Episodic exposure to nicotine, caffeine, and amphetamines triggers malfunctions in the fetal brain, specifically affecting the development of the indusium griseum.
Caffeine can promote brown adipose tissue function and improve thermogenesis, helping to burn fat more efficiently.

A new study sheds light on the role dehydration can play in pain perception and cerebral blood flow.

A caffeine jolt may give you a little more energy following a restless night of sleep, but it doesn't necessarily help with boosting cognition.

Researchers report people who drink at least one cup of coffee a day are at a 12% reduced risk of dying from cancer, stroke and heart disease as those who did not partake in a daily cup of Joe. Lower mortality rates were present regardless of whether people drank fully caffeinated coffee or decaf, suggesting the association with longevity is not tied to caffeine.
