ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest that the article prompts considerations about daily caffeine use and health, implying a positive influence on public awareness and potential behavioral changes.

Abstract in brief

  • Caffeine increases cortisol secretion in both resting individuals and those under mental stress, but it's unclear if daily caffeine consumption leads to tolerance in this response.
  • A study was conducted with 96 participants who abstained from caffeine for 5 days, followed by testing different caffeine doses to measure cortisol levels.
  • Results showed that while initial cortisol response to caffeine was reduced after daily intake, cortisol levels still rose later in the day, suggesting some tolerance develops but not complete resistance.

Any studies: Effect of rise of coffee outlets + increase of average mug size (10 yrs ago ≤250ml, now ≥500) on cortisol levels esp in teens' key brain development period?
