We need to ban The FDA.

Ooh. I thought of a better one. The FDA needs to FOAD.

The amount of concentrated caffeine that’s considered safe at a time—200 milligrams—is very, very small.

ONE cup of brewed coffee has 95-165 mg of caffeine. So three cups of coffee have 285 to 495 mg. That sounds like the danger zone.

Note to FDA: We seem to have gotten along pretty well with this stuff. Please go home and take another nap.

Ingesting a large quantity of salt will kill a person. Why isn’t salt banned?

[[at least two deaths in otherwise healthy individuals,” the agency stated. ... Between 10 and 14 grams of caffeine is considered life-threatening]]

Breaking: Feds ban water because several otherwise healthy individuals have died from overdoses of water- too much water is considered life-threatening

Thanks for posting an article that most FReepers won’t read past the headline.

“Highly concentrated and pure caffeine, often sold in bulk packages, have been linked to at least two deaths in otherwise healthy individuals,” the agency stated. .."

"Ladders taller than six feet have been linked to at least fifty deaths in otherwise healthy individuals, the agency said in announcing the ban on "industrial-length" ladders to the general public . . ." /s

In order for our “regulators” in federal agencies to keep their jobs, they must constantly come up with new “regulations” for the citizenry.

I think this is easily in the top three problems facing the nation.

The federal government should NOT be a “make-work project.”

Most of the garbage Big Pharma sells is much more dangerous than caffiene.

have been linked to at least two deaths

Two? We are generalizing from two to the entire population? That sample is approximately 6.140620202640467e-9% of the 325.7 million inhabitants. Seems like a kinda small sample to me.

With a pure powder, it would be easy for some knucklehead to have the equivalent of 50 to 100 cups of coffee in one serving.

[Truthoverpower]

I can’t believe you can buy straight caffeine powder
What a disaster
Imagine if they sold pure nicotine. One drop and any adult is dead
Pure alcohol or close to is extremeky hazardous
There’s a reason why there’s mixed drinks. Coffee. Tea etc

A little bit is going

A lot is NOT better

Sad to see sheeple baaa-ing for government nannying even on FR.

[KosmicKitty]

To deaths and you ban the stuff? Seriously?

Sounds more like a good gene pool cleaning product if you ask me.

Next stop, banning hi-capacity caffeine-feeding devices:

Okay...so they are banning bulk powder or liquid forms of caffeine but tablets/pills (No-Doz) are still good. Basically because some people are idiots. Yep.
