    It is a fear of mine that coffee probably does have some negative effects on humans, maybe in the doses we consume or the way it is produced, that we just…do not know about currently but will one day be looked on by future generations similar to leaded gasoline or asbestos.

      Given the way caffeine has been consumed and studied for so long and all we’ve picked up on is that in people who are sensitive to it who also have underlying heart problems it might exacerbate them in very large doses, and a bunch of correlation to a list of things that are all comorbidities with ADHD, something for which caffeine is usually intuitively self-medicated even in the absence of someone realizing they have it, I feel like we’d have found something if there was anything.
