That is a pretty heavy dose of caffeine, about the same amount in 8-10 cans of soft drink. Although some people could get there with supplements or a BIG Starbucks. I wonder if this effect would hold up in an exercise condition. I hope this lab continues to follow this line of research. Thanks for posting.
I responded in another thread about my own issues last year.
Long story short, after trying all kinds of adjustments (diet, meal size, carb reduction, iron intake, regular blood testing)… In the end, eliminating caffeine 100% and replacing with simple water completely eliminated my issues.
I now drink decaf after a complete coffee withdrawal for 2-3 weeks. All is good!
Just sayin’…
