Pretty much my only skills those OP. I used to drink like 8 cups of espresso a day. Now I drink just water and milk. All in all the best beverages ever.

Anyway what negative effect does caffeine have then?

[Anonymous No.982193]

Not OP, but:

>Researchers have found that long-term consumption of low dose caffeine slowed hippocampus-dependent learning and impaired long-term memory in mice. Caffeine consumption for 4 weeks also significantly reduced hippocampal neurogenesis compared to controls during the experiment. The conclusion was that long-term consumption of caffeine could inhibit hippocampus-dependent learning and memory partially through inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis.

[Anonymous No.982403]

>>982266

Note those are the short-term effects.

[Anonymous No.982632]

>>982403
Except the only long-term effects mentioned there are not the ones OP mentioned.
>Caffeine consumption for 4 weeks also significantly reduced hippocampal neurogenesis compared to controls during the experiment.
Which means it reduces new long-term memory.
Citation still needed for OPs claims.
