Jittery about how much caffeine you sip in light of the lawsuit against Panera’s Charged Lemonade? This chart shows the caffeine content of popular drinks.
A recent lawsuit against Panera Bread that implicates the chain’s caffeinated “Charged Lemonade” in the death of a college student with a heart condition may have given some folks renewed jitters about whether their go-to energy drink is still safe to sip.
What’s more, the caffeine content of different brews and drinks can vary widely. So on Starbucks’s site, a grande Pike Place Roast coffee actually comes in at 310 milligrams of caffeine. In other words, that single Starbucks coffee drink is already almost hitting your daily recommended caffeine cap, before you consider the other caffeine that you might be consuming throughout the day from getting a second cup of coffee; sipping tea, soda or energy drinks; eating chocolate; or taking supplements.
But on the flip side, Red Bull has a relatively low 80 milligrams of caffeine in a single 8.4-ounce can — well below that Starbucks coffee. “I see a lot of younger patients, particularly young men, that are drinking these caffeinated drinks in the morning, or before they go to the gym, and the feeling is that it helps them perform better,” Dr. John Whyte, the chief medical officer at WebMD, told MarketWatch.
Yet the FDA warns that toxic effects, like seizures, can be observed with the rapid consumption of around 1,200 milligrams of caffeine.
