Caffeine
Yet another metastudy tells us that it hurts to stop taking caffeine. I see the promised inclusion of caffeine-withdrawal in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as part of the coming great assault on our mood-altering drug (and liquid delivery system!) of choice.
further: Here's my idea of where they're headed -- they're going to use the waitresses approach, just like they did for cigarettes in New York State. After all, as the billboards pleaded, don't waitresses deserve a smoke-free work place? Next they'll blame carpal tunnel syndrome on the poor wait staff having to carry TWO carafes around to serve caff and decaf. That'll be our fault, and so we'll have to give up our caffeine. Sound delusional? Would you have believed 10 years ago that smoking would be banned in bars in New York? They're coming for your cup, people! Heed me!
