In the morning people usually come to drink coffee

Caffeine is the most used psychoactive substance in the world, which makes the division around it continuing between a category that encourages its consumption, and another that warns of its dangers. In the morning, people usually drink coffee in order to drive drowsiness and improve mood, making them "addicted" to it, which worries some experts. But the Science Alert website revealed that most research on coffee consumption indicates that this drink is not as bad as it is being promoted, indicating that it has many health benefits.
