See how official I sound now?

Why don’t you post studies rather than something you might have just ripped out of that book. For all any of us know you’re just nocaf4me posing as a doctor. I don’t need proof that you’re a doctor, just some studies to show all the studies I’ve read are false…

Also, i said caffeine doesn’t cause cancer, not coffee, don’t put words in my mouth, you lost a lot of credibility right there, then nearly all of it when you spat the book out.

Again, Dr. Watson where are the studies that back up your claims and there are many more studies referenced on this site and WebMD other than the Parkinson’s study in support of coffee and caffeine.

As a cardiovascular surgeon in practice for over 35 years I advise all my patients to quit using caffeine altogether. Nick’s information is completely false and misleading.
Caffeine DOES:
-Cause Bone Loss
-have studies strongly suggesting birth defects
-Dehydrate you
-Cause Cardiovascular disease

In addition, coffee contains acrylamide – a known carcinogen.

Many arguments started when a medical study indicated that caffeine can contribute to helping victims of Parkinson’s disease. It seems to me, that caffeine is going to cause harm, no matter how it may help. Beyond a moderate quantity, caffeine siphons off your dopamine neurons, as you will find out in the book, “The Truth About Caffeine”. Caffeine can enslave you to have an ever increasing consumption even though you may now consume it modestly. As with any drug, the body quickly discovers how to render caffeine’s effects void, demanding larger quantities to feel any further stimulation. Though massive intake of caffeine entails damage and can lead to death.

Caffeine is the most popular brain stimulant that helps to release dopamine, which provides motivation, alertness, and emotional highs. Caffeine is a cherished way to energized the brain, not unlike other strong drugs, making a wide and easy path for the dopamine to rush out. Dopamine delivers messages for brain, as a neuro-transmitter, responsible for our reaction time, energy output, alertness, spontaneity, caution, and similar message functions. Furthermore, our addiction to stimulants is controlled by dopamine.

Large quantities of caffeine can quickly expend the levels of dopamine and diminish the production of dopamine creating brain cells. As a result, you feel, fatigued, and exhausted. Yet, more caffeine is consumed returning the rush of energy. The outflow of dopamine neurons keeps going while caught in this cycle.

Dopamine declines with age, however caffeine and other stimulants accelerate the dopamine decline and speed up the process of the brain aging. Parkinson’s disease is defined as a severe lessoning of dopamine neurons. Parkinson’s disease suffers can benefit with dopamine flow stimulated by caffeine. Yet, before the disease’s symptoms are noticeable, 70 to 80 percent of the dopamine neurons are forever lost.

Caffeine leads to the development of other health problems. As caffeine speeds up the production of our tension hormone, our endocrine glands become depleted. Just one cup of a caffeine-containing beverage is enough to trigger the brain (pituitary glands) to send a message to the adrenal glands to release the tension hormones adrenalin and cortisol to the bloodstream.

Whenever you’re in a dangerous situation, your tension hormones are released, sending a blast of warmth throughout your body. In reality, the blast of energy we get from caffeine is directly from a tension hormone. The tension hormones are send out as part of our defense system, activated by caffeine. The defense system, after some time, loses its strength.

Relentless false adrenalin sent by caffeine consumption, wears out the glands until they can not release enough hormones. With greater pressure put on the glands, a caffeine addict is driven to revive his energy rush, and keep increasing his intake, causing the glands to become exhausted. This cycle cannot continue without consequences.

The adrenal gland of heavy caffeine consumers becomes emptied, as the time goes on. Excess production by the tension hormones, become toxic, later changing the blood composition, leading to destructive alterations in the endocrine, immune and nervous systems.

The end result might entail one of all of these items; continuous fatigue, increased blood sugar and insulin levels, weight gain, excessive blood pressure, irritation, tension, depression, sleeping disorder, frequent virus outbreaks, ulcers, thinning of the skin, bone loss, thyroid problems, and other serious signs of health deterioration.

Wouldn’t you know it, the video that I linked to in the comments yesterday has now been removed from youtube!!! If that doesn’t scream guilt I don’t know what does…. If they were truly legitimate, they would have not taken the video down from their website and then also take it down from youtube when they found out we were on to them…..This just proves their guilt wouldn’t you agree? WOW. I really can’t believe government officials would endorse such an organization and anything they would promote….

Someone needs to go on WebMD and read the myths about caffeine. Caffeine DOES NOT:
-cause bone loss
-cause any birth defects
-cause any cancer (shown in over 13 studies)
-dehydrate you (if taken in/with a drink)
-cause any cardiovascular disease

Caffeine has been shown to reduce risks of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, colorectal cancer, and diabetes. It only has a small temporary effect on heart rate and blood pressure, so small only people who already have a high blood pressure should even be worried. I don’t think you need to worry about it causing insomnia unless you drink it within a couple hours of going to bed. You shouldn’t get it from your morning cup, and if you do, your body is sensitive to caffeine.

Yeah, nocaf4me sounds like he has definately stumbled upon the wrong site. He is trying to promote the affore mentioned books aswellO.o atleased its proven now that no caffeine dulls your life enough for someone who hates caffeine to come onto a pro caffeine site and think he is going to start converting ppl here..lol whose braincells are muddled again?

This is disgusting; it’s either a ploy to market that soy stuff, or a straw man they can attack instead of dealing with real problems (you know, like real drugs and alcohol). Or it could be both. If it’s more than just an underhanded marketing technique, I wouldn’t be surprised if some decidedly socially-conservative group was behind it. Yet another case of “real issues are hard to deal with, let’s make one up so we can solve it and look like we’re doing something.” Or maybe it’s a group of bitter Mormons…they figure if they can’t have caffeine, no one can…

Maybe that so mentioned person has ties to the so mentioned organization…seems fishy that they changed the video all the sudden…hmmm. I smell something for sure…

Why is someone who doesn’t like caffeine even visiting a caffeine oriented site to begin with?
Who is it that really needs to get a life; someone that helps run a website that (I think) is helpfully informative, or the person who has nothing better to do that talk trash about said site? Especially a site which should be of no use to them as the information contained therein pretains to something that is allegedly not a part of that person’s lifestyle.

Just sayin’.

Well, they changed the video. It was there when the article was written, obviously they removed it.

In fact here is the video that was on their site Monday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTFpwvu3q3w so I do know what I’m talking about.

Although, we do advertise all of that money goes to keep the site running. Our information is helping people and is referenced.

Gee Ted, there is no 5 minute video, just 2 minutes and I didn’t see any ads you claim. I think you should lay off the energy drinks, its deluding what left of your brain cells. Your facts come from dubious sources at best paid for by the coffee/caffeine industry. Your website is about profits from advertisers, not about helping people. Get a life Ted!

So NoCaf4me, I guess you also bought some Soyfee which was advertised for 2minutes out of the 5 minute video at the end of the video? I guess you would believe anything someone told you even if they had no facts, research to back it up. We have our facts straight and have references to prove it. The world would be a much grumpier place without caffeine and that’s a world I don’t want to live in….

I think National Caffeine Awareness Month rocks! If more people gave it up it would be a happier world. I went to the website and found the video very informative. I bought a copy of the book for my aunt who is trying to quit coffee. Energyfiend get the facts straight. I think your just too cheap to buy the book and too blast a legitimate organization is disgraceful.

Caffeine is a food group, as far as I’m concerned. It’s helped me with pain management, mood improvement, and of course getting work DONE.
It’s like anything, too much could be bad for you. Moderation in all things…

Yes, we stumbled on this in 2008, and declared March to be Worldwide Caffeine Appreciation Month. But c.m., you’ve got the right idea: be aware and celebrate what caffeine is and what it’s meant to your life. Namely, less of that evil stuff we call sleep.

Man and i was doing a paper for college about how caffeine was so shitty

Everyone would have been <<– wow look at her being so intellectual.

This always happens to me.

There are numerous articles here on EnergyFiend that show possible health benefits from caffeine and coffee, and they’re cited. Who’s more credible, really? Maybe I’m just biased though..

I’ve noticed that a lot of sites for caffeine-free products all seem to have articles that make caffeine sound the the worst thing in your body. I found an article on a site for teeccino, an herbal coffee alternative, that says caffeine can dramatically increase blood pressure and chances for heart disease. Another site said it can cause bone loss, some types of cancer, infertility, and death/adversity of fetus. Then on a site called fitwise it says it doesn’t cause ANY of that and that it’s all myths. Now fitwise doesn’t sell any caffeinated products or any other products for that matter, so I find them to be more trustful.

First and foremost: the following is meant in a mostly joking manner, not to be taken seriously by those without a sense of humor.
That’s when you go about handing out caffeinated goods (spiked sweets, energy drinks, etc.) to people in Connecticut. It’s still promoting awareness of caffeine; the positive side, awareness of its awesomeness. You can take the month seriously (in a not too serious way) without taking the company itself seriosuly. So raise your coffee cup/energy drink can/whatever dauntlessly to the awareness of it’s contents. Huzzah.
