what about energy gels, such as GU, which are popular with runners & cyclists?
please send me a list of all the foods that contain caffeine not including drinks or chocolate thank you
Thank you for this site. Contains detailed information and reasonable steps to protect our health.
I would love a list of all foods that contain caffeine sent to me as well if thats possible.
Hi there, an addition for your list: Bioplus Booster
http://www.adcock.co.za/ConsumerCareProduct.aspx?ProductId=361
An extract from the package insert:
PROPRIETARY NAME BIOPLUS BOOSTER - STRAWBERRY
(and dosage form): Syrup
COMPOSITION:
Each 10 ml sachet contains:
Calcium Gluconate 300 mg
Caffeine Anhydrous 90 mg
Calcium Citrate 60 mg
Riboflavin (Vit. B2) 3,67 mg
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6) 3 mg
Nicotinamide (Vit. B3) 14 mg
Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vit. B1) 5,33 mg
d- Pantothenol 3,66 mg
Cyanocobalamine (Vit. B12) 4 μg
Cliff Energy Cool Mint Chocolate also adds green tea -a reported equivalent of 50mg on their packaging
What about Snickers Charged (limited edition). I just bought 4 at the book store for $0.50 each. It advertises caffeine, taurine and B-vitamins.
Ingredients:
Milk chocolate, Peanuts, Corn Syrup, Sugar, Milkfat, Skim Milk, Vegetable Oil, Chocolate, Taurine, Lactose, Salt, Caffeine, Egg Whites, Vitamins, Vitamin B6, Biotin, Vitamin B-12, Artificial Flavor.
Opps, one quick search shows you got it already… still not in the above chart though…
How much caffeine, if any, would be found in a basic “box” type chocolate cake mix (ie. Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines)? Also, how much , if any, caffeine would you find in an average ready made chocolate icing that goes on top of cakes?
Thanks,
dario
LOL, I just sent the beverages page to my GF via E-mail. She’s been after me because she thinks I drink too much Pepsi (3 cans a day or 114 mg) but yet she drinks coffee in the morning without fail.
I was actually surprised at how little caffeine my Pepsi has in it.
I have the same request.
I would also love a list of all foods that contain caffeine.
good website
EBOOST gives me a great healthy lift of energy with no crash and tons of great vitamins and amino acids, i have tried every product, coffee, energy drink and now even energy candy bars which are quite disgusting and loaded with fat, sugars and artificial flavors…EBOOST is by far the healthiest, best tasting and supreme product i have put in my body…….
Guitarwizard, banning caffeine will accomplish NOTHING but an increase in the prison population. The prisons are overpopulated because the government ships the illegal drugs in and uses their agents to ensnare pot buyers so pot buyers get arrested and thrown in what these days amounts to a concentration camp. People like you make me support the decriminalization of illicit drugs. I’m not calling for blanket legalization. I’m calling for decriminalization. The American judicial system is stupid. Only in a stupid judicial system would a pot smoker get 5 years in a maximum security prison just for smoking pot.
Everybody needs to watch a documentary called “American Drug War: The Last White Hope” by Kevin Booth. It shows how stupud the “drug war” really is. How can Americs expect to win the “war on drugs” when they can’t even win the “war on terror” or the “war on poverty” or the “war on illiteracy”? The U.S. government created the crises so they can have these phony wars which only take away our constitutional freedoms.
I took notes. I want to convince my daughter that this stuff is toxic. At 17 she way overdoes it. In my case, I stopped it cold turkey, and then tested the waters again later. It isn’t worth it. The stuff caffeine triggers, even as small as in chocolate, isn’t worth it. While you’re at it, aspartame is another villian. look up and see if any of their 92 symptoms explain yours. We gave that up next, and feel about 15 years younger between the two.
[...] short. They claim that “3 Penguins are the caffeine equivalent of 1 cola beverage,” yet Energy Fiend again shows us the light and states that each mint only has 7 milligrams of caffeine. If you want [...]

Caffeine isn’t nearly as neurotoxic as glutamate, a flavor enhancer that the FDA allows companies to NOT disclose on their labels. Did you know that there are over 75 ingredients that contain various amounts glutamate such as CITRIC ACID and NATURAL FLAVOR (ever wonder why Pepsi tastes so damn good?). Did you know that the FDA considers glutamate (including MSG, which contains 78% glutamate) as natural and GRAS (Generally regarded as safe). If it’s so safe, then why do companies hide it on the label!?!? Shame on the FDA for allowing companies to cheat! We should all be fed-up and angry at them.

Could you send me a complete listing as well… My daughter (now 2 yrs) needs to stay away from all caffeine related products… do you know how hard a list is to find!!
Thanks.
guitarwizard is probably either a DEA agent or a shill for the DEA/CIA drug-runners.
great list. very detailed, and helped me a lot with my project on caffeine
I know yerba mate has a relative of caffeine, matteine (from what I’ve read on some ingredients) and I’d be interested to know how it compares to other caffeinated drinks. I also didn’t find green tea on your site.
hihi!
i think this list is totally helpful! but it does need more items and a bigger veriaty!
byebye!
Hiya,
Can you add Midol (60 mg/pill) and Excedrin (65 mg/pill) to your list?
Thanks!
hey try this people but a two liter of mountain dew than go to the soft drink mix section at walmart and fing power edge and buy ittake two packets and mix it in the dew i didnt sleep all nite i threw up tooo it wassss great
Caffine started bothering me years ago so I slowed my intake. I still have a weakness for Dr. Pepper. When will Dr. Pepper go caffine-free? I’ve been waiting. Later.



Thank you for the site I just learned at age 28 I have a heart condition that is genetic and the symptoms are aggravated by caffeine and will now have to monitor my intake. THanks
