You might not "harm them" per se...but if you want someone who's jolted and awake all the time who's about to sh_t in his/her pants at any moment, then yeah, I would say that would cause some degree physical "harm"  :)  seriously, though... it depends on the dosages used... since caffeine is known to cause constipation, it might just cancel out the effects of the laxative (this is just in theory, I don't know if it's like this in practice).

One that I heard not too long ago has to do with the caffienne. Apparently, caffienne will actually leach a bit of calcium out of your system, which can contribute to osteoporosis (brittle bones), which in turn makes you more prone to breaking bones and makes it difficult to heal those broken bones. (This is a long term effect, of course.) \n\nLet's see... there's the yellowed teeth... caffienne's diuretic effect...

Maybe, but it's not likely, the amounts of sugar you describe are pretty minimal, especially compared to the amount of caffiene in the coffee you're having it with. Some people are sensitive to sugar, and when they take too much of it they become hyperactive for a while, then irritable and tired, but pretty much the same thing can happen with caffiene too.\nI'd say you have a long way to go from 8 teaspoons of sugar a day before yuo can really say you have a problem with sugar...

there really isnt a side effect of intaking too much vitamin ..your body can only absorb and process so much of it and then you excreet the rest in your urine...so you just waste it...they say the bodies max is 140 milligrams per day

Chocolate contains many, many chemicals and components.  The one that seems to give most people trouble is caffiene.  Do you have this same reaction when you drink soda or coffee?

Caffine is not good for dieters, it promotes fat storage apparently!...;

It completely depends on the dosage and the person. For someone that does not ingest caffeine on a regular basis, it may take minutes to a few hours to have an affect. What are you doing to the caffeine that it makes you high?

Coffee as you know contains caffeine. Depending on the variety used the caffeine content can vary.  This has the ability to stimulate the brain.  However, overdosing on caffeine can have the reverse affect.  Think Incredible Hulk Syndrome.  Further, caffeine and other substances within the coffee can speed up your heart, too fast.\n\nThe real danger comes from consuming, unwittingly, more caffeine from other sources, such Coca Cola chocolate etc.\n\nHowever, moderation is the watch word.\n\nMy favourite stimulant is TEA [Camellia sinensis]. I consume gallons of it everyday. \n\nOf course it does contain equal amounts of caffeine, as coffee.  Tea does have other inherent health properties.

All of those energy drinks have massive amounts of caffine in them. If you drink them regularly, then yes, they are very bad for you because you'll be addicted to caffine. If you just drink it once a week, then there isn't anything wrong with that.

Taking a caffine pill is just as safe as coffee except for one thing... it's really hard to OD on coffee.  Basically, 200 mg is fine, but it's a lot easier to swallow a box of pills than it is to drink a gallon or two of coffee.  As long as you're not taking more than the recommended dose it should be fine.

Congrates on making it five years!! It is common to replace one addiction to another. And yes too much caffiene over time can be bad for you health. Just drink it in moderation, and try to slip in atleast 3 glasses of water in a day so it can go through your system and clean it out. I hope you stay clean for another 30 yrs.!!!!!!

Caffeine increases heartbeat, respiration, basal metabolic rate, gastroenteric reflexes, and the production of stomach acid and urine; and it relaxes smooth muscles, notably the bronchial muscle. All of these changes vary considerably among people and may depend upon the individual's sensitivity to this drug, his/her metabolism, or upon whether the consumer habitually uses or rarely uses caffeine. How long caffeine's effects last is influenced by the person's hormonal status, whether he/she smokes or takes medications, or has a disease that impairs liver functioning.\n\nSubjectively, people report that caffeine gives them a "lift." They feel less drowsy, less fatigued, more capable of rapid and sustained intellectual effort. They also report improved performance of some manual tasks such as driving. However, caffeine may restore only those abilities or feelings the person had before fatigue or boredom set in. Studies have also shown that caffeine decreases reaction time to both visual and auditory stimuli; it does not significantly alter numerical reasoning (arithmetic skills) or short-term memory; and it can diminish performance of manual tasks that involve delicate muscular coordination and accurate timing.\n\nWhen caffeine is taken in high doses it can cause many unwanted side effects.\n\nStudies of the effect of caffeine on sleep have shown that one strong cup of coffee, drunk 30-60 minutes before going to sleep, can cause restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, increased body movements, a tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep.\n\nThe wide variation in caffeine's effects on sleep may be related to whether the person is a habitual, heavy user or a non-user of caffeine. Non-users report greater difficulty with sleep after consuming caffeine. Heavy users may also experience sleep disturbances; however, their increased tolerance to the effects of caffeine affects their perceptions of disturbed sleep. Often they sleep for shorter periods of time, but have grown accustomed to this pattern.\n\nIf you use caffeine and are having trouble sleeping, you may want to try cutting back on your total daily intake or avoid consumption 5-7 hours before you plan on sleeping, to allow time for the caffeine to be metabolized.
