Caffeine is consumed by the gallon in this society of coffee shops on every corner and energy drinks at every convenience store to go with the 60 hour work week. All those cups of java and/or energy drinks could be doing more harm than good . Caffeine does more than give you a little jolt of energy, according to ABC online, caffeine is a strong diuretic. It makes the consumer urinate more because the flow is increased through the kidneys. Caffeine also has an effect on mental abilities. A study done on three groups of people, revealed that the group that was given high doses of caffeine did not perform well on verbal reasoning tasks.
