The Truth About Caffeine
by Marina Kushner

$14.95 - Softcover - 186 pages

This authoritative book is a must-read for anyone who consumes caffeine. The book explores caffeine's darker side that scientists know but that the caffeine industry has tried to suppress. Caffeine is an addictive drug, does not offer any nutritional value, and has not been proven safe. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory studies link caffeine to heart disease, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, hypoglycemia, and central nervous system disorders.

"Caffeine is the most widely used and abused legal drug in existence, with more than sixty-eight million Americans drinking three or more cups of coffee a day and twenty-one million drinking six or more cups a day. Kushner clearly and directly outlines the myriad of risks associated with the over-consumption of coffee, including potential problems with the liver, heart, and pancreas. I† gives readers a great deal to think about as they consider their own use (and possible over-use) of coffee and other caffeinated beverages, and what effect those products have on their health and the health of their loved ones."

If this book doesn't convince you to better your life by just saying no to a "cup o' joe" I don't know what will. It's a Must Read!"

"Awareness of the risk for caffeine usage is lacking, even while, in one form or another, it is being overly consumed by both children and adults. Marina Kushner has created an important book for the public that is both well researched and documented, and addresses multiple issues of concern to the consumer."
