Caffeine is a mildly addictive substance that stimulates the central nervous system.
The effects of this stimulant differs for individuals depending on factors such as the quantity consumed, whether that quantity was taken all at once or over time and the caffeine tolerance level of the user. Most people develop a tolerance rather quickly. Caffeine may increase blood pressure, raise blood cholesterol, and cause irregular heartbeats for those who are unaccustomed or sensitive to its use. In addition, excessive intake of caffeine, as in four cups of coffee a day, has been known to produce side effects such as dizziness, agitation, restlessness, headaches, intestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and insomnia. The Food and Drug Administration states that pregnant and breast feeding women should limit their use of caffeine products or avoid them completely.
