According to Health Canada, small amounts of caffeine are not a problem for most people, but consuming too much caffeine can cause insomnia, headaches, irritability, and nervousness. For some people who are sensitive to caffeine, these effects can occur with very little consumption. Potential health effects of excessive caffeine consumption for women who might become pregnant or are pregnant include an increased risk of miscarriage and the risk of low birth weight. It is also believed that children are at a higher risk of side effects from caffeine.
