what's better than a hot cup of coffee in the morning...
nothing i can think of
i need that hotness to get me going
it's true that the world runs on coffee
every year, 400 billion cups are consumed
- that's one cup of coffee for 400,000,000,000 people
- but the world only has 7 billion people
some body's drinking more than one...
it's the caffeine fiends that are running the world
kids with ritalin and mountain dew
teens guzzling red bull and full throttle energy drinks
and a whole lot of people downing 5-hour energy
...every couple of hours, whether they need it our not
it's surprising more stuff doesn't get done, or stolen
this makes cardiologists very busy and thus, rich
but what is all this caffeine doing to us...
experts in the coffee field, say that more than 500mgs
causes anxiety, irritability, headaches, sleeplessness
and even spelling difficulties
so between your coffee in the morning
your energy drink during your coffee break
your one or two caffeine laced soft drinks at lunch
your sugar laced energy bar and soda in the afternoon
and your cocktails of red bull and patron before you eat
you're probably having about 50,000mgs of caffeine per day
it only took 40,000 to launch the space shuttle
