„The evidence for caffeine withdrawal, tolerance, reinforcement and dependence has been reviewed recently (9, 10). It was concluded that “A withdrawal syndrome to caffeine has been described which does not seem to relate to the quantity of caffeine ingested daily” (9) and that “Withdrawal symptoms, although relatively limited with respect to severity, do occur, and may contribute to maintenance of caffeine consumption” (10). “In humans, tolerance to some subjective effects of caffeine as well as partial tolerance to sleep seems to occur, at least in some individuals” (9). “In humans, the reinforcing stimuli functions of caffeine are limited to low or rather moderate doses that are usually present in a classical serving of coffee or soft drink” (9) and “Caffeine has weak reinforcing properties, but with little or no evidence for upward dose adjustment possible because of the adverse effects of higher doses” (10).“

JAMA -- Abstract: Caffeine dependence syndrome. Evidence from case histories and experimental evaluations, October 5, 1994, Strain et al. 272 (13): 1043 (#)

„Criteria used for making diagnoses (and rates of their prevalence) were as follows: withdrawal (94%), use continued despite knowledge of a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by caffeine use (94%), persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use (81%), and tolerance (75%). Eleven subjects underwent the double-blind caffeine-withdrawal evaluation portion of the study, and nine (82%) of the 11 showed objective evidence of caffeine withdrawal, including eight of 11 with functional impairment. CONCLUSIONS--These results, together with other experimental evidence, suggest that caffeine exhibits the features of a typical psychoactive substance of dependence. It is valuable to recognize caffeine dependence as a clinical syndrome, since some people feel compelled to continue caffeine use despite desires and recommendations to the contrary.“

„For example, in one study caffeine given in the early morning had effects on the subsequent nights sleep (3) whereas in a second study consumption of caffeine at bedtime had no adverse effects on sleep the same night (4). One explanation for these individual differences is that habitual consumers of caffeine are less likely to report sleep disturbances than infrequent consumers of caffeine (5). Another explanation may be that tolerance to the effects of caffeine on sleep develops in habitual consumers (1) and there are no withdrawal effects when caffeine consumption is discontinued (6). Even when caffeine consumption produces sleep disturbances this may not be translated into changes in mood and performance the following day (7).“

„These concentrations are well above those seen in the blood in response to normal intakes of caffeine suggesting that the effects of caffeine are mediated by other mechanisms. It is now generally accepted that physiological concentrations of caffeine (about 100 μM) act by antagonising the effects of adenosine. Caffeine acts at A1 adenosine receptors which are negatively linked to adenyl cyclase and A2a adenosine receptors which are positively linked to adenyl cyclase. Hence, competition between caffeine and adenosine at cell surface A1 and A2a adenosine receptors leading to changes in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP is the likely mechanism underlying the physiological effects of caffeine.“

„The direct solvent process opens the pores of the beans by steaming them and applies the solvent directly to the beans before removing both solvent and caffeine by further steaming. The indirect solvent process first removes virtually everything, including the caffeine, from the beans by soaking them in hot water, then separates the beans and water and strips the caffeine from the flavor-laden water by means of the caffeine-attracting solvent. The solvent-laden caffeine is then skimmed from the surface of the water, and the water, now free of both caffeine and solvent, is reunited with the beans, which soak up the flavor components again. The beans are then dried and sold.“

„Caffeine is addictive, it's true-- research shows that, although humans seem not to develop tolerance to caffeine (ie do not need more and more, over time, to get the same results, unlike, say, heroin) it does appear that caffeine does cause dependence in humans. This means that the body becomes used to receiving a certain amount of caffeine at regular intervals and temporary effects, such as headache or fatigue, will be apparent each time caffeine is not received when the body expects it. These symptoms are, however, short-lived and usually disappear in several days. Slowly tapering off consumption of caffeine will minimise these effects.“

„This may help to explain why women often feel more sensitive to coffee in the latter stages of pregnancy, or why heavy smokers are usually heavy coffee drinkers as well. Some of the effects of caffeine, such as those on the heart and blood vessels, are contradictory and have no net effect - others may only be noticeable when regular consumers suddenly cut out caffeine. The body can become habituated to caffeine so that regular users are less sensitive to the stimulant effects than others. In fact, people tend to regulate their coffee consumption according to their experience - as many cups of coffee in the morning as they find give a pleasant, stimulating effect - perhaps none a few hours before going to bed.“

„There are two phases to this commercially successful process. In the first, start-up phase, green beans are soaked in hot water, which removes both flavor components and caffeine from the beans. This first, start-up batch of beans is then discarded, while the caffeine is stripped from the water by means of activated charcoal filters, leaving the flavor components behind in the water and producing what the Swiss-Water Process people call "flavor-charged water" - water crammed full of the goodies but without the caffeine. This special water becomes the medium for the decaffeination of subsequent batches of green beans.“

At the time, the hypothesis presented was that caffeine was slowing down DNA repair after the damage produced by UV irradiation and, by slowing it down, was allowing the repair to be more precise, avoiding the mutations that lead to cancer. Caffeine has also been found to be an effective antioxidant, scavenging OH radicals, thus producing another mechanism for its anticancer properties.“

Although human beings metabolize caffeine differently from rats (and other researchers had questioned some of the conditions of the experiments), the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a widely publicized warning about the possible ill effects of caffeine on the fetus.“

CO-2 Decaffeination Method for Coffee (#)

„CAFFEINE REMOVAL occurs in an extraction vessel, which may be 70 feet high and 10 feet in diameter, suffused with carbon dioxide at roughly 200 degrees Fahrenheit and 250 atmospheres. Caffeine diffuses into this supercritical carbon dioxide, along with some water. Beans enter at the top of the chamber and move toward the bottom over five hours. To extract the caffeine continuously, the beans lower in the column are exposed to fresher carbon dioxide, which ensures that the caffeine concentration inside beans is always higher than in the surrounding solvent.“
