POPScaffeine in the diet The caffeine content of coffee depends on the type of coffee bean. Beans from the plant species robusta generally have more caffeine than those from the arabica species. Arabica beans generally produce a more full-bodied flavor. These beans are the ones likely to be found in gourmet coffee shops. The roasting and brewing of coffee also play a part. Contrary to popular belief, darker roasted beans actually have less caffeine. The heat literally roasts out the caffeine.

POPSIs There Slavery In Your Chocolate? This clip is for abailart. This is another even worse example of the bottom line being the driving force behind inhumane treatment of the workers who produce the things we buy every day. This story broke back in 2001, and I'm glad to read that there has been some progress in addressing this atrocity. But as can be seen by this quote from the article there is still money talking in these decisions. "the U.S. chocolate industry and its allies mounted an intense lobbying effort to fight off legislation that would require "slave free" labels for their products." Unfortunately, Money Talks! Legislators have their hands tied by lobbyists and special interest groups. Sad!

POPSDrug reference information. Facts, uses and dangers. Alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, codeine, and many more drugs are examples of psychoactive drugs. There is information regarding Legal and Cultural influences. I think that before I can comment on or even have an opinion on drugs, I must be aware of the clinical details, and range of effects. This site does not condone or condemn drug use, but is a valuable guide regarding drugs, particularly commonly taken social drugs, illegal drugs, many prescribed medicines and associated cultural use and Law. Always remembering that every persons metabolism has differences, which may make something that seems safe for some,dangerous, for others, such as allergies, genetic differences, tolerances, and social acceptability. It is always best discussed with a trusted Physician.
