CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL

I'm Gwen Outen with the VOA Special English Health Report.
Coffee, tea and soft drinks usually contain caffeine. Caffeine is also
found in chocolate, in medicine for colds and in drugs that keep
people awake.
In the United States, adults who use products with caffeine get an
average of about two hundred eighty milligrams a day. This equals
the caffeine in about two large cups of coffee. A report this month in
the Journal of the American Dietetic Association says adults drink
nearly half the coffee they did fifty years ago. But they still get most of
their caffeine from coffee.
In general, the more people drink, the more severe the effects if they
miss a day. Yet a recent report says people who drink as little as one
cup of coffee a day can become dependent (ketergantungan) on
caffeine. In fact, it says caffeine withdrawal (kemunduran) should be
listed as a mental disorder.
Researchers examined (menyelidiki) more than sixty studies on
caffeine withdrawal from the last one hundred seventy years. They
identified several common effects, such as headaches and
sleepiness. Some people have difficulty thinking. Others get
angry easily or become very sad.
The researchers found that half the people suffered (menderita)
headaches if they did not have caffeine. Thirteen percent had a
more serious problem. They were unable to work or do other
normal activities. These problems generally resulted twelve to
twenty-four hours after stopping caffeine.
Ronald Griffiths of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,
Maryland, led the study. He noted that caffeine is the most commonly
used stimulant in the world. A stimulant produces a temporary
increase in energy.
The good news is that people can free themselves of caffeine
dependence. The researchers say people should slowly reduce the
amount of caffeine in their diet. The report appeared in the journal
Psychopharmacology.
The report published by the dietetic association is based on a national
continuing study of what Americans eat. Researchers from the
University of Vermont and the University of Maryland say almost

ninety percent of adults have caffeine in their diet. So do

seventy-six percent of children, mostly from soft drinks.
After coffee, tea used to provide the second most caffeine for men age
eighteen to fifty-four and women eighteen to thirty-four. But
tea is now third behind soft drinks.
