Rick,
You’re on the right track.
I have been told that any drink that’s dark-colored has caffiene, and I used to say that was bunk. But not any more!
Caramel coloring is the culprit, and the less-than-adequate labeling restrictions we have today allow the soft drink moguls to get away with this bull.
I for one, also want to know how someone can buy a 2 liter bottle of Big K Diet Black Cherry Soda in Louisville, KY, and not have any added caffiene, then drive 100 miles north, and buy the same bottle of Big K Diet Cherry Cola in Richmond, Indiana, and it DOES have added caffiene???!!!

I am lowering my caffeine uptake.

Lesson learned #1: Switch to mixture of regular coffee and decaf coffee slowly increasing the percentage of decaf coffee.

Lesson learned #2: Switch from regular tea to green tea and then to white tea. )Decaf teas are basically without caffeine.)

Lesson learned #3: Watch out for chocolate intake as this may jump. Some craving for caffeine is expected. When craving caffeine remind yourself that this occurs when caffeine addiction is being lowered and use as positive reinforcement. Make sure that symptoms were never too severe: Headache. Lethargy and depressed mood. Muscle pain and stiffness.

Can I go a day without caffeine? I now take in about 8-50 mg per day with an average about 25 mg. Down from over 500 mg.

[...] that continues to gain strength is Linux. Why? Simply put, because a lot of programmers hyped up on colas and sequestered away in dark corners are working across the planet right now for no pay to do so. [...]

I would like to know how much caffeine is in the sodas labeled “caffeine free”. I know when I drink Caffeine Free Coke at night that it still keeps me awake to some extent versus something like Sprite or 7Up.

Diet Pepsi Max- is 69mg caffeine & 5.75mg/oz. Pepsi One is second with 55mg caffeine & 4.58mg/oz. Regular Pepsi is 38mg caffeine, 3.7mg/oz. Jolt cola which is suppose to be the highest content at 220mg caffeine & 9.36mg/oz.- For sodas that is. Im glad Barq’s Red Creme is 0mgs caffeine. Im on a medication for high Chloresteral which makes me sleepy I need caffeine to keep me from becoming too drowsy at times. I dont want to overdo caffeine. But I wonder what shoud be my limit.
