Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 Tea and coffee have no place in Vedic culture! ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- XOOM.com's Science Update for October 11, 1999 --------------------------- ------ http://orders.xoom.com/redirects/afnas0513 ------ A new book on coffee describes America's number one beverage as the foremost delivery system of the most widely taken psychoactive drug on earth - caffeine. The book "Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World, says 90 percent of the U.S. population habitually takes caffeine in some form. The human liver treats caffeine as a poison, attempting to dismantle it. But, at times it proves too great a task, and quite a few whole caffeine molecules eventually make it to the brain. There, they interfere with natural processes that let us rest and put us to sleep. Caffeine also causes the heart to beat more rapidly, constricts some blood vessels and causes some muscles to contract more easily. ------- End of Forwarded Message ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
