They are related with the Type A personality, which is mainly caused by the caffeine. So, we only suspect<br />

but we do not have statistics or other proofs to incriminate the caffeine as their etiology.<br />

XVI - 168) Parkinson’s disease increase in women using hormones and caffeine, and both sex<br />

with chocolate, and coffee: “Use of hormones was associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease<br />

among women with low caffeine consumption, and with increased risk among women with high<br />

caffeine consumption. Among hormone users, women consuming six or more cups of coffee per day<br />

had a fourfold higher risk of Parkinson’s Disease.” (Ascherio A, and others).<br />

“Consumption of chocolate was significantly higher in Parkinson's disease patients compared to controls.”<br />

(Wolz M, and others).<br />

“Parkinson's Epidemiology and Genetic Associations Studies in the United States (PEGASUS) included<br />

five population-based case-control studies. One laboratory genotyped four Adenosine receptor<br />

A2A (ADORA2A) and three Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) polymorphisms in 1325 Parkinson's<br />

disease cases and 1735 age- and sex-matched controls. The coffee-Parkinson's disease association was<br />

strongest among slow metabolizers of caffeine who were homozygous carriers of the Cytochrome P450<br />

1A2 polymorphisms.” (Popat R A, and others).<br />

The men and women don't die with caffeine or chocolate, but they can get Parkinson's disease. It is<br />

fair, is not it?<br />

XVI - 169) Paroxysmal choreo-athetosis: “Paroxysmal choreoathetosis is a movement disorder characterized<br />

by episodes or attacks of involuntary movements of the limbs, trunk, and facial muscles. Involuntary<br />

movements precipitate some attacks, and other attacks occur when the individual has consumed<br />

alcohol or caffeine, or is tired or stressed.” (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and<br />

Stroke).<br />

The Hemifacial spasm can be caused so by the caffeine, and so by the wine intoxication.<br />

XVI - 170) Pellucid Marginal Corneal Degeneration (Keratotorus): Nobody knows its etiology. Is<br />

it not the caffeine?<br />

XVI - 171) Peptic ulcer: “Our results suggest a close correlation between the ulcer-like symptoms and<br />

the amount of coffee ingested by patients with duodenal ulcer.” (Eisig J N, and others).<br />

There are studies showing that gastritis and peptic ulcer are stimulated, as by caffeine, as by decaffeinated<br />

coffee.<br />

XVI - 172) Periarteritis nodosa: “Forty percent of the rats treated with caffeine only or with caffeine<br />

and phenacetin in combination were found to have periarteritis nodosa-like lesions in the mesenteric<br />

vessels.” (Johansson S).<br />

XVI - 173) Physical underdevelopment (Stuntedness). It is a rare condition. It is caused by the caffeine<br />

impairing the growing cartilages when the body is developing. To its occurrence, it is necessary<br />

the simultaneity occurrence of at least three etiologic factors:<br />

The individual inherited very high sensibility to caffeine.<br />

The individual drinks coffee continually since early childhood, or receives caffeine since before born,<br />

by his mother drinking caffeine.<br />

The daily drinks of milk was substituted by coffee, or there was some undernourishment.<br />

Here is one of these patients:
