The first few cups don’t make you feel that way, so by the time you realize you may have a problem, you are already addicted and can’t quit. It plays with your thinking process, so you forget how bad in made you feel and reach for it for the euphoric and stimulating effect again.

Coffee is not just made up of caffeine. This is a big mistake if you want to quit drinking coffee. It has 100s of compounds that are not in the black tea. This is why even if you drink black tea instead of coffee people still get headaches as you’re not only “addicted” to caffeine but also other compounds in coffee. And coffee is not a bad thing if you’re not drinking more than a a few cups a day. Coffee has A LOT of antioxidants people don’t know this. Black Tea also does have some antioxidants but it doesn’t contain as much as coffee. Cocoa also has a lot of antioxidants as well as caffeine but again, not the same as drinking coffee. If you want to quit coffee you can gradually reduce drinking coffee. But drinking tea or other drinks is not going to make you feel better as you experience withdrawal as people get dependent on the coffee which is made up of 100s of compounds not in tea or any other drink, and not just caffeine.

I quit caffeine two years ago. I quit coffee first, then tea. The first thing I noticed was how my sleep improved within a few months, followed by an increased level of energy. About five years ago I also quit soft drinks, this also brought many health benefits. I don’t intend to drink coffee again; however, I do have the occasional green tea if I visit a friend or go for a meal (green tea has some caffeine). Mint tea is always an option too. I recently read about caffeine induced anxiety, something I’ve seen manifest in many people. I’m not saying everyone should quit caffeine, though it would be beneficial, I’m saying people should moderate their caffeine intake. One caffeine drink per week or per day is sufficient, anything over one per day could lead to health problems.

Excellent job. I'd love to stop using caffeine but I'd have to stop using caffeine to do it 🤣🤣. But seriously though, thanks for sharing your experience, it actually makes it more appealing to know that you actually noticed the results. At times my caffeine intake has bordered obscene as I work nights and it's been a part of my routine for many years. I'm in my mid fifties now and I'm relatively fit, at my ideal body weight, and I don't indulge in any drugs or alcohol by choice. I know I could give it up, because I quit smoking around 15 years ago and I battled that for several years before I finally quit for good. I never thought I would ever consider giving up caffeine but I have high blood pressure and have noticed that my hands get Shakey when I drink too much. It doesn't make me feel anxious necessarily, but it is embarrassing to see my hands shake and others notice. I have actually gone days before without using caffeine when not at work and honestly other than my hands no longer shaking I can't tell any difference. I guess I have used it so long that it doesn't have much effect on me as a stimulant anyway. It's probably just a bad habit I should drop. Thanks again for your insight, most helpful.

In 2012 I first learned that caffeine can be used to treat pain. I was hospitalized and had to undergo a spinal tap. Following the procedure, I developed a massive headache which came on whenever I sat up in bed or if I tried the stand. Interestingly, there was no pain whenever I was laying down. For over a week they administered almost every narcotic pain meds they could possibly find, but to no avail. Then one day a doctor said to the other doctors on the team, "Did anyone try caffeine?" They got the caffeine and hooked it to the IV, and BAM, within 15 to 20 minutes the headache went away and never bothered me for the remaining 30 days I spent in the hospital.

There is no safe level to eat of sucrose (table sugar) or brown sugar, or honey, or high fructose corn syrup. It's entirely too concentrated amount of fructose that absolutely hammers the liver, since fructose cannot be used like glucose. Table sugar is 50% glucose, 50% fructose. Fructose from fruit you have to chew up with your teeth is perfectly safe, because it takes time to absorb into the liver; so it does it slowly at a safe rate. Honey is just as bad as table sugar. It is about 40% liquid fructose. It's just too much work for your already overworked liver to process. Your liver already performs over 500 crucial tasks, so take it easy on your liver.

Quitting caffeine, was the best decision I have ever made. Prior to quitting, I suffered social anxiety, fatigue, lack of motivation, and so many things. I made the decision to stop, and let me tell you it wasn't as easy as I had read and thought. Yes the headaches vanished in the first 2 weeks, I was still lethargic, depressed, and did not have motivations for anything. After about 3 months or so I started to feel normal again, and at around 6 months I feel like a child again, full of energy, focus, motivation, cheerfulness, its an amazing feeling. I made the conclusion that on the contrary of some research claims that it only take 2 weeks of withdrawals, some take much more time specially me who drank 3 cups of coffee a day. Now years since I stoped I still feel so great, its a bless.

As many others i thought that was the typical caffeine addictive person simptom. Now lots of years later i know the problem it's not the coffee(supposing you drink good 100% arabica coffee). The real problem was the sugar because I always had my coffee with sugar. Now i don't use sugar anymore not even artificial sweeteners, just plain good black coffee and i can to stop drink the coffee any time with zero problems.

I was heavily using caffeine many years ago (as a result of stopping alcohol) and found I had a serious problem with aggression from the stress it caused. So I started taking dl phenylalanine. You don't taper off on coffee when you take it, you substitute the phenylalanine for coffee and you seriously don't want to drink any coffee while you're taking it. It eliminated the withdrawl symtoms and made me feel 100 times better than I did when drinking coffee. Not very long after I stopped taking it because I woke up feeling rested from natural sleep.

I use to be a heavy coffee drinker for about 15 years, but I had to cut way down on coffee. I only drink 1 cup a day now. Because, when I was drinking coffee heavily I ended up being rushed to the hospital different times for severe dehydration where one time I was so bad my hands and feet were numb and each time I could not function, I could not stand, I could not sit, and I was pale white. I looked like I was dying. I had to have fluids put into me through an IV. This video does not talk about this, but I just want to let you know what can happen to you. Coffee dehydrates you very much. so, now I plan out when and where I will have that daily cup of coffee. Sometimes I plan to have that coffee in the morning, or I wait till later in the day and order an blended annihilator coffee at Dutch Brothers.

This was interesting and informative. I have SVT, which is a condition where heart rate increases dramatically, e.g., 150-200bpm, not caused by exercise or exertion. I’ve gone to the ER when my heart rate wouldn’t return to normal and what did they give me? A bolus of adenosine. Actually, two because the first didn’t work. Now I know why they gave me adenosine. I’ve been drinking coffee for more than 65 years so I would say I’m not naïve regarding caffeine. I just recently became aware that black coffee (unsweetened) raises my blood sugar by 25-30 points. Don’t know the reason for that unless it’s because coffee increases adrenaline which increases blood sugar. Anyway I thoroughly enjoy these videos as I always learn something.

The adenosine you received is the med to "restart" your heart if you will. It's in the crash cart for code blues. It pretty much make you flat line, then turning the heart back on much like a computer that's frozen and you need to reboot it. But you brought an interesting point tho. I want to know the difference between the naturally occurring adenosine in the brain vs the medication. If the medication affect the brain the same way as well...probably not tho, considering it has a short half-life? And the brain adenosine doesn't come to the heart right? Otherwise, you'll die. lol Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

@latinagirlcat Years ago, I learned that the Diamond Institute (in Chicago, I believe) had described that migraines have several phases. There is one phase where caffeine is helpful and the later phases where caffeine is not helpful. The phases are determined by knowing that the blood vessels in the brain are dilated (opened up) at one phase and they are constricted at another phase. My doctor figured out that I shouldn't have caffeine. This was before the excedrine product was on the market. However, many years later I found that the excedrin did really help me. BTW--- I was never a coffee drinker at that point so it wasn't a coffee withdrawal effect for me. My migraines were triggered by chemicals that are found in certain foods like cheese, chocolate, nitrates, wine, certain fruits ( look for the tyramine list -- there are many items that trigger migraines.) Chocolate has a related chemical called phenylethylamine.

I've only used caffeine once for a driving emergency the past 3 years. In the past it was the main reason for my persistent cystic acne. Any small amount of caffeine is the difference between attempting to sleep for an hour vs falling asleep within 5-10 mins. Like alcohol, caffeine is unfortunately a socially acceptable drug where most people wouldn't think twice about their dependency. I know my past anxiety came from caffeine preventing good sleep because after quitting, my mood became a lot calmer. I suggest supplementing with vitamin D & fish oil in the morning; zinc and magnesium at night.

Small amounts of caffeine, such as from a can of coca-cola, makes me speed like crazy for at least an hour. The effects begin within a few minutes of drinking a coke. So obviously I'm sensitive to it, so I don't use it much or too often. Strangely, if I drink a coke in the evening, I sleep really well, usually all night without waking up. If I don't use any caffeine at night, I tend to wake up several times at night, feeling anxious with fast heart rate until I calm down. So there must be some study out there explaining how this works. Why would it make me sleep better? Does it stimulate a part of the brain that's not functioning correctly while sleeping, making it work properly? I don't know but it's weird how it does actually work for better sleep.

A very important point that - though it is somewhat obvious - in that context it might have been stressed that coffee is far more complex than caffeine. There are more than 850 substances in coffee about 100 of which are neither researched nor clearly identified yet. Then there are different strains, regions of origin, processing methods, the roast ... and finally the preparation: water temperature, grind size, steeping time, agitation. Being pretty sensible to many substances and foods i want to state that i feel noticeably different after drinking same brewed coffee from different beans. Most important If a coffee tastes bitter and/or is harsh on the stomach chances are temperature and/or steep time was too high. Mostly slow artisanal roasts are much more beneficial. I once had nice tasting wild beans that caused me ocular migraine and also a Yirgacheffe that was highly motivational. Cheers! :)

I never got into caffeine with coffee and even my sweet tea intake is low. I always noticed when I was young, and this gradually became more obvious, that caffeine made kids and adults who drank it super hyper and they acted weirdly more emotional than usual. I'm in my 30s now and I still rarely drink caffeine heavy drinks and I still keep pace with those who would, if they could, pump it into their veins via IV.

I average one cup of coffee per day. I love the taste of coffee and I've loved the taste of it since I was six years old when I drank strong coffee with my grandpa. It just tastes really good to me. The uplift in energy to me wasn't that noticeable. Now if I was trying to go to sleep, the effects would be quite noticeable. I couldn't sleep until the caffeine wore off. Still, I have this passion for a great tasting cup of coffee. The flavor in a good roasted coffee bean is great. Columbian, Brazilian, and any coffee bean that is rich in taste. Mind you, I don't overdo my coffee intake. One or two cups a day is fine to me.

Great video! The one thing I would add is that there is a difference between addiction and dependency. For example, someone who is dependent on caffeine will typically intake the same amount per day while someone addicted will take in more and more over time. Plus, addiction implies that there is a problem that interferes with how well someone functions in their day to day life because of it. The impact on function caffeine has does blur the line between dependency vs addiction but the psychological aspect, especially if someone has an addictive personality, is my main concern regarding these definitions.

How do you think one builds tolerance or becomes dependent unless by literally taking in more and more at a time? The reason he was talking about receptors and tolerance is because your body literally adjusts to caffeine by building more receptors over time requiring more and more caffeine to achieve the same effect hence it fitting your definition of addiction by default of building tolerance over time. It's why many quit or cycle off and on caffeine because their heavy dependence is usually a sign of addiction because they literally cannot function without it since you body builds tolerance to it naturally. Now obviously the addiction isn't as bad or has as many withdrawals as hard drugs but it is there. Same with sugar people are literally eating it to the point they die of obesity and heart disease yet we fail to call it addictive.

@@hectorzero8545couldn’t have said it better, you can’t really have dependence without addiction. Doesn’t really matter what you wanna call it, if you stop, you’ll experience withdrawals.

Life for me was a lot better without caffeine, I can’t wait to get off of it again, but school right now is killer.

The issue with addiction is it relies on the person not being able to function. An alcohol addiction is easy to spot because if you can't show up to work sober than obviously you are an addict. With caffeine even while jittery you can still function.

Great video as usual! What I admire about your presentation approach is after watching this no one who drinks coffee feels attacked by the way that you presented the information nor is it given in such a way that a non-coffee drinker could boast after watching it; It’s scientifically delivered in such a way that the observer/listener can draw their own conclusions. My personal opinion is that I believe that dependency upon caffeine can really be an issue. I’ve been drinking 2 to 3 cups daily for the past six or seven years and I know that I need to eliminate or extremely reduce the intake of caffeine based on how I been feeling about it both physically and emotionally. I am addicted to it in the sense that I have trouble picturing what a day without “needing” it would feel like. That’s a real issue. I also have a theory that it may be causing excessive tension in my muscles, which possibly may be hindering my potential mobility/flexibility (I’m a grappler so every bit counts). I’m currently reducing the amount every day and hope to quit within the next couple of weeks just to break free from the dependency. Thank you again for another amazing video!

I drink around 300mg of caffeine a day to help focus on work, and be less overall "bored" with tedious mundane work routines. My biggest issue with it is that it makes me chatty, though working in customer service, I find the chatty happy attitude helps with customers. With the way it effects me, it also helps to distract me from my chronic pain in an active job, and helps to keep me from feelings of lightheadedness, or potentially blacking out (which I've delt with for roughly ten years). It's an integral part of my daily life. Although admittedly some days I drink a small amount and feel like my heart is going to beat right out of my chest, that's a bummer. I appreciate caffeine for all it does for me.

Been a while since molecular biology but receptors can be renewed by the cell .this is a vague answer but your body will realise, potentially through lack of saturation, that more receptors are being produced than what’s required and that’s a waste of the cells resources so it scales the production of the receptors down through various silencing methods I can’t remember the mechanism of cell receptor being renewed if they haven’t been saturated- so that part might be baloney
