Takeaway: Moderate consumption is healthy (like anything, I suppose).

I learned a few things, like caffeine is processed the same in your body whether you are working hard or sitting down. It isn't a diuretic like I've always been told; in fact you process coffee just like you would water.

For athletics, caffeine is good for boosting muscle power a bit, and tricking your body into not feeling fatigue. But, if you do it too much and too soon (early in the race), you can crash before it's over. Best idea is to wait about half way through, so it kicks in toward the end when you really need it. In the very beginning you're already energized and have lots of adrenaline.
