Caffeine levels for a regular 20-ounce serving range from 157 to 260 milligrams on Panera Bread's website
Caffeine is largely safe for most people, but too much of it can be dangerous, as a late press release raised concerns about the caffeine content of Panera Bread's sure-to-be famous drinks and what customers should be aware of about the potential effects on well-being.
According to a complaint filed Monday, a man suffered heart failure after drinking three highly-stimulated Panera Bread's "Charged Lemonades." Replacement studio guards with a cardiovascular problem said their girl kicked a bucket after she polished off one of the drinks in October. According to a Panera representative, the organization is "firmly behind the well-being of our items" and acknowledges that the objections are without merit.
Panera Bread's 'Charged Lemonade' Combines Fears of Death with Caffeine
Representative Hurl Schumer recently raised concerns about the high concentration of caffeine in PRIME Energy drinks and asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct an investigation.
Specialists also advised against youngsters consuming PRIME drinks - a brand helped to found by YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who is well known among teenagers and young adults - despite the item names stating that the snacks are not intended for children under 18.
According to the American Foundation of Pediatrics, there is no known safe consumption of caffeine for children, and those under 12 should avoid caffeine.
This affiliation further suggests that children and teens avoid any caffeinated beverages, and that young people between the ages of 12 and 18 consume something like 100 mg of caffeine each day.
Dr. Mallika Marshall told CBS News Boston that children are particularly prone to caffeine's well-being effects, which include difficulty resting, upset stomach, dryness, restlessness, anxiety, palpitations and increased circulatory strain. This is especially dangerous for young people who have undiagnosed or untreated heart problems.
The FDA reports that solid people over the age of 18,400 regularly drink up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day — about four or five cups of espresso — without lasting destructive or unpleasant side effects.
"Despite the fact that there is a wide range in how sensitive individuals are to the effects of caffeine and how quickly they process (separate) it," the organization notes.
According to the FDA, excessive caffeine use can cause restlessness, apprehension, nervousness, increased heart rate, upset stomach, nausea, brain pain, and a sense of trouble.
Caffeine's harmfulness can appear in larger portions, around 1,200 milligrams, according to Dr. Randy Peters of the Allegheny Wellbeing Organization, who recently spoke to CBS news Pittsburgh.
"We're currently discussing heart palpitations, tremors, weakness, maybe anxiety attacks, by the way, not nervousness," Peters warned.
How much caffeine is in a Panera soda pop?
Panera Bread's Charged Tastes drinks come in a variety of flavors, including Strawberry Mint Lemonade, Mango Yuzu Citrus Lemonade, and Blood Orange Charged Sprinkles, all of which are high in caffeine.
According to the organization's claims and website, an enormous 30-ounce serving of Yuzu Citrus Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams of caffeine and 124 grams of sugar. According to another Panera website, the indistinguishable item and size contains 235 milligrams of caffeine and 74 grams of sugar. According to Panera, the expanded caffeine and sugar values include a similar item without ice.
Caffeine levels for a regular 20-ounce serving range from 157 to 260 milligrams on Panera's website.
In correlation, some espresso has around 100 milligrams of caffeine. "That's an 8-ounce cup of espresso, not a grande with three shots of coffee," Peters said. A 16-ounce can of Beast Caffeinated contains 160 milligrams of caffeine, although an 8.4-ounce glass of Red Bull contains 80 milligrams.
"Polish a little restraint," he says, forgoing the drink selection on Panera's website. "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, CAFFEINE SENSITIVE, PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN."
