Caffeine Exposed

We all love that quick pick-me-up in the morning. We also love the pick-me-up in the late morning and again during lunch and again after lunch and especially at around 3:30 when the day begins to drag and again...you get the point. File it away in the "no duh" folder, but an article from CBS News says that caffeine is addicting. It also goes on to say that it messes with our hormone levels leading to such symptoms as excess nervousness, irritability, insomnia, dizziness, extreme fatigue, headaches, heartburn, anxiety, hypertension, palpitations. It's enough, frankly, to make you dizzy. It doesn't stop there either; it also boosts tannic acid messing with your belly. The list of bad things that can happen to you from over caffeinating goes on and on, but I'm too tired to write anymore. Click here if you want more info. I'm going to grab a cappuccino and sweeten it with some Red Bull. Ciao!
