They could then come to further conclusions about the classification of caffeine presented

based upon its melting point. This kind of isolation is important for further information can be
determined about the kind of caffeine's effect on the human body.

Like almost anything you can put into your mouth, caffeine can kill you in large enough
quantities, but that quantity is pretty large. The LD50 for caffeine, the mean lethal dose, in
humans is estimated to be in the range of 150 to 200 mg per kilogram of body weight,
around a hundred cups of coffee in a relatively short period. The only practical way to reach
that level is with caffeine pills, like No-Doz—lots of them.

Bottom line: moderate consumption of caffeine at judicious times is not likely to do most
people any harm and may actually do some good.
