什么人经常给他们的孩子吃药?世界上什么地方的人在上班之前
吃药?答案很简单——普通人，在世界的各个地方。
这里的药是指咖啡因。科学家们估计世界上70％的人每天都服用咖啡因。成年人饮茶、喝咖啡的时候就摄入了咖啡因。孩子们喝可口可乐或者类似的软饮料时也摄入咖啡因。巧克力中也有咖啡因。结果，大多数地方的大多数人在多数情况下都受咖啡因的影响。
很多人对咖啡因的影响做了科学的调查。大多数人认为咖啡因刺激了神经系统，使身体有效利用能量。这就是为什么很多亚洲人喜欢吃东西的时候饮茶，西方人经常饭后喝一杯咖啡了。
因为咖啡因的效果很温和，所以很少有人阻止人们喝咖啡。美国有一个宗教组织禁止使用咖啡因，被人们认为非常怪异。但是因为每一个人都饮用咖啡，所以它对人们的影响还是很大的。咖啡因是一种改变了世界的药。
300多年前，茶和咖啡被介绍到了西方。人们马上感受到了新饮品的效果。在纽约，咖啡店中挤满了做计划、谈生意和做买卖的人。在咖啡店里谈的生意对美国的商业快速发展起了部分作用。历史无论如何都会向前发展，但是咖啡的到来加速了这一切。
