      Wow, well, I really drink too much coffee and I know that if you have too much the caffeine makes your heart beat faster and flutter a little. I guess that must be quite dangerous if you drink too much or you have weak heart.

      Like all substances we ingest (even water) too much can cause an imbalance in our metabolism and can make us really ill or even be fatal.

      I’m sure somewhere on the internet there research that has looked in to the lethal dose of caffeine but that’s probably not nice research to do and probably involves killing animals.
