Caffeine - A vitamin-like nutrient, or adaptogen -Nishan Pantha

Notes

#coffee provides very significant quantities of [[Magnesium]], as well as other nutrients including [[Vitamin B1]]
[[Nutrition]] science is neglected more
treat non-[[Systems Thinking]] with caution
the line between nutrients and biological modifiers often depends on the situation
[[Vitamin A]], [[Vitamin D]] have [[Hormone]]-like properties
poisons can stimulate [[Hormesis]]
- food restriction can extend [[Longevity]]
If [[Nutrients]], used in isolation, used as [[Drugs]]
- for a specific purpose for organism
- normally not eaten as a component of ordinary food
- [[Non-Essential Nutrients]]
Bad reputation of [[Coffee]]
- because of high doses in short period of time
- [[Palpitation]]
~~Coffee causes Fibrocystic~~ [[Breast]] ~~disease~~
- [[Caffeine]] now used with some of the standard [[Cancer]] treatment
[[Caffeine]] can increase [[Progesterone]]

Can an exogenous molecule that was so adaptive be missed this bad and now consuming it will just fill that gap we had for millions of years?
- from [[Human]] [[Evolution]] history, [[Calories]] were scarce
  - Caffeine increases [[Metabolism]]
    - kind of bummer for our [[Hunter-Gatherer]] ancestors
in overdose, everything is a [[Poison]]
- [[Example]]
  - if you drink it quickly enough - for example eight litres over three hours was enough to kill someone.
[[Nicotine]] without smoke is still harmful
- hardening of [[Artery]]
  - [[Heart Attack]]
only you can detect good health by paying attention and making decisions in real time, and that the optimal combo will always be in flux

This is a bit obscured read (more like a self-research from the Author with “pretty” Chemical jargon. Personally, I loved a thing or two here.
It’s interesting to find the history of nutrients in the essay. However, as always, the positive and negative effects of Caffeine intake are still fuzzy. Personally, I agree to > Bad reputation of #coffee because of severe Palpitation it causes when taken in high doses (this coming from personal experiences past 3-4 years).
In hindsight, it’s how much Tolerant you are for caffeine.
- For me it’s high and sometimes I get too anxious with high doses. Normal doses for me seem to be a high dose for a few people I have interacted with.
- Too much of anything is not that good.
All I can say is, it all depends on situation how you use it. The case with Coffee drinkers having low incidence of #suicide just isn’t digestible, at least for me. Maybe, there’s a serious [[Synchronicity]] in the two.
Anyway, I have a #love and Hate relationship with #caffeine. :)
