Sugar? Why not caffeine?

I swear that a 4+ week coffee and caffeinated holiday improved emotional regulation and turns down OCD behaviours and anxiety.

Not sure if this is microbiota-related or related to down-regulation of neuroreceptors activated by coffee compounds.

I’ve heard arguments such as “well… caffeine is cleared within hours so a weeks-long effect is placebo”. Say what you want.



Well I don't think they're saying that wouldn't happen with caffeine, just that this is their experience with sugar.
