July 25, 2021 at 11:42amConfirmed on a couple of sites – did not know that it is a molecule with only C, H, N, and O in it – I wonder what part of it gives the punch of attention. So – pure organic molecule. As much as I hate those words when applied by ignoramuses to everything, ‘pure’ and ‘organic’ will be what I tell anyone who says caffeine is bad for you. Doesn’t even contain arsenic!

July 25, 2021 at 11:44amCorrect me if I’m wrong, but I believe arsenic is pure and organic….

July 25, 2021 at 11:45amNope. Not organic, but definitely pure. I think. What do I know? Will ask the chemist husband.

July 25, 2021 at 11:47amI think it’s a salt?

July 25, 2021 at 11:49amArsenic is the element As.
What the form of it is that kills might be a salt – but I haven’t investigated.

July 25, 2021 at 11:44amForgot to mention I’m sitting here drinking First (Diet) Coke, how I start the day. Second Coke comes after First nap, and usually breakfast.

July 25, 2021 at 11:46amDoes your Diet Coke have aspartame under that or any other name? I know you’ll research it, but I seem to recall some noise about it being bad for your concentration. That was a while ago, though.

July 25, 2021 at 11:48amI consume aspartame as one of my regular daily input – sugar is so far worse for my concentration they’re not even in the same universe.
Eat sugar = lose four days of being able to think.
Eat aspartame (and I buy it pure, put it in my protein shake mixture and in my daily flax ‘tea’) = no effect.
YMMV
