Caffeine
- By Leanne Wiggins
How many cokes do you drink a day? Mountain Dew? Whatevers left in your
secret stash of Jolt? (Oh come on, we all have one). The one thing that people mostly drink these high caffeinated drinks
is beacuse of the caffeine, consiously, or sub-consiously.
According to the National Soft Drink Association, the following is the
caffeine content in mgs per 12 oz can of soda:
Afri-Cola 100.0 (?)
Red Bull 80 (per 250 ml)
Jolt 71.2
Sugar-Free Mr. Pibb 58.8
Pepsi One 55.5
Mountain Dew 55.0 (no caffeine in Canada)
Diet Mountain Dew 55.0
Kick citrus 54 (36mg per 8oz can, caffeine from guarana)
Mello Yellow 52.8
Surge 51.0
Tab 46.8
Battery energy drink -- 140mg/l = 46.7mg/can
Coca-Cola 45.6
Shasta Cola 44.4
Shasta Cherry Cola 44.4
Shasta Diet Cola 44.4
Mr. Pibb 40.8
OK Soda 40.5
Sunkist orange 40
Dr. Pepper 39.6
Storm 38
Big Red 38
Pepsi Cola 37.2
Aspen 36.0
Diet Pepsi 35.4
RC Cola 36.0
Diet RC 36.0
Canada Dry Cola 30.0
Barq's Root Beer 23
Canada Dry Diet Cola 1.2
7 Up 0
Diet Rite Cola 0
Sprite 0
Mug Root Beer 0
Diet Barq's Root Beer 0
Sundrop Orange 0
Minute Maid Orange 0
A & W Root Beer 0
Thats
alot of caffeine for one day, isn't it? Most people drink a bottle of coke, instead of a 12 oz. can. By means of comparison, a 7 oz cup
of coffee has the following caffeine (mg) amounts, according to Bunker and McWilliams in J. Am. Diet.
74:28-32, 1979: Drip 115-175
Espresso 100mg of caffeine
1 serving (1.5-2oz)
Brewed 80-135
Instant 65-100
Decaf, brewed 3-4
Decaf, instant 2-3
Tea, iced (12 ozs.) 70
Tea, brewed, imported 60
Tea, brewed, U.S. 40
Tea, instant 30
Mate 25-150mg
The variability in the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee or tea is relatively large even if
prepared by the same person using the same equipment and ingredients day after day. To find
