The Addictive Truth About Caffeine

Been watching since the beginning ish. Could you a video on 3 to 5months of qutinf coffee

I LOVE coffee!!! Drinking it during a stressful event calms me down ... drinking it at night helps me go to sleep. Could you please address why some of us don't react to caffeine as described in your video? Thx.

It's been 11 years yooooo

I quit for 40 days and then I started again

Stop selling it to under 30 year olds

I ❤ my coke and besides all the bad reputation I'll drink it until I kick the bucket 😂😂😂

Okay, but if caffeine works by making us think we aren't sleepy, why is it so common for individuals with undiagnosed ADHD to treat themselves with 4+ cups a day? I know stimulants treat ADHD, and caffeine is a 'weak' stimulant, but chemically, what is going on and why does it help?

it is a minor drug but still a drug

The addictive aspect is very strangely defined. Ive been addicted to drugs, and caffeine. Now, it doesn't have as much negative effects as hard drugs, but it's definitely noticeable. I'd say it's addicitive, just not as.

Yerba mate and guarana are not from south africa, but from south America.

day 25 of caffeine free and never go back , stay away from caffeine guys

Yerba mate south african plant? LOL. These anglos have no idea.

Watching this in 2022, and 10 years later I can definitely say that I pay significantly less money for coffee than I do for gas

You can overdose on caffiene

Thanks. Now I know more about caffeine. And because I know more about caffeine I can enjoy caffeine more responsibly.

I personally think coffee and black tea has health benefits even if drank everyday. The problem is most people drink way too much of it. A cup of coffee at a coffee shop is loaded with caffeine. Try to keep it under 100mg per day (without the sugar) and you would probably see the benefits without side effects.

Personally, "I take my coffee black, like my soul" -DA 😈🖤☕️😂

Well the caffeine in cofee is way too much for me. I like to get my caffeine together with l-theanine (green, black, white, matcha teas pretty much) so i won't break the fabric of space-time with my overthinking.

Thanks.
I just realized that I'm addicted, so to wrap my head around this 😡 I wanted some science on it.

I heard that when coffee became popular it took quite some time to get legality in Europe. And before it did, underground coffee shops became a den of revolutionary talks. Where law breaking mindsets came together and discussed what they had learned in collage or universum (my memory of details seem to fail me).
We might not have had the same world order if not for the illegalizaiton of our bitter liquid partner in crime.

Caffiene and arobic exercise can be very dangerious ! 💀

Meanwhile me after 100mg of caffeine: I gotta go to sleep!

Hank gets energy the old fashioned way, lines of adderall

I drink two cups of coffee I brew every morning but I think it doesn’t really wake me up much, it just sends me to the restroom basically.

Caffeine is a guaranteed migraine trigger for me. (and many other people.) I love Dr Pepper, but it doesn't love me back. I worked graveyards for years with Zero caffeine. (REAL graveyards too... either 7pm-5am or 10pm-8am. None of the namby-pamby "off at 1 or 2am is graveyards" crap) I understand why you can get a headache from withdrawal, but why is such a common migraine trigger? I've been told that's why Excedrine Migraine has caffeine. It counteracts the caffeine withdrawal headaches many people get.

Is there a SciShow for why caffeine can have the opposite effect in people with ADHD?

It might take 6-7 grams of caffeine to kill you, but you can have detrimental effects at a much lower dose than that. I had about 900 mg in a 2 hour span once and my heart rate went up to about 135 bpm and I felt pretty nauseous for about an hour, and it was 3 more hours before my heart rate dropped below 100. Granted, I don't really drink caffeine almost at all, so maybe I just don't have enough of a tolerance, but still, less than a gram made me feel pretty sick. So I haven't touched an energy drink since then.

Okay but why no pepsi? you dont like pepsi?

A bang energy drink has 300 MG. 3 a day baby

Ok, I had the dry heaves plus headache plus couldn't focus, felt like raging, then crying, for more than a week. Controlling for other factors , this was caffeine withdrawal. I only drank one cup of black coffee in the morning. It took 2 days for the worst of the withdrawal to kick in.

Be careful what you say now about my friend.

WAIT WHAT? pls fact check Yerba Mate being from South Africa. I'm Argentinian and I'm 99% sure that plant is originary to South America, our aborigins used to consume it and now it's a regional infusion by tradition.

i almost tried the caffeinated energy drinks (rockstar, monster. red bull) in my early teens/almost in teens (preteen) that they would have in vending machines or stores they would either smell too sweet or too strong. which is why i barely tried it and went with other i guess energy but drinks like Gatorade , some other soda drinks i tried that are caffeinated or starbucks/ coffee . - comment from Reddit

Im coming up on 3 years fully caffeine free, including chocolate. Though I had a scare the other day getting dosed with theobromine from a store bought juice. It felt a lot like caffeine. I was hyperfocused, felt really really good, but I went to sleep just fine and researched the berry in question so I thought I was okay, and maybe I just found gold. But the irritability crash the next morning and the low mood the remainder of the day told me otherwise. No on theobromine as well. I used to say a caffeine high comes with a caffeine low. I avoid any thing with that same pattern. Caffeine is an excitotoxin used as a pesticide by the plant, to explode the nervous system of bugs. We're just bigger bugs. The fruit around cacao contains concentrated amounts of theobromine, in addition to the stimulant effects, theobromine also exacerbates pain. So anyone dealing with chronic paid maybe should not consume it. Also scientist like you need to understand there are scientists like Dr. Mengele, and everything in between. Given your lack of caffeine, and your undershirt, I think we have something in common. And in his last conference address Pres Nelson said not to get all your info from social, and other medias. Please stop using the term "scientists" as this pass to accept everything. There is so much money in caffeine, of course they're gonna tell you it's fine. Post acute withdrawal lasts a year for most. A huge hurdle at 3 months, another around 5, then a significant one around 8/9 months. Post acute withdrawals are real. I don't subscribe to this channel anymore due to the lack of discernment and mainstream whitewashing painting all science and scientists as godlike miracle facts. It's lukewarm. You avoid caffeine for a reason. Be willing to say so.

I love yerba mate and guaraná. When went to Argentina and tried mate I was in love, and then came Brazil omg guaraná won my heart; that flavor its like I touch the heavens, I remember being afraid bc it has 2x the caffeine as coffee beans yet coffee makes you more jittery IDK why but point is both drinks are great.

So youd rather drink acid we use to melt car paint with sugar which is addictive as cocaine rather than a legal drug of bitter beans that we put more ingredients to make it bearable to drink and accept the "acquired" taste?

Caffeine is a hell of a drug. Also, y u advertise cok? Bad Hank. Unlike.

I need coffee ☕☕☕

Coffee, coffee, coffee , coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee👁👁👁👁👁

People who know me know not to even try to talk to me first thing in the morning until I’ve had my coffee! Also, why are 9 year old SciShow videos being recommended to me all of a sudden?!

Then what about those who can sleep after a mug of coffee? Then there are those who experience almost no effect at all.
The benefits noticed so far is it reduces the headache and lifts a depressive mood. On the hand, it tends to increase the tendency to get anxious easily when agitated.

Anxiety
Not a problem for me as I've learnt to cope with it and use it to my good

I am specifically interested in the caffeine in iced black tea. I've been told that its different from and not as bad as other forms of caffeine, and I noticed that you didn't mention tea leaves as a source of caffeine.

If anyone doubts this guy's intelligence, notice there is no Pepsi on the table; genius.
