Caffeine is a worldwide popular stimulant known for its invigorating effect. Its lethal dose is more than 80 milligrams per liter of blood, which would require drinking 10 liters of coffee in a short time. The history of caffeine begins in Ethiopia, where an invigorating drink was made from coffee berries. Arabs began roasting coffee beans in the 13th century, and coffee spread to Europe in the 17th century, initially facing opposition but later gaining favor with papal approval. Cafes became important meeting places, and the invigorating effect of coffee was well suited to the spirit of the new age, partially replacing the earlier popularity of beer. Caffeine is also found in tea, cocoa and guarana, which is an important ingredient in energy drinks. The effects of caffeine on the body are manifold: it stimulates by inhibiting the action of adenosine, stimulates the dopamine and glutamate systems, and can enhance fat burning. However, excessive caffeine consumption can lead to negative effects such as anxiety and insomnia. Children and young people are especially sensitive to the effects of caffeine, and it is recommended that they limit their caffeine intake. In the late 19th century, caffeine became more and more familiar, and in the 20th century, Coca-Cola and other soft drinks popularized the use of caffeine even more. Energy drinks, whose history begins in Japan in the 1960s, are a modern phenomenon that, in addition to caffeine, offer taurine and guarana to improve performance. Taurine and guarana are important ingredients, but there is no convincing evidence of their independent effects on caffeine enhancement. Excessive use of energy drinks can cause health risks, and their use in children and adolescents should be avoided.
