It would likely take anywhere from 50-100 cups of coffee to result in a lethal dose of caffeine

Question

This is a true claim, after researching this article, I found that it quotes Dr Robert Glatter. Dr Glatter has a history of working with drugs, including caffeine, and is a very reliable source. since he is quoted in more than one article and both have the same claim, I find both to be true. This article is about Dr. Galtter's findings and is verified by him.  While caffeine is a harmful drug, it takes a lot to kill you; you would need a lot of coffee or a teaspoon of pure powder caffeine, which is around 28 cups of coffee, instantly.  

Answer 1

The article’s claim asserts the possibility that coffee has the ability to kill you and proceeds to detail the amount of a lethal dose. This article, published by the American newspaper The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, sources an article from USA Today that references Robert Glatter, “an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City”. Glatter is quoted saying, “anywhere from 50-100 cups of coffee to result in a lethal dose of caffeine" (USA Today). In addition to a physician's recommendation, the article also includes information from the FDA that displays the alternative caffeine intake to a lethal dose, “400 milligrams a day”, roughly 2 to 3 cups (FDA.gov). The original claim of  “Here’s how much caffeine it takes to kill you” is true and not misleading since the article provides readers with guidelines for unsafe amounts of caffeine intake.
