You probably know what happens when you don’t
have your daily fix. Strange things start happening. Withdrawal
may set in, causing a strong urgency to consume more caffeine
in order to satisfy the craving. This craving is better known
as addiction.
A recent study at Johns Hopkins University
revealed that even the lightest coffee drinkers could become
addicted. One cup of coffee every day has enough power to
generate an addiction, according to JHU researchers.
"Caffeine is the world's most commonly
used stimulant, and it's cheap and readily available so people
can maintain their use of caffeine quite easily," according
to Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and neuroscience
at Johns Hopkins.
