@tishkova That it certainly does. There is literature from the #17thcentury when #coffee houses become popular in #England. Some of the claims recorded regarding the benefits of #coffee are truly 'mysterious'.
@bibliolater by the way, Michael Pollan covered it in his great book This Is Your Mind on Plants. The chapters about caffeine were my favourite (but the ones about opium and mescaline were also very good), and, let's be real, the only relatable ones :)
@tishkova I have not read that particular book. I do not think it will be beneficial to add it to my waiting reading list as there are so many books already on it waiting to be read but thanks for the suggestion.
