Top 7 Common questions and misconceptions about caffeine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?
Before we start, like, retweet, and bookmark this tweet.
1) Does caffeine dehydrate you at rest or during exercise?
No, Generally, drinking typical amounts of caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea has little to no impact on your body's overall fluid balance.
2) Does caffeine decrease body weight and fat mass?
Minimal effect only. The current body of evidence does not support the use of caffeine as a fat loss aid.
3) Is there a relationship between caffeine and depression?
Moderate caffeine intake can temporarily improve mood and ease some depressive symptoms. People with depression should pay attention to how caffeine affects them and consult a professional for advice.
4) Does caffeine cause heart problems?
There is no evidence that having moderate amount of caffeine is bad for your heart.
5) Does caffeine promote the loss of bone mineral?
In normal amounts (200-300 mg), it doesn’t. There is evidence to suggest that ≤ 4 cups of coffee (≤400 mg of caffeine) is the threshold for concern regarding BMD and/or fracture risk, primarily in females
6) Is caffeine addictive?
No, evidence isn't strong enough to say caffeine is addictive according to how we usually define it.
7) Does waiting 1.5-2.0 hours after waking to consume caffeine help you avoid the afternoon “crash?”
No, Drinking coffee right after waking up doesn't cause that tired feeling in the afternoon.
