Caffeine: Friend or Fiend?
Chances are, many of us consume caffeine on a regular – if not daily – basis. So how does this relate to our health?
Caffeine is easily the most widely consumed stimulant on the planet. Close to 90 percent of all adults consume about 200 mg per day, mostly in the form of coffee (one regular cup of coffee is about 100 mg of caffeine). Anyone who has become reliant on caffeine knows that it enhances alertness, cognition, reaction time, athletic performance, and possibly even lowers the risk of Alzheimers.
