Veronique Greenwood, the author of Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live On Caffeine, explains 1) what caffeine does in bodies 2) why caffeine can be bad and 3) why do we get energy from caffeine.
"...it processes several enzymes... it breaks down the two carbon and nitrogen rings at the molecule's core." Anytime people drink "caffeine-packed beverages," the process occurs to be present in the human body. The structure of what caffeine does in bodies futher on explains how unefficient caffeine shapes the human body.
"When the molecule, a group of atoms, seeps into the brain and interferes with neurotransmitters, blood pressure rises..." When blood pressure rises, we have a problem; I find this information amazing because caffeine can do all of this single handed. One can see why people stress on the horrors of caffeine.
"...most of the molecules in nature are inaccessible to human digestion." I am sure of how we get the molecules to produce energy for us; the molecules are rare so our bodies try to absorb as much as one can get. Caffeine can help muscles to contract in order to boost the body too.
I used to drink "caffeine-packed beverages." I saw the effects of caffeine and immediately quit drinking the "caffeine-packed beverages." I remember reading an article about the horrors of energy drinks back in elementary school for a health awareness issue we had in the school. Seeing how many people drink soda, coffee, and any other "caffeine-packed beverage," I can probably say about ninety-five percent of people in the world consume caffeine everyday.
Veronique Greenwood does a great job on showing one the effects of caffeine and what caffeine physically does to our bodies.
