Excessive caffeine intake can lead to side effects like jitters, insomnia, and increased heart rate. The FDA monitors food safety but does not set specific intake limits for naturally occurring compounds like caffeine in coffee. Regulatory bodies like EFSA and JECFA have evaluated caffeine and found it safe at moderate levels.
