The good microbes, such as Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, feast on chocolate , stated Maria Moore, an undergraduate student and one of the study's researchers, at the meeting. When you eat dark chocolate, they grow and ferment it, producing compounds that are anti-inflammatory..
Toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, are much higher than typical doses of under 500 milligrams per day. A cup of coffee contains 80â175 mg of caffeine, depending on what bean (seed) is used and how it is prepared (e.g. drip, percolation, or espresso). Thus it requires roughly 50â100 ordinary cups of coffee to reach a lethal dose.
A cup of instant coffee contains about 40 - 120 mg caffeine. A cup is usually understood to contain 150 ml (5 oz in the United States), but the range of measurements is so wide that, for most individuals, it is inaccurate to use these figures as a basis for calculating the exact amount of caffeine consumed in a day.
