Schools in Spain will be required to serve fruit, vegetables and fish in the fight against obesity.

All schools in Spain will be legally obliged to serve fruit and vegetables as part of their lunches and fish at least once a week under new rules aimed at reducing the amount of fried and fatty food, and levels of sugar and caffeine in drink served to children.

Random story that I think about a lot: I was once in a coffee shop when a guy ordered 20 shots of espresso. Like in a single cup, not lots of small cups for a group of friends. Barista looked alarmed and asked the manager whether that was allowed. The manager came over, studied the man briefly, and said, "Sure." #coffee #caffeine #alkaloids #espresso

An der Uni gleicht kein Tag dem anderen, was mir sehr gut an dem Job gefällt. Heute hatte ich Meetings mit Kollaborationspartnern um Experimente zu planen, habe an einem Projektantrag geschrieben, mit einem Postdoc Ergebnisse gesprochen und paper peer-reviewed. Alles powered by #Caffeine

Yeah no I had it twisted regarding caffeine

I can have caffeine on a relaxing day and it doesn't stress me out worse

I can have little or a lot of caffeine on a difficult day and I'm still stressed just as bad

It's stress. I am stressed. I am in a line of work that is stressful.

Holy smokes I wish I had even an iota of better interroception. I'm improving in trying to feel and assess how I am feeling but it's like trying to hear sounds through concrete

Ugh

Sadiq Khan is celebrating #Eid al-#Fitr with a coffee (I didn't even know #Muslims had to also abstain from #caffeine during #Ramadan !) - but he looks more like he is going to join #Madness on tour #London

February's most-read Biochemistry paper reconstructs the genome of #YerbaMate for the first time, teaching us about the convergent evolution of #caffeine: https://elifesciences.org/articles/104759?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=submissions_organic&utm_content=top_paper

Gooooooooooooood morning, Fediverse!

Everybody talks about “historic" and “unprecedented·" events happening all around us. But in the end, simple morning rituals are what actually make the world go round

Looked up caffeine allergy & no more Matcha tea for me.
I should have looked it up before today's dose but I was only just vertical & needed to wake me up.

Fingers the sore itchy patches calm down & go away along with the headaches.

My emergency anti-itch cream actually worked today but my arms were very toasty during the oh so exciting () annual meeting.

#Goodmorning from Fisksätra! My #tea habit is ridiculous. I'm down to one small cup in the morning, and still I wake up with a #caffeine withdrawal headache. I'm debating with myself whether it's worth it to drink tea at all. But it's such a sweet pickup in the morning... How are you?

“Research on caffeine and cognitive performance remains controversial. Variations in genes associated with caffeine metabolism and response such as CYP1A2, AHR and ADORA2A may account for variable findings.” #dna #isogg #genetics #caffeine #coffee #epigenetics #geneadons

"A New Zealand-specific study in 2021 found that coffee and tea contributed 32 percent of the caffeine intake for five to 12-year-olds and 48 percent for 13 to 19-year-olds.

Soft drinks were the second biggest contributor followed by all things chocolate as well as energy drinks. Surprisingly, some pastries, cereals and cakes can have 'hidden' caffeine."

(1/?)

More often than not, flavored coffee beans are flavored to mask the fact that woefully inferior, nasty-ass coffee beans were used.

With that said, when I find several charming things on the packaging, I will probably still give it a try if the price is right.

well that's fuckin frustrating

apparently caffeine on macos phones home a fuckton

anyone else have an alternative that doesn't have telemetry?

Excited to pick green tea leaves here soon. They can grow quite well in mild locations in western Washington.

I planted this green tea plant 15 years ago and it has survived some very hard frosts (down to -12°C/10°F) in the Chehalis Valley where it's planted.

We tried fermenting the leaves to make black tea a few years back, but didn't leave it long enough. Ended up with something amber-colored, but it was quite good!

As a #Canadian it has been impossible to escape news of #tariffs and #TradeWars with the #US of late.

Then I got to thinking about how our cultures are not necessarily as identical as many assume, which THEN reminded me that I was 30-something before learning that those super-hyped up TV #commercials for #MountainDew actually made sense in the USA, where clear drinks were allowed to have #caffeine in them.
