Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drjennybrockis.com/2014/2/3/could-you-be-addicted-to-caffeine/ Quotes to ponder: \"It seems that caffeine can be good or bad for you depending on how much you consume on a daily basis. As Goldilocks discovered, it’s about not having too much or too little, but just enough.\" \"There are a number of health benefits to the brain that caffeine provides, but like most things, if we overdo it, we can run into trouble.\" \"Certain plants (coffea and citrus) produce nectar that contains just a teensy bit of caffeine, but enough to enhance the honeybee’s memory, making them more effective pollinators of those plants.\" Episode references: Nurses' Health Study: https://nurseshealthstudy.org/ The New England Journal of Medicine – Association of Coffee Drinking with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/…","meta_description":"Get the 200+ Page Optimal Living Daily Workbook (PDF) — Free.
