BBC News | HEALTH | Caffeine 'reduces productivity'

  „Toilet visits He said: "Our clinical research found that a high caffeine intake (more than 350mg during the working day) acts as a powerful diuretic and causes people to visit the toilet more frequently, which can lead to performance-zapping dehydration. "This, coupled with the powerful stimulating effects of caffeine, increases stress and causes failures in concentration." Sarah Schenker, a dietician for the British Nutrition Foundation, said there was nothing wrong with people drinking three or four cups of coffee a day - provided that they also drank water or other decaffeinated drinks to compensate. She said: "If you only drink caffeinated drinks then you will become mildly dehydrated. It has been shown that just 2% dehydration does affect concentration, and also makes you irritable." The study found 93% of workers surveyed drank at least one caffeinated beverage a day.“
