Coffee is more than caffeine |
|
|
|
By Lara Grinevich of the Sensible Alternative
We tend to equate coffee with caffeine, but that is not accurate. Coffee is just one of a few foods that contain the mind-altering, addictive drug caffeine. Other caffeine foods, such as tea and chocolate, affect the body differently than coffee. And minus the caffeine, coffee still has a measurable effect on mood and body. Read more ..
