Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
Rationale: A high intake of caffeine can cause toxic side effects that include vomiting, seizures, tachyarrhythmias, and even death. An estimated 87 of the U.S. population consumes caffeine, with adults and male adolescents the top consumers. The amount of caffeine in coffee and tea is affected by the brand, brewing method, and steeping time. Caffeine increases gastric acid production and lowers the esophageal sphincter pressure which can lead to gastroesophageal reflux and gastritis. The amount of caffeine varies between products and can be determined on the ingredient label.
