Caffeine is the biggest scam, eclipsed only by AI. Literally pure downside addiction, yet scientist will be claiming it has health benefits for years like they did with alcohol/marihuana
I stopped caffeine entirely in high school after it caused severe diuretic effects during an exam.
What I noticed is that energy I thought was mostly placebo. Once I stopped expecting it to work, I didn't miss it. The article's point about caffeine not being a substitute for rest resonated. I just learned that lesson earlier than most.
The genetic variation angle is interesting though. I'm curious if people who are naturally caffeine-sensitive just end up not drinking coffee, or if the sensitivity itself is a separate genetic trait.

You're not my supervisor.
