Is it Toxic?
Caffeine, which is the world’s most
psychoactive drug, is 100% legal! It is also highly unregulated by the FDA because
of its low toxicity to the human body. Caffeine
has varying effects according to your gender, body size and the overall health
of your system. It is extremely uncommon for death due to excessive caffeine ingestion; the acute lethal dosage of
caffeine is 10 g/person, which is the equivalent of 80-100 cups of coffee. Caffeine toxicity can present itself as irritability,
nervousness, anxiety, depression, aggression, insomnia, gastrointestinal
disturbances, elevated respiratory activity and mild muscle spasms. Not to worry, no need to stop drinking your
favorite energy drink or eating chocolate, because consuming a toxic amount of
caffeine is highly unlikely without purposefully attempting such a task.
Above in the chart you can see that one Wired X505 or Fixx contains 500mg in each bottle/can. If you were to drink 4-5 of those in a day you would very quickly be approaching the highest dosages you should consume in a day (1000-1500mg). Just imagine if you were using that drink as a mixer? It would be all to easy to consume a dangerous amount (in addition to the alcohol)! Be wary of your energy drinks with high dosages, at some point just get some sleep!
