Cola drink is not half as bad as brewed
coffee!
Caffeine occurs naturally in more than 60 plants including coffee beans, tea leaves, kola nuts used to flavor soft drink colas, and cacao pods used to make chocolate products. Man-made caffeine is sometimes added to foods, drinks, and medicines. Ninety percent of people in the world use caffeine in one form or another
The FDA says that caffeine is both a drug and a food additive. A caffeine tablet contains as much caffeine as one to three 5-ounce cups of coffee.
Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it makes your body lose more water.

Popularity of coffee, teas,
sodas and energy drinks comes from the caffeine content and its ability to
stimulate central nervous system. While consuming some caffeine daily is
generally regarded as safe, too much may cause adverse health effects.
European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA) advised that caffeine intakes from all sources up to 400 mg
per day do not raise safety concerns for adults
in the general population. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups
of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two "energy shot" drinks. So
cola is not even half as bad as brewed coffee!
And for adolescents the
limit is 100 mg of caffeine a day.
EFSA also advised that
single doses of 100 mg of caffeine may increase sleep latency and reduce sleep
duration in some adult individuals, particularly when consumed close to
bedtime.
