If you like your coffee (or caffine supplements) you might like to look at a very informative article on Dr Buttar’s Blog, Caffine – Friend or Foe?.  This outlines both the negative and positive effects of caffine, from both an athele’s and an ordinaray person’s perspective.  It quotes research debunking some common myths.

I like Dr Buttar’s Blog as he is an exerienced medically trained professional, who is open to challenging mainstream ideas and applying methods that whilst still having their basis in science, are usually in the reserve of alternative therapies.  A wholesome approach.

I remember hearing years ago on a radio show that as caffine is addictive, it does not actually give us the boost that we associate with having a cup of coffee.  What is does is to relieve the withdrawal symptons from not having had a cup of coffee for while.  The arguement was that it is this relief from the withdrawal symptoms that makes us feel better, rather than the coffee waking us up and stimulating us.

Being on a radio show years ago, I can’t offer any authenticity to this claim.  I include it here simply as a point of discussion or for consideration. 

As the Dr Buttar’s Blog article gives quite the technicalities of the chemical effects of caffine in our bodies, then I suspect that the truth is maybe a bit of both.
