Wonderful view of Baseball in Boston
Here’s some of what I found interesting reading today:
“Tests on 379 individuals who abstained from caffeine for 16 hours before being given either caffeine or a placebo and then tested for a range of responses showed little variance in levels of alertness.”
Understanding Potassium Channels
“Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have made a significant advance in understanding how potassium channels, which permit the flow of electric currents central to many of the body’s biological processes, control the flow of these currents.”

I read the article about Questioning Coffee Affects. I do not agree that caffeine only brings people back to a normal level of alertness. I believe caffeine affects people differently depending upon their personal tolerance level. For example, once I drank a cup of coffee with 2 shots of espresso. I experienced uncontrollable shaking to say the least; it was way too much caffeine for me. Also, some people are affected by caffeine so much that it interrupts their sleep. Not me; one day I took 2 NoDoz to try to help me stay awake, and I still fell asleep. I was tired, but didn’t want to sleep. The caffeine in NoDoz had no affect on me and sleep.
