Caffeine addiction by: Lynn Garrison Nutrition Consultant Huron County Health Unit ,From before birth to old age, al- most all of us consume caffeine in some form or other. The unborn baby may absorb -it from the moth- er's bloodstream, the breastfed in- fant from her milk. Children and adults consume it in the form of coffee, tea, cola drinks, chocolate and some medications. Caffeine is readily absorbed from the digestive tract and reaches peak levels in the blood within 15-45 minutes. It is distributed to all body tissues including the fetus in pregnant women, and breast milk in nursing mothers. The immediate effect of caffeine on the body include: * increased alertness * increased urine output * increased physical activity * may cause irregular heart beats, insomnia and disruption of sleep patterns. Although Canadians get most of their caffeine from coffee and tea, it is also found in cola drinks, certain medications such as cold remediis, headache relievers, and cocoa prod- ucts such as chocolate milk, hot cocoa mix, chocolate bars and bak- ing chocolate. Caffeine can be addictive. Physi- cal dependency is usually seen only in heavy coffee drinkers who aver- age 1,000 mg of caffeine a day, but can develop in some adults whose intake is .as low as 350 mg or 3-4 cups of coffee. To test if you are getting more caffeine than you should, remove all sources from the diet for one day. If a throbbing headache occurs one day later and can only be relieved by more caf- feine, then chances are your are suffering from caffeine withdrawal. Children are at particular risk of the effects of caffeine. That is, caf- feine's effect depends on body weight, so a child who drinks a 10 ounce cola could experience the same effect as an adult who drinks four cups of coffee. Children who ingest as much as 300 mg of caf- feine a day - from four or five cola drinks and'a chocolate bars - may show signs of "caffeinism", that is being anxious, edgy and restless. There is no conclusive evidence that moderate amounts of caffeine (about 450 mg per day)4ire harmful to the average healthy adult. This amount pray be found in 4 cups of coffee or strong tea. However, a caffeine intake should be limited in HAYTER'S TURKEYS HAYTER TURKEY FARMS Hwy. 83 just west of Dashwood 237-3561 Winter Hours Fri. 9-6 Sat. 9-5 Featuring: • Breast Roast • Sausage • Filet • Schnitzel • Cutlets •Ground Turkey • Patties • Wings SPECIAL DRUMSTICKS lb. 49' while quantities last also FROZEN TURKEYS available certain segments of the population. Caffeine freely crosses the placenta to the fetus and is absorbed into breast milk, so intake should be eliminated in pregnant and lactating women. Substituting fruit or vege- table juices, milk or water for coffee and tea is much healthier choice.
