Wow this is such an amazing article. Haven't found this much value per sentence in a long time. Thank you Lauren, you make health and biology and drugs incredibly interesting and fun to learn about. Keep it up!!
So this has me wondering how long the various caffeine related byproducts stick around, how long it takes the kidneys to return to a normal state after being forced to process excess coffee for 30+ years, and how long it takes the brain to recover without the caffeine-crutch.
I’m on week 3 since I quit mainlining coffee. I’m still pretty dopey every day after 1:00PM, but my thinking has cleared up. Absolutely zero urge to drink coffee, which seems pretty surprising. I’ve even given up the herbal tea for water.
Your kidneys are purpose built for filtration, so no problem there as far as caffeine goes. It’s things like high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking that hurt your kidneys the most.
Im going dig into how long the caffeine and its byproducts stick around in the body next week. Maybe I can find a neuroscientist to learn more about the brain effects 🤔
