For an obvious counterexample, caffeine is incredibly safe for people of any age and demographic at almost any dosage level.
- BrandoElFollito 4y agoNot only safe but also healthy.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoCaffeine is actually pretty unsafe as the margin between effective dose and lethal dose (usually stated at around 5 grams) is only 100x of a 50mg dose. The margin between a cup of coffee and a lethal dose can be less, like 50x. Much safer than heroin, but a deadly poison compared to e.g. LSD. And coffee is not just caffeine like tobacco smoke is not just nicotine.
- crooked-v 4y ago"It's dangerous to drink 7 pots of coffee in a row" is something that I would still qualify under "incredibly safe". The human stomach can't even hold that much liquid.
