Doctors researching the effects of caffeine are calling for warning labels
on popular energy drinks, some of which contain caffeine levels equivalent
to 14 cans of soda.
Caffeine overdose can trigger nausea, headaches,
and in very rare cases, death. Experts are concerned that the labels do not
make clear just how much caffeine is in these drinks, which cause consumers
to take unnecessary health risks.
The FDA has approved a caffeine level of 71 milligrams per can, but
researchers find they are not enforcing this ruling.
At least 130 energy drinks now exceed the FDA'S acceptable caffeine limit.
