What is Caffeine Allergy?
People drink coffee because of its stimulating effect but if they get caffeine allergy, they'll feel sick. Coffee contains caffeine, an alkali metal that stimulates the brain and central nervous system. This might be why we wake up early. Caffeine is known to affect the body by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, making us shake and sweat.
Coffee, chocolate, and tea provide most of our caffeine intake. It should come as no surprise that we drink them in great quantities. In fact, over half of us drink three cups a day! Iced beverages make up over 20% of the entire liquid consumption market. This means that by consuming iced drinks you may be drinking more than 40 gallons every single year!
