Being "scientifically illiterate" can have a price.

Cory,

 

The one I remember is when McDonalds lost the 5 million dollar lawsuit. Their coffee cups now say, "caution, contents may be hot".

Yes I know; but do you know the back story to that?

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

50-60 Pro Plus tablets should see you out the door feet first; whether you believe it or not.

 

 

I hadn't realised that you could overdose on caffeine - I drink a lot of coffee during an evening, (fresh, not instant - don't have any instant in the house) and have never understood the palava about it being a stimulant - it doesn't make me jump around like a loony and I sleep very soundly every night despite my coffee intake, (and the cheese for supper).

 

This from an on-line Caffeine Calculator - I only entered my tea and coffee intake, didn't bother with the rest of the foodstuffs " Your caffeine intake exceeds the recommended safe levels. You should reduce your caffeine intake." Yah boo sucks to that.

 

Anyone who takes 50 or 60 of anything in a short space of time deserves anything they get.

You're like me then. Heavy caffeine users become tolerant to some side effects of the stuff, it stops being a diuretic, it does not stop everyone from sleeping at night either, but you can still die if you have an overdose.

You can overdose on anything even drinking to much water can have lethal consequences

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
