all right today we’re going to talk about the  number one addictive drug in the world now this  

drug is something that even i am addicted to  and no it’s not heroin or cocaine or tobacco  

or alcohol it’s caffeine now as you know caffeine  is not just in coffee it’s in tea cola it’s even  

in chocolate it’s in sports drinks but of course  caffeine is more of a socially acceptable drug  

simply because it doesn’t have a  tremendous amount of side effects  

in small amounts but if you have too  much of it it can affect your heart  

causing heart palpitations it can increase the  blood pressure it can cause insomnia because  

one cup of coffee or one caffeinated beverage  can stay in your body for eight hours so if  

you’re doing this through the day and you  have this caffeine in your bloodstream  

because your liver doesn’t have a chance to break  it down you’re not gonna have a good night’s sleep  

that is why i only consume a very small cup it’s  strong but i do one a day it’s probably about a  

four ounce cup it’s really small personally if  i do more than that i won’t be able to sleep you  

have to realize that anytime you drink coffee or  caffeinated beverages it depletes vitamin b1 and  

then you’re going to get that jittery feeling and  if you do get the jitters take some nutritional  

yeast filled with good b vitamins and you’ll see  that we’ll just go right away also caffeinated  

beverages will deplete your calcium reserves and  also caffeine can actually increase your anxiety  

even make you depressed because over time when  you drink it you become more dependent on it and  

the effect that it creates becomes less and less  to the point where you need a little bit more and  

more and more personally i can just stay with  one cup and i’m good with that and personally  

if i didn’t have symptoms if i drink too much i  probably would keep drinking just because i like  

the taste but of course in college i abused coffee  i used to drink two pots of cuban coffee every  

day not cups pots and this is why i only drink  one per day now what’s interesting is that 87  

of the adult population in the u.s drinks  caffeinated beverages giving them an average  

of 164 milligrams of caffeine every single day now  there’s some interesting effects that caffeine has  

on your brain it increases alertness increases  the sense of well-being if you don’t do too much  

it makes you more awake and it even makes you  more social i mean there’s actually even shops or  

stores that just sell coffee and they have tables  or you can sit around and socialize but here’s how  

it works there’s a chemical compound in your body  called adenosine an adenosine is a chemical that  

makes you sleepy or extremely relaxed and caffeine  blocks adenosine so basically it blocks the brake  

pads of your brain or your central nervous system  so basically it gets rid of that sleepiness  

or drowsiness or sluggishness it kind of wakes you  up it doesn’t give you any fuel it just gets rid  

of the inhibitory function of the central nervous  system but here’s the really important part about  

drinking coffee that goes beyond just drinking  too much i highly recommend you only drink  

organic coffee why because coffee beans are one  of the most chemically treated plants that exist  

i’m talking about spraying them with pesticides  insecticides herbicides fungicides and  

unfortunately coffee has grown in certain parts of  the world that’s not always regulated so sometimes  

you don’t know what you’re getting but check this  out 97 of all the coffee sold on planet earth is  

conventional it’s not organic only three percent  of the coffee is organic so given the massive  

amount of population that drinks coffee and other  caffeinated beverages and the great majority  

is conventional it’s a lot of people being exposed  to pesticides insecticides herbicides fungicides  

those chemicals mimic estrogen in your  body those chemicals mess with your  

endocrine system they’re called endocrine  disruptors just another reason to include  

cruciferous vegetables in your diet on a regular  basis why because they can help you clear out  

the endocrine disruptors but the most important  thing you should do is just drink organic coffee
