From Brian Wall
In her guide to the human mind, Caroline Williams recommends caffeine to shake off sleep inertia in the mornings (4 October, p 34).
This advice is worthless as any studies supporting her contention were inevitably carried out on caffeine addicts. I gave up caffeine 26 years ago and I am fully awake every morning if I go to bed early enough. Caffeine is a useless and damaging addition to human life. Like all recreational drugs, the only people who need them are those who take them.
Â鶹´«Ã½ should not promote addiction to anything, and especially something that tastes so disgusting. It’s time to get the drugs out of our system.
