mg of caffeine. that would have you flyingthe red eye flight for sure. so there you have it. the caffeine in caffeinatedbeverages and the beverage that contains the most caffeine! on the next episode we'll betalking about the good, the bad, and the myths of caffeine. so until then, kris simpson,bodies by design. inspire to aspire.
