If coffee didn't contain that little
chemical substance caffeine would it be so
popular? Regardless it does and that has
lead to it self advertising
effect. It
makes one feel good, so we get addicted. The
good feeling we get can be attributed to the dopamine
that is released. This almost euphoric feeling is what
helps lead coffee addiction.
Coffee or more specifically the
chemical caffeine takes the place of adenosine, another
chemical in the body but, unlike caffeine adenosine
makes one tired. Because caffeine is taking over the
receptors in place of adenosine the adenosine doesn't
have the chance make one tired.
