Studies on the side-effects of caffeine.
OAKLAND, California (UPI) -- Coffee may be good for life. A
major study has found fewer suicides among coffee drinkers than
those who abstained from the hot black brew.
The study of nearly 130,000 Northern California residents and
the records of 4,500 who have died looked at the effects of
coffee and tea on mortality.
Cardiologist Arthur Klatsky said of the surprising results,
``This is not a fluke finding because our study was very large,
involved a multiracial population, men, women, and examined
closely numerous factors related to mortality such as alcohol
consumption and smoking.''
The unique survey also found no link between coffee
consumption and death risk. And it confirmed a ``weak''
connection of coffee or tea to heart attack risk -- but not to
other cardiovascular conditions such as stroke.
The study was conducted by the health maintenance
organization Kaiser Permanente and was reported Wednesday in the
Annals of Epidemiology.

If a person were injected with 500 milligrams of caffeine...
I read from this page:
http://caffeineweb.com/?p=20
that "If a person were injected with 500 milligrams of caffeine , within about an hour he or she would exhibit symptoms of severe mental illness, among them hallucinations, paranoia, panic, mania, and depression.".
But, no source is stated and I couldn't find any independent sources who confirm this finding.
This is possible to happen? I mean, (large dose of) caffeine can make someone crazy? If this is true, can you point some studies who proves that?
Yay if he eats some acid drop

Caffeine & anxiety
I was a participant in a caffeine study at the National Institute of Health. I was given the equivalent of 5 cups of coffee after being off caffeine for 2-3 weeks. I went into a full blown panic attack. I am not saying that a normal person can experience this, but the effects on a person with a predisposition to anxiety or panic disorder can be extremely negative.
I've recently discovered the
I've recently discovered the wonders of coffee (used to drink 4 cans of soda a day, got out of that, into about 2 cups of tea daily) but as far as research goes, I still have a few questions about effects that seem to take place during the caffeine-period a few hours later. After taking moderate doses of caffeine (eg. 2 cups of coffee or 1 can of Monster) I've experienced a few different changes, that after reading up on them, have proved to be symptoms, but I'm still not convinced. So here's a list, anyone want to fill me in on the actual known symptoms over things I might be exaggerating a bit?
*Personality Change- I've even noticed this as well as others...I seem to be more jumpy/happy when in a caffeine state..mostly all smiles..
*Hyperactive- After the caffeine kicks in, I'm jumpin' off walls..I'm 90% sure this is a symptom but running around and doing things I wouldn't normally do, like sing out loud? Could caffeine take you over that bad?
*Mood swings- Major mood swings half the time..one moment, I'll be happy, but if anything...ANYTHING...goes wrong, I'm pushin' tears...and even when I'm over it, I have trouble regaining happiness, and smiling is like a chore..whys that?..I know this was a symptom of energy drinks, was it the caffeine?
theres a couple other things that have been debated and I'm wondering about a solid answer for, or close to one..so opinions open :)
blood pressure, asthma (helps?), long-term effects (heart disease?) and any other useful effects, short term or long term
Regarding the first questions, I'm 15 years old, 16 in April. I weigh an average of 120 lbs and I drink caffeine regularly but I don't overdo it. I used to drink 4 cans of soda between 2-4 in the morning...which I guess is bad. I drank 1 energy drink every couple days for a week, then stopped. I drink tea every day (2 cups) and started with coffee (1-2 cups daily). So I'd take a swing and say my body should of worked up an O.K defense against something like caffeine, or am I wrong there too?
So, any tips?
Bipolar??
I read your information and can only summize that you are either crazy , a typical knucklehead teenager, or bipolar. The mood swings paragraph brought it out in the open as well as drinking 4 cans of soda between 2 to 4 in the morning. Now THAT is absolutely crazy!! The hyperactive paragraph comes across as an immature 15 to 16 year old doing the stupid things that kids do at that age. Judging by your small size, you are a girl that has a bunch of growing up to do, and if you keep pounding down 4 colas when you should be sleeping, you won't be small for long. Do yourself a favor and get off of the soft drinks, Monster, ritalin, or whatever body chemistry experiment you are on and grow up. Dr. Hugo
Wow, you're so tough
Wow, you're so tough harassing a teenager over the internet, probably for acting just like yourself at that age. Grow up.
wait you are doing the same
wait you are doing the same thing what is you problem get a life
So tough..
I was as immature as any at that age. As far as harrassing, some people need a boot in the keister and I see it in the new troops from time to time by their whiny bit#*ing. A couple of decades of Military gave me no choice, Laura, in growing up. As far as caffiene goes, I gave it up. It was causing me problems coupled with work stress. Decaf tea and coffee for me now!!
everytime i had coffee, i
everytime i had coffee, i will feel not comfortable. my body will start shaking, sweating the whole day. why is that so? could anybody tell me why it happens? i love coffee but i cant take it regularly because of the side effects. pls help.
shaky
sounds very like blood sugar dysregulation. Do everything you can to ensure you are not at a very early stage on the road to diabetes. Avoiding caffeine wld be important for you, as well as sugar - you will find strong emotional situations, and large stresses of any kind can trigger the same reaction as caffeine. See a naturapath or chinese medicine practitioner or somebody who knows how to address the underlying glandular and biochemical issues in your body. good luck!
