We've all read the studies on caffeine... from correlational studies reducing heart disease for some groups but not for others, to the effect of caffeine on mental performance, to work on the biomechanism of caffeine on adenosine. So what's everyone's general verdict on caffeine?

I recall reading that caffeine unlike amphetamines does not help with mental focus in regards to testing and studying. Though it certain helps with studying if you would be sleeping otherwise.
Our bodies quickly become acclimated to caffeine. I believe after taking caffeine for a week, there is little response to caffeine. Also be careful of addiction, some people go through real physical coffee withdraws.
If you cant find studies on wiki, ill dig them up.

Doesn't that sum up the reason why not to use it? Eventually it has no effect and you become dependent. I only liked caffeine for the mental stimulation effects -- by far the best nootropic that I have found. However, interesting that some claim it does nothing for testing or studying. Must just be the change in mood or alertness that are the only benefits.

my molecular genetics professor once stated that studies show caffeine inhibit apoptosis and promotes cancer.
Studies seem to indicate quite the opposite. (check the first post in the second thread)
