In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Stefan Tribble to talk about why people like coffee so much. He explains how caffeine is metabolized by the body and the mechanism that stops you from feeling sleepy. As well as how athletes and others use coffee to help them to perform better. Kenneth also talks about the differences between synthetic and natural caffeine.
