I gave up caffeine in October of 2022. I was having chest pains and shortness of breath. Did the caffeine cause that? I have no idea, but my doctor recommended giving it up, and I haven't felt any chest pains since I did.
A second death linked to a caffeinated “Charged Lemonade” drink sold by the cafe-bakery chain Panera Bread has raised questions about the safety of ultra-caffeinated drinks and how much caffeine is too much.
Super-charged caffeine drinks are popular. How much caffeine is too much?
Experts say that the benefits and risks of caffeine can vary widely, depending on a person’s habits, size, overall health and other factors.

Talking about how he and Biden "differ on Issues X/Y/Z" is pointless and a distraction. It's all part of the "normal political horse race" narrative that is blinding people to the danger ahead.
