Am I the only one who thinks this is a lot? I don't want to argue against this. When I was doing my bachelor's I pulled all nighters with one or two 500ml Monster energy drinks which is ~320mg max. Of course all nighters are not healthy but I was mostly worried about the caffeine intake.
- DanBC 11y agoI think it's a lot. It's scary to see how much caffeine people take.
- lwh 11y agoBut it's only one venti at Starbucks ;)
- leni536 11y agoI imagine 400mg is for daily intake. I don't now how it applies for the intake in one sitting. I had to look it up and Starbucks' venti Brewed Coffee really contains 415mg [1]. Seriously, this product looks dangerous. How come it's not regulated similarly as energy drinks? Maybe it's protected by "caffe culture", but I seriously doubt that drinking half a liter caffe was ever part of any culture.
