Stanford boffins find 'correlation between caffeine consumption and longevity'

It's just under five kilograms of dark chocolate (70-85% cacao), apparently. Or about six tins of Quality Street. :D

What you missed is the time frame. You need to actually eat more than this amount because the human metabolism breaks down the theobromine.

I think the calculations I did was that you needed to eat more than 100Grams of 70% Cacao chocolate/kilo of body weight in under 1 hour for it to be toxic.
