    Because I can do math? I don’t need a medical degree if I just read studies from people who have medical degrees.

    As a layperson, I make decisions based on what scientists tell me, rather than thinking I know more than scientists.

      Can you show where that says that three cups of coffee in a row is safe for a child?

        Again you need define “child” here.

        For adolescents that’s 100-175mg/day, equivalent to 1.5 Monster energy drinks, or a large iced coffee. Per studies, that’s fine for a 12 year old but I wouldn’t want my 12 year old drinking adult beverages with any regularity. I’d rather work on there sleep habits, etc.

        Worth noting that higher caffeine take is associated with things like poor diet/etc, but not causally linked.

          Per day and all at once are two different things. One is a concentrated dose, the other is spread out. You’re not even accounting for that.

            Do you have data showing speed on consumption is relevant? I honestly never considered and don’t have any info

              Do I have data that a solution is stronger when it is not diluted? Every chemistry book ever?

                That’s… Not how human body processes things.

                My mistake for assuming this was a real conversation between interested people.

                  Really? So it’s just as toxic to drink something in one dose as it is to drink it in several doses throughout the day? Weird, I wonder why medicine is spaced out across the day so often?

                    Many reasons! Sometimes to achieve stable levels, sometimes due to interactions with cellular processes.

                    Do you want to go into that? I can share what I know. You don’t seem to be engaging in good faith tho :/
