Amount Of Caffeine In Soft Drinks Information

Jess replied: "the SUGARS and artificial ingredients in the pepsi, coke, soft drinks, etc will cause break outs. plus, caffiene is a diuretic so you loose a lot of water and your skin suffers and gets dry however, a moderate amount of green tea can be good for the skin not for the caffeine, but for the large amounts of antioxidants topically, caffeine is great for reducing dark circles as it cause the blood vessels to constrict"

Nurse Practitioner 31 years replied: "Everybody's skin is different, so if you are having problems you associate with caffeine, switch to plain water. Also consider the amount of sugar and calories you are taking in. One thing about caffeine that will certainly impact your skin is the diuretic effect. Caffeine will cause your skin to become dry because you lose more fluid. Another thing to think about... are you having excessive thirst ? That is a symptom of diabetes. I suggest you change your beverages to something more healthy. Good luck, and stay healthy."

Should energy drinks have a drinking age? Red Bull, Monster, etc? I think the amount of caffeine should be limited in soft drinks. Even Mountain Dew has too much Caffeine. The all caps guy drinks this crap all the time.. Go figure..

danga replied: "for sure, 18 and older"

Mahyar G replied: "Of course, some person drank two cans of red bull, and their body couldn't handle the caffeine and they died afterward. I think perhaps 18 or 19 is good. That way, high school students can't cheat in gym class by drinking some cans, harming their body, and getting an unfair advantage in physical tests."

Mister K replied: "Personally, I hate energy drinks and think they should be less produced. However, since so many teenagers like them, if they must put a drinking age on them, I'd say 13 and up. Also, sodas are not energy drinks no matter the amount of caffeine or sugar; they are not engineered and created specifically for the purpose of being an energy drink, and are thusly in their own category, hence soda."

iceman replied: "Why do people like you think putting age restrictions actually helps? Kids want what they CANT have. You put an 18 or 21 stamp on engery drinks and before you know EVERY kid in the world is drinking them. By the way, we are the only country inthe world that enforces a 21 drinking age. Yet we are right up in the tops in drunk driving deaths and alcoholism related problems. It does nothing to help. Kids can always get what they want anyway."

Mitch replied: "no, the parents should know what their kids are drinking"

Sean replied: "no because i drink them a lot and if they set a drinking age i will be out of luck"

Describe your caffeine use? Describe your caffeine use - including soft drinks, coffee, tea, cocoa, and chocolate. Include the types of caffeine you intake, the amount, the time of day you usually partake of caffeine, what affects you feel from caffeine products, and what affects you feel if you do not partake of your normal caffeine intake

Jennifer replied: "My caffeine intake comes from tea and coffee bost mostly from soft drinks. The amounts differ but usually when it comes to soft drinks about two cans each day with one can of Arizona green tea. Coffee I have on occasion but it's rare. I am trying to wean myself off of caffeine just because I don't like to feel dependant on something. If I go a few days without it I begin to get migraines which go away as soon as I have another soda."

Doris replied: "I drink natural coffee and hot chocolate if that counts. I can't get up in the morning without coffee and I drink coffee because I love it. Personally I do not feel like getting any energy from it but I just love drinking it. I do not drink it with sugar or milk and some days I drink seven cups of coffee per day . Some days I drink only two . The thing I observed is that if I drink coffee before going to bed I can still sleep all night but get up early in the morning, which I can't do if I don't drink it. That's the effect caffeine has over me."

Tina replied: "I drink almost a gallon of ice tea a day. I start from the time I get up until I go to bed. I don't do it for the caffeine per say but when I don't have it I do get terrible headaches."

Can somebody revise or correct my sentences? and can you add a funny thing? Drinking Soda Soda is one of the most popular soft drinks here in the Unite States. Maybe it is the caffeine that makes soda taste so good, or maybe it is the sugar. Soda is now a household item, just like milk. There is a study showed that the United State is the most country that it’s people drinking soda. The average American drinks about 65 gallons of soda a year. The largest customers for soda are teenagers and children. According to the Centre for Science, teenagers in the United States now drinking soda twice as much as milk. Fifty-six percent of 8-year-olds down soft drinks daily. We have all to think about the harmful effects of this drink in our bodies. Soda causes many health problems that everyone can suffer from like fattiness, tooth decay, and caffeine dependence. Recently a study showed a strong link between drinking soda and childhood obesity, that is because of the big amount of sugar that a can of soda has which is about ten teaspoons of sugar. It is made sure that sugar can be cause to high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart diseases. Soda includes a high amount of calories too, almost 150 calories per 12 once can. In my opinion the main cause for why children like to drink soda is that soda is available in school. Second, tooth decay. Newly a study showed nearly 3200 Americans 9 to 29 years old who drink soda have tooth decay. Not just because of the high level of sugar in soda, but because of all element in soft drinks that cause tooth problems. The acids in soda pop are also notorious for etching tooth enamel in ways that can cause to cavities. Third, I will talk about caffeine dependence. Soda like coffee includes large amounts of caffeine. Even sofa drink industry agrees that caffeine causes the same effects in children as adults, therefore, people who drink soda because addicted on it because their need for the caffeine. Soda contains an average of 35 to 38 milligrams per 12 ounce can. Even diet sodas which are usually chosen by those who are trying to control calories and sugar often pack a lot more caffeine than regular soda. If you are still drinking soda this is something that is quite simple to stop. In my mind there is absolutely no justification and reason to drink soda. Both sugar and NutraSweet are deadly to your health and will gradually rob you of it. So stick to pure water.

"Funny" thing you can add: Why would you like to drink a substance that can even be used to remove rust from a metal surface!!??? *note: this is what I read that can be done with Coke.

Am I drinking too much caffeine? I don't think I am but I just want to be on the safe side. During this pregnancy it has been really hard for me to keep back the nausea, one of the only drinks that helps is Mt. Dew. I know, it's one of the worst soft drinks I could drink but it's really the only one that helps. I only drink one a day, maybe two sometimes, depending on how I feel. Are two Mt. Dew's a day too much caffeine for the baby? What about coffee? I stick to decaf but I hear it isn't much better. When I researched amounts I read on several web sites that no more than 300mg of caffeine a day is the limit, 300 mg seems like a lot. Any info. would be helpful.

David replied: "if you drink other liquids, like water, you should be o.k."

mAx&cHiPPeRLoVer; replied: "i decaf a day... cut the mtn dew.. not safe. ask your doc. about the mntn dew. but till then lay off. sorry i know its hard."

Pankaj replied: "Studies revealed that coffee is America’s No. 1 source of antioxidants, an important compound that protects you from toxic free radicals that causes various diseases. There is no qualm that coffee has a long history of being blamed for causing heart diseases and cancer. But mounting research data suggests that for most people, coffee can be far more healthful than it is harmful. This article will provide you more information about amount of coffee:"

Scott S replied: "Have you tried caffeine free Mountain Dew, does it provide the same soothing effect of the regular type you are drinking? Are you aware that caffeine is in other drinks and foods, such as tea and chocolate? In general, I’m very positive about the use of caffeine because of its many benefits. This based on my use of it for almost 4 decades and the medical research that I’m aware of. But, my best pro-caffeine source says there are two issues that argue against the use of caffeine during pregnancy. First, caffeine withdrawal symptoms are observed in infants where the mothers were “heavy” caffeine users. This was based on unusual levels of irritability, jitteriness, and vomiting. (I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to dig into what dosage they refer to as “heavy”.) A number of studies are observing the effects of 200 mg per day on pregnant women. Caffeinated Mountain Dew contains 36 mg per 8oz serving. A can is 12 oz, so that is 54 mg. Two cans is 108 mg, that is less than one-half the recommended limit of 300 mg/day you found. But that is still enough to cause a degree caffeine withdrawal after birth. That suggests your baby would begin life with headaches, body aches, and increased tension. Reducing your dosage would reduce withdrawal symptoms. There is no exact dosage threshold to completely avoid withdrawal (other than zero mg) because people differ in sensitivity to caffeine, but it is pretty low. The second issue is that animal studies have suggested there might be a caffeine related health issue in developing humans. Careful studies such as this one have eliminated some questions raised in earlier studies. However, to date, human studies have not been completed to eliminate all developmental questions raised by the animal studies. It just seems prudent to eliminate caffeine as much as possible during pregnancy. If you reduce your use of caffeine, taper-off over a week to avoid withdrawal symptoms for the two of you. My best source contains summaries of mainstream medical research on caffeine is “The Caffeine Advantage”: Our family uses papaya in chewable tablets to reduce feelings of nausea."

Do people generally think Coca Cola is good for you? Claims Coke will not make children fat or rot their teeth have landed Coca-Cola in trouble with Australia's consumer watchdog, which on Thursday ordered the soft drink company to correct its advertising. As well as claiming Coke did not make children fat or harm their teeth, the full-page print ads sought to combat public perceptions that Coke was packed with large amounts of caffeine. (check it out)

Grimbo ♥ replied: "Yes if you aren't very intellegent"

beejee replied: "nopeee we dont:) i dont drink it myself because its too sweet and sickly and theyre stupid for advertising it like that. pfft."

Amy H replied: "Only the people that will sue Coca cola later on because their products made them over weight and rotted their teeth."

Ditto D replied: "Most people know Coca Cola is not good for you. Only the stupid people who sue McDonald for making them fat believe coke is healthy. When coca cola first came it contained cocaine. Some say it still does."

Chaosman replied: "One 355ml can of Coca-Cola Calories: 160 Sugar: 42g Caffeine: 46mg Drinking one can of Coca-Cola is similar to drinking a coffee with 5 spoonfuls of sugar. There is also a very strong acid in it called phosphoric acid. It's bad for your teeth. All of this being said, there is nothing really bad for your health in Coca-Cola. Like anything else, taken in moderation, combined with a normal dental health regimen, there should be no problem with drinking a can of Coke or two every now and then. Take care!"

Trust Me replied: "To be honest with you I've been drinking coke for years and years and years, the only problem I've had with my teeth are the ones caused by dentists drilling and filling when I was a kid, and no I didn't drink coke as a kid. As for sugar, well I have around 10 coffees a day with 3 sugars in each. I'm 47, slim as anything, always have been, look like I'm in early thirties, (that's boyce from fools and horses in the pic by the way!) and have never had a serious illness in my life, mumps as a kid, chicken pox as an adult and colds and flus. So, basically, I enjoy coca cola, I drink at least a can a day, and I don't give a stuff what tests and analysis say about it."

steph replied: "doctors use to claim it would settle your upset stomach 40 years ago but we know now this is not true"

ananth p replied: "No coca cola cola /Pepsi cola are not a healthy drinks. India had banned it in year 1977 for not disclosing the content inside it. But later on it had to budge to US free trade lobby. It neither creates more jobs anywhere nor gives any nutritional value. Yes a few people who are running the company are getting richer and richer."

Christina replied: "it's really bad because of all the acid. i used to drink a lot of it as a teenager and i ended up with ulcers in my stomach! i now have acid reflux and have to take a pill for it every single day!!"

Robin C replied: "Coca Cola is full of sugar, bad for the teeth and if you drink a lot of sugar then eventually it turns to fat. Even Diet Sodas are bad for you, and the caramel coloring is harsh on the system. Caffeine is always something to watch out for. Having a Coke once in a while won't be harmful, you just don't want to have it as part of you regular diet."

jimbell replied: "I know people who claim that "it's not that bad", but I don't know anybody who thinks that soda is good for you."

wispa icecream3 replied: "coke is full of sugar so what moron would think it was good for you but at least coke is a damn whole lot better than pepsi pepsi is just chemicals"

♥♥♥ replied: "No I know it isn't good for you, I don't drink it"

gangsta kid replied: "no they don't cos it's fizzy and sugar contains hidden fat, but it's good in one way because it tastes great and makes you feel good. yeah brov i is da best!!"

should the legendary high-caffeinated soft drink SURGE be brought back onto shelves in the US? Many people including myself miss the beverage SURGE. Even though it is high-caffeine, it has only 74% of Mountain Dew's caffeine level. In case you havent heard, studies show that Mountain Dew contains almost the exact same amount of acid as a standard car battery (for a 1993 Honda civic). And that is just disturbing. Surge sold over 78 million cases (24 cans/case) in its first year. Some of these extremely acidic beverages i.e. mountain dew and vault need to get off the shelves and make way for SURGE!

statistics replied: "i haven't really heard of surge myself...wouldnt mind trying, so bring it back! but i do love mountain dew! never knew i was drinking car batteries though..."

krystal s replied: "I miss having a can of SURGE while I study at night. How that heck am I going to pass the mid-term without it? I won't be able to stay awake! Mountain Dew is absolute poison and Red Bull is too weak. Grrr...."

steven y replied: "Yes they should because it is amazing, btw i still have and use the surge alarm clock that i won from under the cap game. It will wake anyone up garaunteed!"

Daisie replied: "yes, they should definitely bring SURGE back"

Big Red replied: "Surge IS back on the shelves in the US....but its now called "Vault". Keep trying Coca Cola...someday you might have a 'neon citrus' soft drink that can compete with Mt. Dew."

Sam replied: "I would probably think so. Do you?"

is it ok to follow chocolate diet to loose weight? What to Eat in Chocolate Diet Breakfast *Fresh fruit *Fruit salad *Shredded wheat with non-fat milk and strawberries Morning Snacks *Popcorn *Fruit Lunch *Salads with low calorie dressing *Pasta salad with low calorie dressing *Spaghetti Afternoon Snacks *Popcorn *Vegetable sticks *Fruit smoothie strictly with non-fat skim milk.

Same is the case with the chocolate diet. There is a big debate amongst nutrition specialists and dieticians about its pros and cons. Before switching completely to this diet, it is better to consult your doctor and get all the tests done, to ensure that it is not harmful for your body in any manner. Also, remember this is not a permanent diet, so after sometime, you need to switch on to some other diet, in order to avoid monotony and replenish the nutrient missing from your body, if any. Pros *It helps one overcome the depression that is often experienced during dieting. *It is a boon for the chocoholics who want to reduce weight. *It promotes the intake of vegetables and fruits. *The diet is not monotonous. It offers variety in almost all the meals. Cons *The calorie intake is too low for people who are physically hyperactive. *Though the diet is varied, it is not stuffing enough. *Some people may find that chocolate, when taken in small amounts, increases their craving. *This is not a long term diet. *Losing 7 pounds in two weeks seems a bit unhealthy. *This diet will not be liked by people who don't crave chocolate. my daughter is fan of this diet

Insolentleet aka Javid replied: "what's wrong with caffeine? caffeine is good for fat loss it also seems to be heavily lacking in protein, unless this is for females you're mal-nutritioning yourself. You can get vitamins from pills, but where're you getting your protein from? and as you've mentioned it has almost no calories to it... I'd say females can easily get the most out of this and it'll work and 7 lbs in 2 weeks, is slightly unhealthy, but since you're getting no sodium you're going to lose water weight. i wouldn't be surprised if 2lbs from that weight would be water. which would then result in 5 actual pounds of weight loss...that's not bad at all."

Instead of eating an ounce of chocolate go for a walk and bug out on the trees, then have a cup of tea and meditate before you go to bed. Short term diets are foolish, to be blunt. Change habits and change your mind and you will be changed for the better. Short term diets are nothing more than excuses. Above all, remember this: The way has no true shape and therefore we cannot control it. If a ruler could control the way all things would follow in harmony with his desire, and sweet rain would fall, effortlessly slaking every thirst. The way is shaped by use, but then the shape is lost, do not hold fast to shapes but let sensation flow into the world as a river courses down to the sea. -Tao Te Ching, chapter 32. "Shapes""

exponential decay function? A serving of a popular cola soft drink has 46 mg of caffeine. Suppose the half-life for caffeine remaining in he body of a typical adult is 6 h. Write an exponential decay function that gives the amount of caffeine in the body after t hours. I don't understand, can anyone please help? Thanks!

math guy replied: "Let c = caffeine left in body (in mg) t = time (in hours) e is approx = 2.72 c = 46 * 0.5^(t/6) This means that you start with 46 mg of caffeine in your body and after every 6 hours, you have half as much left. I hope this helps!"

anand t replied: "see, N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/T) Now T = (t1/2 ) / (ln 2) So By calculating value of T and putting it into the above equation u can find out the value of caffine after t hrs. Getting it? For further query contact :"
