Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.
大家好,欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想!
Roughly 60% of Americans drink coffee everyday. I usually only have 2 or 3 cups, but what would happen if you only consumed coffee?
大约60%的美国人每天喝咖啡。我通常只喝2到3杯咖啡,但如果你只喝咖啡会怎么样呢?
How will your body react? Could you overdose on coffee?
你的身体会有什么反应?你会不会咖啡过量?
Well, as with any other wacky hypothetical, we here at Life Noggin wanted to find out. We have our friend Craig AKA Wheezy Waiter to help us!
好吧,就像其他任何古怪的假设一样,我们脑洞大开的生命奇想想要找出答案。我们请到了我们的朋友克雷格,又名Wheezy Waiter来帮我们!
Also please don't try this at home. Thanks. Yeah! We'll be putting my clones through this. Nothing bad is going to happen on the real me...isn't that right Blocko.. Oh. He's already in the next screen.
也请不要在家里尝试这个。谢谢。是啊!我们会用我的克隆体做实验。在真实的我身上不会发生什么坏事……不是吗,布洛克…哦。他已经在下一个屏幕上了。
This is cup #1 of the day and for the sake of this scenario, we're going to consider one cup of coffee as 8oz. Craig won't be consuming anything else.
这是一天中的第一杯,这个场景中,我们设定一杯咖啡是8盎司。克雷格不会再吃其他东西了。
After the first sip, the coffee is quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
喝完第一口咖啡后,咖啡很快就会被胃肠道吸收。
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and as it spreads throughout the body, it boosts production of certain chemicals in the brain, making Craig more alert and energized.
咖啡因是一种中枢神经系统兴奋剂,当它扩散到全身时,它会促进大脑中某些化学物质的产生,使克雷格更加警觉和精力充沛。
If you're one of the unlucky 30% of coffee drinkers who poop more from coffee, you'd probably be needing a break from whatever it is that you're doing.
如果你是不走运的30%之一,喝咖啡会拉肚子,你可能需要休息一下,不管你在做什么。
It's thought that, for these people, coffee prompts increased acidity levels in the stomach, speeding up the digestive process. At this point, I'm feeling super alert and focused.
有人认为,对于这些人来说,咖啡会增加胃部的酸度,加速消化过程。在这一点上,我感到非常警觉和专注。
Work is a breeze, since coffee boosts serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline levels.
工作是件轻而易举的事,因为咖啡能提高血清素、多巴胺和肾上腺素的水平。
But I'm also feeling the negatives: a quickened heart rate, raised blood pressure, increased respiratory rate and eye twitches.
但我也感受到了消极的一面:心跳加快,血压升高,呼吸加快,眼睛抽搐。
My motor learning is diminished, meaning motor skills like typing are more difficult. And my brain is experiencing decreased cerebral blood flow.
我的运动学习能力下降了,这意味着像打字这样的运动技能更难。我的大脑血流量减少。
It's not getting the blood it needs to function at its best. I'm also feeling super anxious and jumpy. So don't sneak up on me!
它并没有得到血液来发挥它的最佳功能。我也感到非常焦虑和不安。所以不要偷偷靠近我!
Let's say Craig has had 8 cups of coffee so far, equal to about 800 milligrams of caffeine.
假设克雷格喝了8杯咖啡,相当于800毫克的咖啡因。
The FDA has noted that up to 400 milligrams is a fine amount of caffeine for the average person, which isn't really that much, especially if your diet only consists of coffee.
美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)指出,对于普通人来说,400毫克的咖啡因比较适宜,但实际上并没有那么多,尤其是如果你的饮食只有咖啡的话。
Craig's excessive caffeine consumption has lead to headaches, nausea, restlessness, and muscle spasms.
克雷格过量摄入咖啡因会导致头痛、恶心、烦躁不安和肌肉痉挛。
Plus, each cup of black coffee has about 5 calories, so he feels like garbage and he's starving. Isn't this fun, Craig!?
另外,一杯黑咖啡大约有5卡路里的热量,所以他感觉很不好,而且他很饿。这不是很有趣吗,克雷格!?
By what would be bedtime, I've drank 15 cups of coffee and will definitely not be sleeping tonight.
我已经喝了15杯咖啡,今晚肯定睡不着。
This is waaay over the recommended daily intake, which leads to the question, could I overdose on coffee? Could i?...Blocko can I do that? Never mind, I'll answer this.
这超过了推荐的每日摄入量,这就引出了一个问题,我可以过量饮用咖啡吗?我能吗?宝高,有可能吗?没关系,我来回答。
Caffeine overdose can induce comas after about 5 grams of consumption, but, one study found that just 1 gram a day significantly increases your risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
咖啡因过量会在摄入约5克后引起昏迷,但一项研究发现,每天摄入1克咖啡因会显著增加心脏骤停的风险。
Less severe effects include fever, trouble breathing, convulsions, and cardiac distress. What about long term effects of coffee?
不太严重的影响包括发烧、呼吸困难、抽搐和心脏不适。咖啡的长期效果如何?
These are often debated but regular consumption has been linked to reduced risks of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, Type II diabetes, and even some cancers.
这些都是经常争论的话题,但经常饮用会降低患阿尔茨海默氏症、帕金森症、II型糖尿病甚至某些癌症的风险。
It's also been found that moderate, daily intake cuts suicide risk by almost 50%! But the long-term effects aren't all great.
研究还发现,适度的每日摄入量可以将自杀风险降低近50%!但长期效果并不都很好。
You could experience cardiac malfunctions, ulcers, hallucinations, infertility, and maybe even diminished function of your prefrontal cortex. No one knows for sure how much coffee is deadly.
你可能会出现心脏功能失常、溃疡、幻觉、不孕,甚至前额皮质功能减退。没有人确切知道有多少咖啡是致命的。
One 30-year study found that drinking more than 28 8oz cups of coffee per week leads to a 50% increased risk of death in young men and about a 200% increase in young women.
一项为期30年的研究发现,每周喝超过28杯8盎司的咖啡,年轻男性的死亡风险会增加50%,年轻女性的死亡风险会增加200%。
So, keep that in mind on your daily trips to your favorite hipster coffee shop that gets your name wrong. Oh come on! It's not Greg! It's never Greg!
所以,在你每天去你最喜欢的时髦咖啡店时,要记住这一点,虽然他们经常把你的名字弄错。哦,行了!不是格雷格!从不是格雷格!
So how much coffee do you drink? Is it a normal amount? Let me know in the comments section below!
那么你喝多少咖啡呢?是正常的量吗?在下面的评论部分告诉我!
