Yes! Finally an episode dedicated entirely to caffeine! And just how wonderful it is. ...and how wonderful it may not be. In this installment of BrainWaves, you'll hear about how fantastic and how frightful this chemical can be. BrainWaves podcasts and online content are intended for medical education only and should not be used to guide medical decision making in routine clinical practice. Yes, caffeine can be toxic. But so is water. Be smart, do your homework, and remember this is just a podcast--not a guideline for pharmacological management. REFERENCES 1.
