The small amount of caffeine present in chocolate occurs naturally in the cocoa bean, unlike the caffeine in soft drinks which is added during the manufacturing process. The amounts of caffeine in specific HERSHEY'S chocolate products are listed on the Chocolate Products Caffeine page.

Each cup of chocolate milk has about 2 to 7 mg of caffeine, the same amount that's found in one cup of decaffeinated coffee. This tiny amount of caffeine in chocolate milk is too small to affect most children. Colas, on the other hand, may contain up to 10 times more caffeine than chocolate milk.

Caffeine consumption can cause calcium to be excreted in your urine, but the amount of caffeine in Adora Calcium is very tiny. Each .25 ounce (7 gram) Adora disk contains about 1/5 the caffeine of a single cup of decaf coffee, thus has negligible effect.

So, what does this all mean? What can you do to prevent caffeine from being a problem? As stated before, most experts tend to agree that less than about 300 mgs of caffeine per day should not be hazardous, for MOST people. But, YOU must decide what is good for YOU. There are ways to control your caffeine intake. First though, you need to know how much you are using. Do this by making a table similar to Table 1 for a typical day.

The amount of caffeine (a naturally occurring substance and chemical in many foods) found in a chocolate bar is minimal compared to a cup (6-oz) of regular brewed coffee. Actually the amounts found in a chocolate bar can be closer to a cup of decaffeinated coffee. For example, a 1.55-oz NESTL?? CRUNCH? bar has less than 12 mg. of caffeine, whereas a 6-oz cup of brewed coffee has between 65 and 150 mg. of caffeine.

The caffeine content in our Espresso Dark Chocolate Bar 1.2 oz is 23.95 milligrams/bar and 71 milligrams/bar for our 2.8oz Espresso Chocolate bar.

The 2.8 oz Sweet Dark Chocolate Bars contain around 34 milligrams of caffeine per bar while the 1.2 oz Sweet Dark Chocolate Bars contain around 15 milligrams per bar.

Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, between 0.3% (milk chocolate) and 0.7% (bittersweet), mainly in the form of caffein. Caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline (in tea) are chemical compounds with closely related structures and similar pharmacological properties. They are all members of the class of compounds known as methylxanthines. They occur in many common food plants, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, mate (a South American drink), and cola.

Caffeine is another drug. It can counteract your medication, and make you feel agitated. There are a lot of alternatives as well as decaffeinated drinks on the market. Again you should check with your

The only product containing caffeine is GET-GO-N PLUS. It contains 80 milligrams of caffeine, which is less than an 8 oz. cup of coffee and less than 1/3 of the amount found in many espresso drinks. The caffeine is included in the energy drink to facilitate the utilization of the components that help you to maintain energy throughout the day. The caffeine is essentially used up in this process and you should not have a drop in energy as you would with most caffeinated beverages.

The caffeine content in tea averages about 1/3 the amount found in equal liquid quantities of coffee, about 28-44 mg of caffeine per cup. It is only a myth that green and white teas have less caffeine. The leaves contain the same amount of caffeine but you tend to brew green teas for a shorter period of time and this will lessen the amount of caffeine that ends up in the brew.

Milk chocolate is definitely out. Dairy-free (dark) chocolate is best avoided due to the high saturated fat and sugar content. However, since cocoa beans are NOT a legume, some members treat themselves to a nibble of dark chocolate (Green & Black's organic Maya Gold for one) in moderation! Use your discretion, and check labels carefully. Top
