Caffeine Buzz 'May Be All In The Mind'

[chainsnuser]

There obviously is not any more money to earn with anti-tobacco-propaganda. The fundings are long allocated and the (correct) assessment that any further anti-tobacco-work can only be more counterproductive bogus-propaganda is already common knowlegde among the scientific community. Scientists who still makes bogus claims e.g. about smokeless tobacco, already know that they're talking nonsense and only do so because there's still some money to get from clueless politicians who normally perpetuate useless expenses till their insanity can no longer be negated.

It's comprehensible that the most forward-looking no-goods among the medical scientists now focus on other "vices". Overeating, coffee, alcohol, ...you name it. It seems that the fundings for "anti-obesity-research" are also already allocated. So, now it's coffee.

Personally, I think that the effects of coffee are with absolute certainty not only in the mind. To say so is nonsense. Half of mankind would not be drinking that bitter beverage, if it were for nothing. But it's clear that not everybody profits from coffee. People are different.

We should be thankful that most western countries are broke, so there's some hope that all the publicly funded medical bogus-propaganda will come to end and we'll not see a real "anti-coffee-movement".

Cheers!

I can get panic attacks from coffee... i still drink it though.

I tried going with out it and spent half my time asleep.

This is not a new study - words to these effect have come out before and i'm sure they'll wheel it out again when there's another quiet news day and/or pages to fill.

For me, caffeine and nicotine are nearly identical drugs -- they don't give me a buzz or lift; all they do is prevent withdrawal symptoms.

This article gave me an idea for a study: give snus users Onico portions in regular cans to see if they report getting a buzz. To be really mean, put nicotine-free snus in Oden's Extreme cans and laugh at all the people who go, "Whoa dude, I'm buzzin' so hard right now."

They probably do more nuanced things to you though.

I find as I progress through my thirties I don't "need" coffee anymore. It is the first thing on my mind when I wake up, granted, and I do drink 8-16oz of it any morning that I can, which is most. But if for some reason I don't have any or can't get any, as the morning progresses I feel just fine. I don't drink coffee after the first cup, I just don't find that I need to. Fatigue comes only with less than 5 hours of sleep. Check back with me after my daughter is born lol. I'll be a coffee fiend again in short order I'm sure.

True, like raising my heart rate and halving my odds of getting Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. Hehe.

You're happy snussing though aren't you?

But Roo isn't it a law or something in Seattle that you have to drink strong nearly burnt coffee with fancy names for the sizes and love it ?

[Roo]

Its required that it's strong, but hell no, I ****ing hate Starbucks and when I order my coffee from the locally owned shops where I work downtown I say 12 or 16oz
