Caffeine’s dirty little secret

The Atlantic quotes Jennifer Temple discussing how much caffeine is too much after Panera's Charged Lemonade, a hyper-caffeinated drink, was implicated in two wrongful-death lawsuits. Temple explains that dozens of energy drinks contain similar amounts of caffeine, and some come in candy-inspired flavors. Consumed quickly and in rapid succession, these foods can lead to potentially toxic caffeine intake “because your body hasn’t had time to tell you to stop,” Temple states.
