Talk:Caffeine

An unclear sentence?

In section "Chemistry", there is the following sentence: "The pyrimidinedione in turn contains two amide functional groups that exist predominantly in a zwitterionic resonance the location from which the nitrogen atoms are double bonded to their adjacent amide carbons atoms". In my opinion, it is not clear. Perhaps, it should be rewritten.Ekisbares (talk) 18:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

ICDM should be ICD

ICDM is mentioned three times: twice as ICDM-9 and once as ICDM 9. The first mention of ICDM links to [[1]], which has no ctrl-f instances of ICDM. A quick google search also redirects to ICD. Would like a second opinion on if this should be ICD in all cases. rex (talk) 16:32, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

“Darker roasts have more caffeine”

A quick search shows otherwise: A dark-roasted bean contains more caffeine than a light-roasted bean due to its stronger flavor. Not true. – Et0zl Talk☻ 13:53, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Narcolepsy treatment

This revert was justified because the source did not evaluate caffeine effects on narcolepsy specifically, but rather only included it in the discussion. The one source used here is primary research, too preliminary to justify including it in the article. Best to wait for a WP:MEDRS review on possible use of caffeine for treating narcolepsy, which a PubMed search shows is not available as of 2015, here. Zefr (talk) 14:05, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi all, so I am trying to add the following sentence : "Caffeine has shown tentative evidence for narcolepsy" in the "Research" category of the article providing the following secondary and reliable reference: https://doi.org/10.2147%2Ftcrm.s244714 . User Zefr does not agree citing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine) and the fact the evidence is weak and that a wikipedia article is not a news article. I would like to add that we can usually find the same type of claims being made in high ranked wikipedia bio-medical articles (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=tentative+evidence&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1) What are your toughts on this disagreement ? Thanks to you all! Medhekp (talk) 14:07, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Zefr; this research, based on a pilot study with only sixteen participants, is not suitable for use in Wikipedia. That other such stuff may be included in other articles is not a relevant argument. Richard Keatinge (talk) 09:45, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Contradiction (of sorts): Under Adverse Effects - Psychological and Adverse Effects - Risk of Other Diseases

In the Adverse Effects - Psychological section, the quote is "Increased consumption of coffee and caffeine is associated with a decreased risk of depression" In the Adverse Effects - Risk of Other Diseases section, the quote is "Caffeine consumption may be associated with reduced risk of depression, although conflicting results have been reported." Both quotes cite references 99 and 100. I myself have not looked into the sources. These two sentences are contradictory. Migy007 (talk) 15:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I removed the comment on depression from the "Risk of other diseases" section, as the topic is adequately covered under the Psychology section with this edit. Hope that helps. Zefr (talk) 17:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Why its so detrimental to kids.

It actually stunts there growth. 72.201.35.99 (talk) 16:16, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a verifiably false statement, as discussed with references in our article. DMacks (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Caffeine in jet lag etc. reference point 55

The article referenced, in the first paragraph, says that it is “unclear” whether error or injury is effected by caffeine intake for those with jet lag or work shift disorder (or whatever it was called) whereas the Wiki article states that error is lessened by use of a caffeine. The facts between the two pages are not in agreement.

Caffeine isn't a "mild cognitive nootropic" the wikipedia nootropic page classifieds it as a nootropic wrong information saying that it's a "mild one" James.Pater (talk) 22:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia Community,

I am writing to propose an update to the "Caffeine" article. Specifically, the current citation number 243 ("Some Common Questions". Eagle Energy. Retrieved 22 May 2017), which is permanently dead and no longer provides valuable information to the article's readers, with my own recently published article titled "Caffeine Inhalers: An In-Depth Look at Use, Effects, and Regulation," which can be found at the following URL: https://thegoldenlamb.com/coffee-science/caffeine-inhalers/.

This report not only provides a high level of detail on caffeine inhalers but also has been structured and written to meet the standards of reliable sources as defined by Wikipedia's guidelines.

Therefore, I propose that this article can be a suitable replacement for the dead link, thus improving the quality of the information provided on the "Caffeine" Wikipedia page.

I kindly request that a member of the Wikipedia community who has the ability to edit the page reviews this proposal and, if found suitable, replaces the current citation number 243 with the following:

"Caffeine Inhalers: An In-Depth Look at Use, Effects, and Regulation". The Golden Lamb. Retrieved 29 July 2023.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions or further clarifications needed regarding this request. Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Error in table under Products, last line 'Coffee-flavored milk drink': the value in the mg/L column reads 660-3290, should read 66-354 according to the cited source. Also, although the caffeine per serving values agree with the cited reference, the stated serving size of 250 ml does not match the citation. 80.216.216.86 (talk) 21:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
