Best Answer

Caffeine belongs to a class of organic compounds called alkaloids (as does nicotine). Caffeine is a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system. It is usually present in coffee in the amount of 100-150 mg per cup (of course in decaf, there is virtually none!). Like many alkaloids, caffeine acts as a poison in large quantities. The lethal dose of caffeine for adults is estimated at about 10 g, so unless you drink about 70-100 cups of coffee a day, you should be safe!
