I think it's one of those things similar to wine where there's like a known mechanism by which it's supposed to be harmful but observational studies never really bare out an increased mortality rate. Like 5 minutes of googling kinda supports that. You can observe there's an increase in blood pressure or heart rate after taking caffeine (well actually results seems a bit more mixed but let's grant it) but you can't observe an increase in the hazard rate of people who drink coffee vs. those that don't. Sure you can say there might be some other variable that disposes people to both longevity and coffee and you would observe a different trend if you controlled for it, but I don't think it's obvious what that would be like with wine and you have no real reason to suspect that over the "caffeine doesn't actually increase chances of mortality" hypothesis.
So yeah, at first blush it kinda seems like we can't conclusively say that caffeine is "not good for your heart" in a significant way.

Originally posted by Grimace It's not really leaf, it's the twigs of the plant itself. You can grind them into a powder and use something like cheesecloth to steep into hot water and add lemon for flavor. I usually just break up a handful into very small pieces by hand and add a cup of water, bring to boil, cool for 20 min covered, and add lemon and chug it all at once lol. It's a very bland, weak flavor, but gets the job done.
Look up eBay item number: 123319481340
News story I saw somewhere (maybe youtube) showed that a tea was considered an intoxicant substance and you can't drive on it. I think it might of been this Mormon Tea. I think it comes from Pacific Islands -

There's pretty good evidence that blood pressure is raised for an amount of time while the drug is active, not that raises blood pressure while not taking it. Raised heart rate has mixed results. Meanwhile there is no evidence this has a real impact on anything that matters (like longevity, quality of life) and in fact a negative correlation between caffeine intake and mortality rate.
Caffeine is only mildly addictive with pretty light WD symptoms and has low abuse potential.

2018-09-24 at 5:53 PM UTCI know someone that has a rare sleeping disorder. sometimes he can't sleep for days. sometimes when he needs a boost after not getting much sleep he drinks mountain dew. It seems to help.
I wouldn't know but my guess is it can't be much worse than all that caffeine. -

I guess it floats to the top? not sure why. -

Mountain Due is just 7up with tons of Caffeine put in it. Also it's a Pepsi product and 7up I believe is owned by Coke. I think it taste better than 7up because it has a higher lemon taste to it.
It's basicly Jolt cola but like a 7up.
Whatever happen to Jolt Cola? I never see it anymore -

lol in florida we used to drink the heck out of some jolt sodas.
you were using adderall to help with your energy? It has weird side effects for people without ADHD. not only that they can kick your butt coming down off them.
