National Caffeine Awareness Month highlights the importance of monitoring caffeine intake, particularly with the rise of energy drinks. The FDA recommends a maximum daily consumption of 400 milligrams due to potential health risks, especially for youths. The effects of caffeine are quick and profound, peaking within minutes of consumption, but can lead to sugar crashes and adverse reactions like anxiety in children. Regular consumption can create a tolerance that necessitates increased intake for the same effects, while withdrawal can produce several uncomfortable symptoms.
The rising popularity of energy drinks, known for their high caffeine concentrations, poses significant health risks, particularly to young consumers.
Caffeine's effects can be felt within minutes of consumption, peaking quickly before leading to a notable crash due to sugar overload.
