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.
Instant coffee, also called soluble coffee because it dissolves in water, contains an average of 93 milligrams of caffeine in a prepared 8-ounce serving, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The range of caffeine content in an 8-ounce cup of instant coffee is 27 to 173 milligrams. The same amount of regular brewed coffee contains an average of 133 milligrams of caffeine, with a range of 102 to 200 milligrams. The type of coffee beans and brewing methods affect the caffeine content in coffee.
