To Bean Or Not To Bean: Is Coffee Helping Or Harming You?

Season 7 Episode 13 | 8m 56s

Everyday the entire world is constantly consuming the same drug! That’s right – caffeine!

Do you need a caffeinated drink like coffee to start your day or meet a big deadline? You're not alone. About 90% of human beings worldwide consume some form of caffeine. Medically, caffeine isn't considered addictive. But it can feel that way, since caffeine blocks the neurochemicals that make us feel sleepy. And too much caffeine can cause jitteriness and even anxiety attacks.
