    Surrogates For Thyroid Hormone

    This post is directed at those who have issues with large doses of caffeine. For a long time caffeine caused me to have "jitters", even when taken with enough sugar. Recently I was reading on the design of the RedBull energy drink and how taurine was added to mitigate the caffeine "jitters"...

    Caffeine inhibits the progress of MS

    Niacinamide is another such substance and seems to work synergistically with caffeine. This duo has shown effectiveness in virtually all major "autoimmune" diseases - i.e. MS, lupus, RA, diabetes (Type I), etc. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19879252

    Caffeine May Reduce Gut Serotonin Secretion

    The study is on gut serotonin secretion inhibition by adenosine receptor antagonists, and caffeine is a pretty potent one at that. The study also specifically talks about how that would benefit disease like IBD and Chron's: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22038827 So, Peat may have been on...

    Does Caffeine Affect Accuracy Of Temp/pulse Reading?

    I take my temp and pulse thing on waking. Then again one hour after breakfast. I was just wondering if I've just had a load of coffee with my breakfast, wouldn't that affect my pulse/temp readings and maybe give a false high? So I might be seeing the effects of the stimulation of the caffeine...

    Caffeine Has Same Effects On Metabolism As Dinitrophenol

    Hi all, As you many of you probably know, back in the 1930s there was a very popular drug for weight loss called dinitrophenol. It works by uncoupling mitochondria (just like aspirin does in high doses), which makes them release energy as heat instead of ATP. Due to several high profile fatal...

    Caffeine extends lifespan in animal model by 52%

    Several other drugs achieved similar effects, but caffeine did best in extending both average and maximal lifespan. I have not seen any other naturally found compound come even close to extending life by so much. The human dosage equivalent according to the researchers is 100mg-200mg every 4h...
