Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The origins of coffee are lost in legend, but the most popular tale traces its discovery to a goatherd in Ethiopia. By the sixth century A. D. , the plant had reached Arabia, where it was used as a food and medicine. Coffee beans were fermented to make wine, or dried, crushed, and eaten. #2 The word coffee comes from the Arab word qahwah. The botanical name of the original species discovered in Africa is Coffea arabica. There are three general groupings of coffee: Brazils, Milds, and Coffea robusta, a variety of coffee grown at lower elevations and considered inferior in quality to Coffea arabica. #3 Caffeine is the main stimulant in coffee, and it has received a great deal of attention ever since it was identified in 1820. But it seems that every year, even more noxious ingredients are isolated in coffee. #4 Caffeine is a biological poison used by plants as a pesticide. It is produced by more than eighty species of plants, and the reason may well be survival. It is used in coffee to make it bitter, which discourages insects and animals from eating it.

“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.
