The American Medical Board recently performed a survey about cafine/coffee usage/addiction in modern teenagers. The results were staggering. The average age for young people to start drinking coffee is twelve years old! and most adults are worried about the cafine content in soft drinks, but are more than happy to share a late with thier children. A Starbucks double fappuchino, one of thier most popular and best selling drinks among teens, was taken and analyzed. The coffee product contained cafine equivalent to not one, not two, not six but eigh cans of Coca Cola. Even the Starbucks mocha, one of the lightest drinks they offer contained cafine equal to that of three cans of Coke. Furthermore 75 percent - got that? - 75% of teen coffee drinkers admited to being at least somewhat addicted. Do you know what cafine can do to your body? Stunting your growth, contributing to weight gain, and screwing with your metabolism are just starters. So, you're probably asking yourself what this has to do with you (Shana)? Simple. It means that while you (Shana) indulge yourself daily in an addictive, artificial adrenaline rush, and then heckle me about hating coffee so much and being so tired in the morning (Shana) and profess the joy and advantages to coffee drinking (Shana), what's really going on (Shana) is that I am merely acting normal, and you are too high on the addictive Columbian powder to know what time in the &#$@% morning it is (Shana). |
