WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT CAFFEINE?

  • 2 to 3 six ounce cups of coffee per day is considered a moderate intake.
  • Caffeine isn’t just in coffee; it’s in brewed tea, soda, some medicines, and chocolate, too.
  • If you aren’t used to the effects of caffeine, it can make you jittery, upset your stomach, and keep you awake when you want to sleep.
  • If you’re feeling stressed, a cup of coffee can exacerbate, rather than help this feeling.  Too much caffeine can actually hurt a person’s ability to concentrate, making it difficult to study effectively.
