Taiwan puts warning labels on coffee

coffee to goThe news isn't that the Taiwanese government just realized that excessive caffeine can cause symptoms such as upset stomach, dizziness, anxiety, bad moods and trouble at work after a month-long study. Don't people know this already?!?!

The news is that coffee shops in Taiwan have added caffeine-content advisories to their menus with that warning from health officials. It's a color coded system: coffee drinks with more than 200 mg of caffeine get a red mark, caffeine levels of 100-200 mg get yellow, and drinks with less than 100 mg get green.
