  1. There is one group that does not ingest caffeine at all, even in chocolate–the Mormons. Of course, globally speaking, I would think they are statistically insignificant.

    Is there enough caffeine in decaffeinated tea to become dependent? (I believe there is some.)

  2. There is always a bit in a so called decaffeinated beverage. But, you would have to ingest about 100 mg (that is the low side, some sources say it may be as high as 400 mg) per day to develop withdrawal symptoms (which by definition, makes you dependent). There is, usually, under a mg of caffeine in a decaffienated cup of coffee or tea. So, o worries.

    Yeah, true enough about Mormons. That said, as you have pointed out, that is a small percentage of people.

  3. Hey Dave I just wanted to tell you that the power points for the caffine and nicotine classes aren’t working when i try to download them at the school, thanks!
