TAIPEI (Reuters) - Coffee shop chains in Taiwan added caffeine-content advisories to their drink menus this week after health authorities warned about having one cup too many.

近日，在健康专家指出浓咖啡含有过量咖啡因的警告后，台湾的咖啡连锁店开始在饮品单上表明每种咖啡的咖啡因含量。

Coffee chains are putting red marks next to coffee drinks with more than 200 mg of caffeine, yellow marks beside caffeine levels of 100-200 mg and green marks next to drinks with less than 100 mg.

咖啡店在含有200毫克以上的咖啡饮品旁用红色标志注明，100至200毫克的用黄色标志注明，而绿色标志则用来标明不足100毫克的咖啡因饮品。

The government found during more than a month of research that excessive caffeine can cause symptoms such as dizziness and upset stomachs, a Department of Health Bureau of Food Sanitation official said.The government also learned that excess caffeine could cause anxiety, bad moods and trouble at work, Taiwan media reported.
