Digo loves toxin
Caffeine, as many know it, is a natural nervous system stimulant. It is found in coffees, teas, energy drinks, chocolates, and other foods and drinks. In a moderate daily consumption of around 400 mg, caffeine increases alertness, reaction time, improves energy levels, and burns fat.
However, with any good thing, excess of it can cause negative effects. Recent studies suggest that caffeine, when taken in excess, has shown signs of various human health issues. There were no ranges of caffeine excess, however it assumed that all were above the moderate range of 400 mg of caffeine.
Various health issues that can be caused by too much caffeine include: acute toxicity, cardiovascular disease, poor dietary behavior, bone density and calcium deficiency, developmental and reproductive problems, headaches, spells of terror or panic, feeling trapped or caught, increased sense of worry, and senses of worthlessness.
Should you be worried? Most likely not. One cup of coffee has around 95 mg of caffeine in it, and it would take 4 cups of coffee to reach the average daily consumption, and a little over 6 cups to reach what the FDA considers to be too much caffeine. For energy drinkers, there are 86 mg in a standard monster energy drink can, and 350 mg in a Spike hardcore energy drink can, the current energy drink with the most caffeine.
Additionally, it is very hard for someone to overdose on caffeine by caffeinated beverages. When too much caffeine is ingested at once, the acute caffeine toxicity would cause the body to become nauseous and induce vomiting to get rid of the excess.
How much caffeine does Digo drink daily?
Digo’s coffee pot (not drawn correctly to scale because the artist did not draw it right), holds about 10 cups of coffee. A standard 10 cup coffee pot holds around 56 fl/oz. The coffee pot is filled with espresso, and 64 mg per fl to a 56 fl/oz container means that there is roughly 3,584 mg of caffeine in Digo’s coffee pot, compared to the 10,000 mg of caffeine that is considered to be the lethal dose. Even more concerning is the fact that Digo stated that he “goes by pots instead of cups”, however Digo is not a normal human. His body is able to flush out toxins and get rid of antigens incredibly quickly. This super power ensures that he never gets “truly sick”, and can never be poisoned. Digo would need to consume vast quantities of substances to feel their effect, which is why he drinks that much espresso. He doesn’t recommend anyone else ingesting over 400 mg of caffeine, and neither does the author.
