What are the effects of caffeine?!


Question:

What are the effects of caffeine?

Good and bad.
Does it have any lasting effects on the brain?, i read in a book about enhancing memory to stay away from caffeine as the long term effects on the brain are degenerative.
Is this true?

Answers:

side effects from excessive caffeine consumption are diarrhea, copious urination, while some people can even experience facial flushing. It's hard to say how much caffeine is needed to trigger these side effects because everybody's body will react differently.

Occasional drinkers might experience the side effects after one cup whereas usual drinkers might get jumpy when drinking one more than usual.

Caffeine creates a dependency, and its main problem is caffeine withdrawal. This means that if someone who usually drinks between one and three cups of coffee a day suddenly stops drinking it, that person could develop headaches.

Other major drawbacks of quitting the brew are anxiety, light depression and fatigue. Obviously these might seem like very severe side effects but only a minority of coffee drinkers will experience them.
