Caffeine - How Much Is Too Much?




Caffeine, which is used to flavor beverages and foods, is found in leaves, seeds, or fruits of over 63 plants.

Caffeine consumed by a mother who breastfeeds is also received by her baby. Yet, moderate amounts (300 milligrams a day maximum) will not harm either the mother or the baby.

Recommended safe amounts of caffeine for:

adults: 300 milligrams a day
children: 35-40 milligrams a day

If you consume a great amount of caffeine daily and want to quit or reduce it, reduce you intake gradually. Otherwise, if you quit cold-turkey, you're apt to suffer with terrible headaches and become irritable.
