Coffee and non-decaffeinated tea have many more times the amount of caffein as
does a can of Jolt. Jolt doesn't cause one to shake unless you are particularly
sensitive to caffein in the first place.

Studies that I have read about say that caffein causes a craving for sugar.
Packaging caffein without sugar would appear to make "diet" sodas into diet
breaking drinks.
