How Caffeine Addiction Changed History (ft. Michael Pollan) | WIRED

this video is flawed, it is ruining your life without you knowing it. coffee is a legal drug. I was on it for 20 years of my life. hard stop will give you headaches and withdraw symptoms just like an illegal drug. i've stopped it by supplementing with tea and having a cup coffee on a week for a few months. now I don't have any coffee or tea. the sleep is AMAZING! dreams are vivid. wake up refreshed and engergy is consistent throughout the day. coffee is great once in a while, not a regular everyday thing. dont let it become an everyday thing.

coffee is a helluva drug

Coffe is a drug

Coffee sachets and coffee ☕ ruined my health, since recently quitting them my health and sleep has greatly improved

I drink coffee all day and have 0 energy. I think I overdid it boys lol.

Michael pollan the goat.

I can’t see the difference between coffee and alcohol, both “functional” drinks make me feel good🤩

And I think this obsessive need for more and production is a big cause of current failure as a species.

90 percent of all BS begins with a statistical errr BS...

Support small coffee for the planet. SF/

The same thing that you could argue against those who demonize alcohol can be made for coffee demonizers: If you can't handle it, it's bad FOR YOU.

Coffee is the forbidden fruit in the bible it's a drug

Caffeine helps with lots of things don't discredit as a bad thing

Coffee is overrated, alcohol is even more overrated.. I’m more of a sprite or ginger ale drinker

I make myself a double shot of espresso every morning to start my day. I truly love it and sleep very well.

i feel way better off caffeine

Green tea has antioxidants!!!! Coffee b.s.

Im heavily Dependent to function, now what???

It made most people jittery, nervous, fatigued, annoyed. Thinking they are productive, while they're actually not.

Och, millions of people have 1-2-3 cups of coffee a day and are perfectly fine and sleep very well (actually I know people who can have a double espresso before bed and sleep like a baby - it's genetic, not everyone is sensitive to caffein).

When I break up coffee, I started dreaming

I like cannabis and black coffee ☕️ ❤❤❤😮

It should be irritating to everyone that medical degreed and psuedo medical people use the term "WE." This is such an inaccurate cop-out for accurately communicating results. To me, the term WE is nearly an insult. You use the term we? I automatically become skeptic of your methods, results and conclusions.

This video is edited in a way that Pollan seems quite positive about coffee, while in longer talks he is much more critical about it.

Maybe stopping drinking alcohol all day made us productive not the fact that we drank caffeine. Sure caffeine stimulates us and may give us more ideas, but once you're dependent on it that magic disappears.

An addiction thats good for you its a miracle drug ?

I'm a bus driver. I've been drinking coffee (only 1 cup a day) for little over a year. I clearly remember the first week or so when I started - my sleep was the first thing effected - I could not get enough. I'd find that through out the day I'd get some weird psycedelic 'dejevu' feelings as if i was micro napping.. I'm at a point where I think I'll quit - I've been getting anxiety and heart papaltations lately and have a feeling this might all be related to the caffeine - the doctor put me on blood pressure meds a few months ago also. It's certainly a 'vice' which I can live without. I'll save my self a few dollars as well as mostly I'm buying coffee during lunch at shopping malls etc.

I haven’t drank a soda in 2 years I feel tired alll the time

"Scream for Caffeine"

It's time to go to the grocery store

I'm out of coffee an I do need more

My shoes under the bed on the floor

With out hesitation I'm out the door

An now with a smile coffee I do pour

I cannot even imagine my life without coffee. I simply would be dead. It has always been my savior.

This video is definitely sponsored by starbucks or smt

Caffeine literally does no good to the body and anybody who's looking to quit this addictive drug, try the book Easyway to quit caffeine by Allen carr

You cant have Swedish fika without coffee

As person who has never used stimulants. It's is like if you need coffee either you like the buzz or are just bad at planning. And need more energy due to not having your life organized

Not just adults, but children too! I drank plenty of caffeine even when I was very little!

It's fortunate that other species don't assess their value based on productivity like humans do.

I like how the quit coffee algo is promoting me this video to see all the fellow caffeine quitters in the comments. Lovely

This kind of stuff I find extremely fascinating

As a person who has struggled with various addictions, including coffee on which im still hooked. I DO think it is a bad thing to be dependent on ANY plant. Even if you do have easy affordable access to and it's not ruining your life.

I don’t drink coffee and I’m good

Does one cup of coffee keep the doctor away? Caffeine = dopamine = addictive
