Building a dependence on caffeine CAN be much worse than drinking sugar. You can develop cardiovascular problems, ED, and insomnia.

Can you post the studies on this?

I'd like to see info on the timing and amount of caffeine intake and confounding factors re caffeine's correlation with these things.

Obviously insomnia can be an issue if you take caffeine late in the day. And I could possibly see some people having reversible ED. And I suppose if you've already developed a heart condition, some people could see some increased risk, but caffeine alone ain't causing heart conditions in 99.9999% of people, I promise you.

n=1: I drink an absurd amount of strong black coffee, cut it off by 2-3 pm and have none of these issues whatsoever. I also don't do other things to put me at risk of energy swings (yes that is in fact mostly the sugar), or the other ailments you cite.

Next episode: nicotine can actually be good for you study (sorry it's from aTm)
