Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here I go, you know, the morning ritual, polishing off
some coffee. You know, So I think Sunday is National
Coffee Day. I think we learned that yesterday with Food
News and Froggy. Yeah, Sin, Sunday's National Coffee Day. I
just want to caution you don't go overboard with this
caffeine thing. Look, I know we're all different. Some of

(00:25):
us have a different tolerance level for caffeine, and you know,
I don't. The question is how much is too much caffeine?
According to this one cardiologist I was reading about, caffeine
consumption is safe up to a point, especially for people
who don't have a heart condition. And you need to
know if you have a heart condition. But if you
don't and you're like slamming back gallons of java every day, Yeah,

(00:50):
I don't know they're saying. I think the HS American
Heart Association in US Food and Drug Administration, they say
that point is usually around three to four cups of
coffee per day for most people, three to four cups
per day.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
That is a lot, well not for some.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I mean we say that, I mean I usually have
a cup per day, and maybe I'll do an espresso
in the afternoon if I need to like do something
other than that.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's it. Diamond, I don't know how many cups of
coffee she has a day. She is a coffee freakazoid.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, turn around, turn on a little jittery girlfriend over there.
So maybe this explained some of you are erratic behavior,
young lady.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yes, I keep a coffee in my hand, cold, hot, whatever,
it's good.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, so they're also saying, you know, in the factors
that you must look at, including your body makeup, is
also the number of cups you have, how strong each
cup is because you know, different vendors, different places, different
machines will have a different strength of caffeine. Right, So,
I mean there's a lot you can't really judge. There's
no meters to look. It's not like you're gas tank
in your car. Yeah, as such. But other drinks though,

(01:56):
you need to drink like one to If you need
to drink one to three energy, four to five cans
of coke or ten to fifteen cups of green tea,
that's the equivalent of like three to four cups of coffee.
How much coke, four to five cans of coke. But
see they're not in I don't think they're including sugar
in that.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Seven sugars per coke. I don't know. I had an aunt,
God rest her soul.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
She would drink one of those big, like seventeen liter
bottles of coke every single day.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
She balanced it with a carton of cigarettes. So signs
you've had too much caffeine. Maybe you can check these
things off with you. Insomnia, just can't sleep, jitteriness, heart palpitations,
excessive sweating, nausea, and headaches. And I know some people
if they wake up on the weekends and they're not

(02:49):
in routine mode and they don't have their coffee like
they do during the week, they get headaches, they have withdrawal.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
I'm not at that point.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
They say, if you come to a point where you
start having withdrawal symptoms, then maybe it's something to look at.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yes, Danielle.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I had a friend in college who was so addicted
to caffeine and coffee that the doctor made her go
off of it and go through the whole withdrawal process.
And she said it was like torture for her because
she was getting the sweats and the jitters and everything
because she was so addicted to it.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Wow. And look at Nate's dad, for instance, who was
a truck driver. A trucker.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, I know, we have a lot of truckers listening
to us right now, and you do everything you can
to keep your eyes open. So how many cups of
coffee per day with your dad drink?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
His record was thirty eight cups of coffee in one day?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's in part because his day would start at like
two am and he would go until late at night
or whatever. And but a lot of times you would
sit in the dispatch room and there's nothing to do,
so he'd just sit there drinking coffee all day.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
So he kept you. My dad's weird.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
He's like keeps track of everything he eats and drinks,
and he's like, yeah, thirty eight cups one day, and
U yeah, so we'll.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Being on the road and not wanting to stop a lot.
I mean, would he just have a big thermis in
the truck And he would.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Have a thermis, but if you ever looked at the
dash of his truck, there would be empty coffee cups.
Like he would just start stacking the coffee.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
How did he not stop at the bathroom like everything say, geeh,
he did.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well, there you go. So as you get up and
you get rolling.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Look but you know, then then they say, well, you know,
a certain amount of coffee per day is actually good
for a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's good for you. You know.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
They also used to say that about wine. And now
they say just one sip of alcohol is bad for
your entire system. They're saying it's poisoning all of your cells.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is that what they're saying, now, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
What they're saying, though, they're saying.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
The argument is, and it's it's been all over the
news of late that any alcohol at all is bad
for you and it does not make sense to drink
alcohol to be healthier.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Wow, I don't know, uh what up there, Froggy.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Do you remember there used to be these little pills.
There was a little bottle called no Doze? Oh yeah, yeah.
When my dad like to drive at night because there
was no traffic on the road, so he would leave
home at like eleven PM, driving from North Carolina to Florida,
he would take almost a bottle.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Of No Doze.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Oh my god, man, he was down with coffee.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Well, there's an interesting recipe. I wonder why Elie is
not the picture of health.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I mean you might as well, just like it sounds
like itting fetamines. I mean he's going for it seriously.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, a scary dude. Drink coffee. I do.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
I do one cup of day, and I've learned that
you do if you could wean yourself off the cream
and the sugar. Coffee by itself is only five to
black coffee five to fifteen calories.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
And there's not a whole lot else in there except
for caffeine. So I could see the health benefits if
you don't drown it in milk and sugar.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, but we're talking about caffeine specifically. But no, no,
if you add milkin and sugar in there, that's a
whole different ball game.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I need a little jolt in the morning and then
I'm good.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
I just have one cup of day.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, but you know, you go to Italy and you know,
if you're walking on the streets of your town getting
business done, you'll exit off and off to an espresso
bar six seven, eight times a day and slam one back.
You don't even sit down. You just you slam it
at the counter and go. That's just the way of life.
And like I always say, Italians, I know they need
an extra jolt of espresso to have enough energy to

(06:19):
go to sleep. I mean it's insane, but you know what,
they live longer. Over there, they're doing okay, So maybe
we need to maybe we need more espresso in our lives. Well,
my DELONGI loves to spit out espresso. I finally figure
that out. I push this button, espresso comes out. I
never knew. So cool. I know they're keeping me alive.

(06:39):
Line nineteen is Jennifer. Yeah, you know, as I said,
we're all a little different. Our bodies are all different
than other bodies. And so as far as you go, Jennifer,
too much caffeine is very bad for you.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
What happened? Do you tell everyone? Uh?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh, she's flatlining right now, Jennifer?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Is that you sorry? Jennifer?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh my gosh, are you hooked up for Are you
hooked up to the heart monitor?

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (07:08):
I'm being infused by duncantonas.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh yeah, at a girl? So what happened to you? You? You?
We had too much caffeine? And where did you end
up going?

Speaker 7 (07:17):
I ended up in the er twice, two different instances,
because since I'm about thirteen or fourteen, the doctor said,
you should avoid caffeine. You're a woman, it's not good
for you. You can get breasted breast, cistic breath sift
in your breath, right, Oh wow, that yeah. So I
avoided it, and over the course of a few years,

(07:41):
I would get a nice coffee, asked for decafs, hoping
that they did the right thing. And once it was
the fourth of July, I ordered a large iced tea
caf a certain establishment and it was not decaf, and
I drank almost the entire thing before I started feeling
like I was having some sort of cardiac event, and

(08:03):
I didn't realize what was happening. I really thought something
was wrong with me, you know, with my heart. And
I went into the er and they hooked me up
to an IV, asked me all the questions as to
what was happening, how I felt, and they said, you
are you have a sensitivity because you don't have it, it's

(08:23):
affecting you in a very negative way. So your best
bet is to just drink tea or anything that's cassine
free that you can monitor if you order it out.
You should get decaf when you ask for it, but
sometimes people make mistakes. So yeah, you know, and a
lot of people when you were horrible feeling, it's a
horrible I can't imagine.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
So what was it Your your pulse was racing your
did you get a little like cold, sweaty feeling.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
That kind of thing?

Speaker 7 (08:51):
My hands were shaking, I felt like I was going
to jump out of my skin, and my heart was racing.
I really thought my sport was going to come out
of my chest. I've never thought anything like that.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
If you work in the coffee service business, you know
they they mean business. If they asked for DCF, give
them DCF. Someone just sent a text Jennifer saying that
they worked at Starbucks at the mall and if people
were super nasty, they would she would give them DCAF
without telling them because they didn't need any extra jitters
in their day. They were being nasty enough as it was.
So I guess it's okay to pull back like that. Well, Jennifer,

(09:27):
I'm glad you're okay. And Uh, a lot of people
start their day with coffee and maybe they don't know
why they're jitnerating, well, I think we just possibly figured
that out for you.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Have a great day. Thanks for listening to it.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Okay, I love you guys. You're the best.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Have a great love you too. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wow, if you could go to er and I feel
like you're dying, I think maybe too much coffee there
or any coffee is bad.
