Caffeine does affect your
body and brain
Caffeine has positive impacts on the brain, body, and the central nervous system because of the increase of dopamine in the brain, which gives the feeling of pleasure closely associated with positive emotions and happiness.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that increases the heart rate which delivers more oxygen to the muscles resulting in an increase of energy to be more active and uses up the carbohydrates and sugar in your body.
Research also found that caffeine enables the brain to function better, due to caffeine reducing tiredness that aids your increase in your attention span.
Caffeine also helps to reduce weight as it provides more energy that enables you to have more physical activity which means you burn more carbohydrates and sugars off quicker through exercise.
The European Food Safety Authority suggests the daily intake for most healthy adults, except for pregnant women, is 400mg, equivalent to approximately Starbuck 5.2 shots of espresso.
Expert advice expecting mothers should consume less than 200mg a day, approximately 12 oz cup of coffee.
As of date, there are no studies conducted on humans linking birth defects, reduced fertility, and low birth weights. But APA advises against expecting and breastfeeding mothers consuming caffeine.

About US | OCM Profile
OCM (OnCoffeeMakers.com) was started in 2007 with the first webpage about coffee machines. And for a number of years, we focused on helping people find their desired coffee machine (we still are helping folks with that! So, if you are looking for coffee machines for office or restaurants - check out the link).
In 2010, we started getting enquiries on restaurant marketing and we start to help food and beverage brands with their marketing. Below are campaigns and events that we have done over the years:
