"You'll never think the same way about your morning cup of coffee."
--Mark McClusky, editor in chief of Wired.com and author of
"Faster, Higher, Stronger"
Journalist Murray Carpenter has been under the influence of a drug
for nearly three decades. And he's in good company, because chances
are you're hooked, too. Humans have used caffeine for thousands of
years. A bitter white powder in its most essential form, a
tablespoon of it would kill even the most habituated user. This
addictive, largely unregulated substance is everywhere--in places
you'd expect (like coffee and chocolate) and places you wouldn't
(like chewing gum and fruit juice), and Carpenter reveals its
impact on soldiers, athletes, and even children. It can make you
stronger, faster, and more alert, but it's not perfect, and its
role in health concerns like obesity and anxiety will surprise you.
Making stops at the coffee farms of central Guatemala, a synthetic
caffeine factory in China, and an energy shot bottler in New
Jersey, among numerous other locales around the globe,
"Caffeinated" exposes the high-stakes but murky world of caffeine,
drawing on cutting-edge science and larger-than-life characters to
offer an unprecedented understanding of America's favorite
drug.
