What are some hidden sources of caffeine?

• Coffee ice cream has caffeine—about 30 milligrams in

a half-cup.

• Weight-loss pills have caffeine too. Caffeine doesn’t

actually make you lose weight, but it may make you

less aware of your hunger. Some diet pills contain as

much caffeine as 12 cups of coffee!

• Some over-the-counter painkillers contain caffeine.

• “Energy waters” usually contain caffeine.

• Some breath fresheners contain caffeine.

• Any food that claims to give you energy—from oatmeal

to beef jerky—probably contains caffeine. Check the

label to be safe!
