For All You Caffeine Lovers Out There

Thanks to Sandra for pointing out this really cool Web site/blog, Energy Fiend. The site has a caffeine database where you can find out just how much caffeine is in each of your favorite beverages. You can even find out how much caffeine is in certain foods.

The part of the site I really love is the “Caffeine News” section. You can find out everything from how a Starbuck’s barista really feels about his/her clients to an inhalable caffeine product (ended up being an April Fool’s joke).

I did notice that there were some comments made in the “Caffeine in Drinks” section that questioned the safety of low-calorie sweeteners and specifically aspartame.

Folks, as I’ve said before I’ve read the studies on these products, taste-tested (in depth) almost every diet soda out there and its safety has been reaffirmed over and over again by credible health organizations. Stop blaming these products for everything under the sun.

Anyways, this is a really interesting site and I’d encourage you to check it out if you’re as much of a caffeine fan as I am.
