The Caffeine Committee promotes scientific evaluation of health and safety issues related to caffeine consumption and serves as a resource for reliable science on caffeine to support the advancement of public health.

Systematic Review Now Available:

Systematic Review of the Potential Adverse Effects of Caffeine Consumption in Healthy Adults, Pregnant Women, Adolescents, and Children.

Selected as the "Best Paper of the Year” by the editors of Food and Chemical Toxicology.

Why is this research valuable?

The Committee conducted a systematic evidence-based review of the health effects associated with the consumption of caffeine in humans to update the 2003 Nawrot et al. review. Since this time, more than 10,000 papers have been published related to caffeine—approximately 5,000 of such address effects or exposure in humans. It is critical that this new body of literature be evaluated to reflect the current state of the science. The systematic review followed the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Framework, “Finding What Works in Health Care—Standards for Systematic Reviews.” An independent scientific advisory board was formed to undertake this work. The review looked specifically at adverse health outcomes related to caffeine, general toxicity, physiological effects, cardiovascular, bone and calcium, behavior, and reproductive and developmental endpoints and pharmacokinetics. Individual protocols for the review of each of these endpoints has been published on the PROSPERO registration for systematic reviews.  Each protocol can be found by following the link for each of the endpoints:

Key Findings and Implications of a Recent Systematic Review of the Potential Adverse Effects of Caffeine Consumption in Healthy Adults, Pregnant Women, Adolescents, and Children

Nutrients, 2018

This paper is a “plain language summary” of the comprehensive 2017 systematic review on the adverse health outcomes associated with caffeine in healthy adults, pregnant women, adolescents and children. The authors of the systematic review were invited to develop this summary by the co-editors of Nutrients, for inclusion in a special journal issue on caffeine.

			About this session

While the role of systematic reviews becomes more fully appreciated, the quality of systematic reviews is inconsistent. As the field of systematic reviews evolves, there are an increasing number of frameworks and approaches that can be used to conduct such comprehensive research.  When conducting systematic reviews there are questions about how to: develop a protocol and PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) questions, execute a search strategy, manage data, grade the literature, evaluate and manage biases, and ensure transparency of the process. This session will address these components by using a large multi-endpoint systematic review of caffeine which followed the framework of the IOM Report "Finding What Works in Health Care: Standards for Systematic Reviews", as a case study.


There continues to be interest within the scientific community in what is a safe level of caffeine intake and if certain populations should have modified recommendations.  Since the 2003 release of the highly cited and valued review by Nawrot et al., "Effects of caffeine on human health", there have been more than 5,000 articles on the effects of caffeine in humans published, highlighting the need for an update to this body of work.


The Systematic Review of the effects of caffeine on human health took into account the challenges of including nutrition and toxicological evidence. The health endpoints reviewed for caffeine are: acute toxicity, behavior, bone and calcium homeostasis, cardiovascular health, developmental and reproductive toxicity, and pharmacokinetics in three healthy populations.  The session will present the lessons learned and will emphasize the efforts taken to ensure transparency and rigor that allow for the achievement of a high level of scientific quality.  Specific areas of focus will include challenges with identifying and integrating caffeine intakes by level of adversity (e.g., physiological or clinical endpoints), and difficulties in applying standard risk of bias tools across outcomes and endpoints.


Although this session will focus on the Caffeine Systematic Review as a case study, the process, findings, and lessons are relevant to nutrition researchers and professionals who utilize systematic reviews.
