Personal trainer dies from caffeine overdose after accidentally drinking the equivalent of 200 cups of coffee, reports say

A personal trainer died from an overdose after accidentally ingesting a powder with caffeine levels equivalent to up to 200 cups of coffee, an inquest heard, per reports.

Tom Mansfield, 29, bought a 100g (3.5 oz) bag of caffeine powder from Blackburn Distributions, a British sports supplements company, according to BBC News.

The recommended dose of caffeine powder, which is often used by gymgoers to aid their performance, was between 60 300mg (0.002 and 0.01 oz).

But Mansfield's digital scale had a starting weight of 2g (0.07 oz), and the product did not come with a measuring scoop,...


...the coroner said that had Mansfield been provided with a scoop, he would likely still be alive today. Gittins said he had been "massively reassured" that Blackburn Distributions now provides a scoop with this brand of caffeine powder.

Sound like he's addicted to caffeine no wonder he couldn't stop binging.

This is why I stopped making my own beer....

The fermentation part can be sketchy and if done wrong can turn your whole batch into some instant poison. 

My first time trying with a beer kit, it tasted sour like wine.  To make matter worst, I could of been charged with murder had someone died.  I gave it to my alcoholic uncle to try and he and his buddies took one sip and threw the whole thing away.  Thank goodness for experts for taste testing my first batch. 

I bought cheap beer that was on discount at target.  I had it in the trunk of my car for who knows how long.  Long story short, we went to reno and I found a case of beer at the bottom of my trunk with all of them stuff I had in there.  It must of been expired beer by then but we dranked it all.  Tasted like beer and all but immediately, I thought I was drunk and was so sleepy.  I KO in my room and could of died that night. IT was like you drinking some sleeping pills.  I tried to wake up but I could not.  Never drink expired beer guys.

Agree.

"Math is off"(per the neutral PH members) folks that don't even know what 1+2 equals like hmgROCK should stay away from it because measuring grams and ounces is a couple of steps up from 1+2... ;D
