Spilling The Beans on Caffeine

NEW YORK, NY — Marina Kushner's new book "The Truth About Caffeine-How Companies That Promote it Deceive Us And What We Can Do About It" reveals frightening evidence of the damage caffeine can cause over time.

Caffeine overdoses can lead to headaches, jitteriness, irritability, difficulties in concentration, and mood swings which drain productivity from business and industry. In addition, caffeine consumption is linked to heart disease, pancreas and bladder cancer, hypoglycemia and central nervous system disorders.Caffeine intoxication can produce mood swings and insomnia, increased muscle tension, impair digestion and nutrition, restrict blood circulation to the brain, raise blood pressure and accelerate the heart rate. Death can result in as little as 5 grams of caffeine.

“Caffeine has been linked to serious health problems, as well as productivity issues,” said Kushner.“We realize the importance of having healthy citizens, and how the effects of caffeine can hurt a person’s overall health and well-being.”

Kushner is the founder of the Caffeine Awareness Alliance, a non-profit organization, which sponsors National Caffeine Awareness Month and is held annually in March across America. Ms. Kushner is an authority on caffeine and the detrimental effects it has on the body and mind. The Truth About Caffeine, published by SCR Books, explores the historical and social impact of the drug throughout the ages while offering healthy alternatives to its usage.


"The Truth About Caffeine" features numerous clinical studies by respected medical journals and healthy alternatives to caffeinated beverages..
