Honestly guys, my opinion in this day and age is that pretty much any substance you put into your body (including water and air) can be toxic.
Some are more vital than others. We have a pretty clear need for lots of air, and a fair amount of water.
But it isn't as reasonable to think that our evolution intended or makes accomodations for caffeine intake.
Ingest at your own risk, whatever the dose. My wallet and my brain tell me to just go without it in my life.
- wufufufu 8y agoI agree with "But it isn't as reasonable to think that our evolution intended or makes accomodations for caffeine intake." However, caffeine has been tested over generations and doesn't really have any major consequences as far as I can tell. I do think that a lifestyle where caffeine makes you more effective is probably not optimally healthy, but since when does anyone care about that.
- anoncoward111 8y agoI agree that all health decisions are a trade off between risks and benefits. But, in sufficient dosages, caffeine can cause heart attacks, paranoia, spasms and so on. It is a neurotoxic substance. Of course, you need to massively overdose for these things to happen. Water can be deadly if you overdose it as well. But perhaps we are missing minor damage that's occurring even with proper dosages
