it has twice the caffine of any other soft drink.

It never did much for me either... I
