RE: Did a 16 year old Really Die from a Caffeine Overdose?

in #news8 years ago

The caffeine situation is out of control. It is the number 1 drug in the world. I'm assuming it could have killed him but was probably in combination with his electrolytes getting out of wack or or something like that.

Sort:  

I can hear you there. It's almost like it's own food group nowadays. Luckily as I've gotten older I've toned it back to only having a couple cups in the morning. It was pretty necessary when I worked overnights though, lol.

That's my guess too, that it was something getting out of whack that messed with some of those levels. Personally, I don't think the headline used in the news stories of 'caffeine overdose' is an accurate way to describe the situation.
