Caffeine



For millions of us, the first cup of coffee each morning helps wake us up and stir our brain cells. 
What do the experts say about caffeine?  For healthy people caffeine in moderate amounts should pose no problems.  I recently read an article which concluded that some people are more susceptible to caffeine’s effects and may find that caffeine raises their blood pressure.   People with high, out-of-control blood pressure should talk to their doctor about caffeine.  http://health.yahoo.net/articles/blood-pressure/does-caffeine-raise-blood-pressure   When the experts looked at several studies, they could not conclude that caffeine intake will cause significant problems for most people, even many people with high blood pressure.  See this study at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21880846
