Chances are you have some misunderstanding about caffeine. Read on. Here are some of the most mon myths about caffeine and some facts have been gathered to shed light on them. Myth one: Caffeine is addictive Caffeine is a stimulant(起刺激作用的食物 ) to the central nervous system, and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence. But caffeine doesn’t threaten your physical, social, or economic health the way addictive drugs do. If you stop taking caffeine abruptly, you may have symptoms for a day or more, especially when you have been used to consuming two or more cups of coffee a day. However, caffeine does no cause the severity of withdrawal or harmful drugseeking behaviors as drugs or alcohol. For this reason, most experts don’t consider caffeine dependence a serious addiction. Myth two: Caffeine probably causes insomnia(失眠癥 ) Processed mainly through the liver, caffeine has a relatively short halflife. This means you can get rid of half of it within about five to seven hours on average. After eight to ten hours, 75% of the caffeine is gone. For most people, a cup of coffee or two in the morning won’t prevent them from sleeping at night. Consuming caffeine later in the day, however, can interfere with sleep. Your sleep won’t be affected if you don’t consume caffeine at least six hours before going to bed. Myth three: Caffeine harms children As of 2021, children aged 6 to 9 consumed about milligrams of caffeine per day. This is well within the remended limit. However, energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine are being increasingly popular, so this number may go up. Some kids are sensitive to caffeine, developing temporary anxiety or irritability, with a “crash” afterwards. Also, most caffeine that kids drink is in sodas, energy drinks, or sweetened teas, all of which have high sugar content. These empty calories put kids at higher risk for obesity. Even if the caffeine itself isn’t harmful, caffeinated drinks are generally not good for kids. Myth four: Caffeine has no health benefits Caffeine has few proven health benefits. But the list of caffeine’s potential benefits is interesting. Any regular coffee drinkers may tell you that caffeine improves alertness, concentration, energy and clearheadedness. Scientific studies support these subjective finding. One French study even showed a slower decline in cognitive ability among women who consumed caffeine. Other possible benefits include helping certain types of headaches. These research findings are interesting, but still need to be proven. Title About caffeine 76. Facts Caffeine if additive. ?
