UrduThe webinar, “Caffeinated Beverages in the US: Sources, Health Effects, and Consumption Patterns Across Age Groups” will discuss the first major U.S. survey of caffeine intakes in over a decade.
The study was supported by IAFNS Caffeine Committee. The March 4 webinar will take place from 1:00-2:00 pm. ET.

Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed food components and its ability to act as a stimulant is the primary reason for its consumption. The survey found that almost 70 percent of Americans have a caffeinated beverage daily.
Consumed in coffee, tea, soft and energy drinks globally, the level of caffeine exposure is of considerable interest. The predominant source of caffeine is from beverages but caffeine can also be found in cocoa or chocolate-containing foods, dietary or herbal supplements, and medications. Caffeine is naturally occurring in coffee and tea but added to carbonated soft drinks and energy drinks.
This session will provide a comprehensive and current examination of caffeine intake from beverages in a robust sample (over 49,000 participants) of the U.S. population. The session will also discuss major sources of caffeine in the human diet and summarize the research on dietary caffeine and health.

The presentation is based on a recent paper IAFNS supported entitled “An Update on Beverage Consumption Patterns and Caffeine Intakes in a Representative Sample of the US Population,” that appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Food & Chemical Toxicology.
Join us March 4 to learn more about the findings from this major survey, which has not been conducted in the U.S. for over a decade.
