That's about one cup of coffee or 12oz of Mountain Dew. Most 16 oz energy drinks bring 150mg plus to the table. 200mg is half of my previous intake.TheCatt wrote:Duuddee...

Caffeine functions not by waking you up, but by blocking the shit that makes you tired. That's a big, big fucking list for me, and I need all the mg I can safely get.

Wtf? I've staved off my problem for about 4 years when I'll have to find a new supplier.
EDIT: Goddamn. I punched way, way too much of a quantity in. Need to chat with the seller and dial it down. Hmm, I wonder if Canadian companies still produce it?

Sweet. They refunded the 8 kilos I didn't mean to order. North Carolina company, too.
Bridge City Bulk, Hard Eight Nutrition, Kreativ Health, PureBulk, and SmartPowders got hit with letters yesterday. New supplier's name ain't on that list. Yet. Here's how all this shit started.

They learned, and shared with us, that Logan and Wade both thought this form of caffeine would be a safe way to get an energy boost. Both were able to obtain it cheaply and easily. Wade had sought out the product as a way to avoid the added sugar and sodium associated with soda or energy drinks. He had even downloaded a conversion chart to try to calculate the right dose to take.

Re: caffeine, the next great Satan of health
And it's back.
If only someone produced books exclusively for purposes of understanding chemical substances and their interaction with the human body...Concentrated caffeine can easily be purchased online as a powder, liquid or even an inhaler, and is often advertised as a health supplement, with little or no warning about its potency.
Lawmakers and advocates are calling on the FDA to ban concentrated caffeine products, saying there is no way they can be sold or consumed safely. They note it’s impossible to measure out the recommended dose of 1/16 teaspoon.
You have to be fist fucking me. I'm sorry your son sucked at math and science that badly.The parents of another victim, 24-year-old Wade Sweatt, said he died after going into a coma just minutes after trying the powder for the first time. On his phone, they found he had been Googling conversion charts trying to determine how much to take.
“It’s like an explosive, a catastrophe waiting to happen,” Sen Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told reporters today.

Re: caffeine, the next great Satan of health
1/16 = 1/2 a pinch, I learned the other day.
Some recipe called for a pinch of salt, so I literally put in a pinch of salt. My wife just looked at me. "Don't you know a pinch is a unit of measure?" "What?" "Yes, it's 1/8 of a teaspoon" "Then why don't they just say 1/8 of a teaspoon?"

The Jolt of coffee.
On the flip side, the dudes at purebulk.com finally loosened up and put caffeine powder back up for sale on their website. Sweet.It’s apparently a hot contest for the global title of strongest coffee, with companies such as Death Wish in the running. Food & Wine gives context with this math: Caffeine Informer lists 351mg of caffeine in a 6-ounce cup of Black Insomnia, compared with 330mg for Death Wish.
That’s skirting the maximum 400mg per day that the Mayo Clinic recommends for “healthy adults.” A normal cup packs a relatively paltry 70mg.
