As required for my previous English class prior to taking Speech class, I had to complete weekly reaction journals. I read an article based on facts of caffeine. At first I wasn't interested in reading the article because I don't drink caffeine so what do I care? But as I begin to read on, it got more interesting and the facts really did help me with my psychology class.
After reading "A Buzz on Caffeine", I have learned new things that I was totally unaware of. Facts such as caffeine preventing Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes. I learned that 70% of soft drinks have caffeine in them. Then I begin thinking out loud, no wonder soda makes people hyper. Caffeine gives people energy and helps them to stay alert. However, when the caffeine leaves your body, the brain chemicals begin to flow again and as a result, you crash.
I think caffeine may only be useful for those who drink it on a regular basis, because it affects them the most. On the other hand, beginner caffeine users will not feel anything has changed right away. Physical dependence can occur in three days.
