Caffeine: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
America’s Drug of Choice
The United States has the highest caffeine consumption in the entire world.
Our days begin with it. We reach for it to avoid an afternoon crash. It is even offered with dessert after dinner.
According to USA Today, “Coffee has become more than just a shot of caffeine. It's a $30 billion-a-year national industry, a foodie fixation, an affordable luxury, a boost of disease-fighting antioxidants, a versatile ingredient, an intoxicating aroma, and a beverage that brings people together.”
However, too much of a good thing is still too much. Although caffeine provides many health benefits, there are just as many unhealthy consequences.
Join me for Caffeine: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly to understand how caffeine is both beneficial and harmful to your health, the ways it interacts with your body, and what you can do to take control of your consumption.

For example:

-8 oz cup of instant coffee has between 27-173 mg of caffeine
-8 oz cup of decaffeinated coffee has between 3-12 mg of caffeine
-1 oz of espresso contains between 30-90 mg of caffeine.
Different types of tea also have varying concentrations of caffeine, such as an 8 oz serving of the following:
-White Tea: 30-55 mg

-Black Tea: 60-90 mg
-Oolong Tea: 50-75 mg

The varying amounts and frequent appearance of caffeine in our diet make it difficult to truly know how much caffeine we are consuming on a regular basis. This hinders our ability to truly address if our regular use of caffeine is helping or hurting us!
