When caffeine began to be used centuries ago in the form of coffee, tea, and chocolate, its use was controversial and its full effects were not known. Although who takes caffeine, the forms in which it is taken, and how researchers study its effects have changed significantly since then, the fact that its use is controversial has not. Furthermore, although scientists have experimented to determine its effects on a number of organisms—from spiders and rats to humans—they have not been able to come to many conclusions about its harmfulness. Its benefits are widely known and are, of course, the reason it is and has been so widely used
