A member asked:

Will reducing caffeine intake increase brain function?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Caffeine is a relatively safe substance. It does enhance wakefulness and alertness. Reducing it should not improve brain function and may, during the acute phase of withdrawal which cn last a couple of week, actually decrease brain function and cause headaches and a feeling of tiredness.
