From the NY Times, an article concerning the abuse of caffeine, calling for accurate labeling of energy-drinks as to actual caffeine content. An excerpt:
"Dr. Griffiths notes that caffeine intoxication is a recognized clinical syndrome included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases. It is marked by nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, gastrointestinal upset, tremors, rapid heartbeats, restlessness and pacing, and in rare cases, even death."
Get yourself a cup of coffee, then read the entire Times article.
