Talk:Health effects of caffeine

Reviewing (or not)
I would have been prepared to review this article for GA candidacy but I fear I would have been distracted by its heavy reliance on news reports and primary sources. There are a lot of contradictory primary sources, and the only way to make content reliable would be a secondary source that addresses these contradications (e.g. with regards to diabetes). Can I direct the reader to WP:MEDRS, which we apply to clinical articles but probably applies to this article also. JFW &#124; T@lk  11:49, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

What about caffeine and urinary bladder cancer???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.132.61.165 (talk) 23:15, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Removed Image with Inaccurate Information
I've removed a diagram purporting to show some of the negative effects of caffeine. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Caffeine#Effects_When_Taken_in_Moderation for discussion, as the same (or highly similar) image was used in both cases. Blahdenoma (talk) 20:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Diaresis/ diuresis
I believe the use of the word "diaresis" was in error, as it has something to do with phonetics. "Diuresis" refers to increased urination, and I think that was what was intended, so I have changed it. If I am wrong, hopefully someone will catch it and change it back. 70.253.91.133 (talk) 03:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect citations
I know I should fix this myself, but I'm not going to have time to sort it out in the near future.

Many of the items in the positive and negative effects sections incorrectly cite Smith A 2002, "Effects of caffeine on human behavior". Other sources listed on this page do support those claims, but the Smith paper does not. &mdash;Triskaideka 23:31, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

MERGE WITH "CAFFEINE"
This page goes far beyond discussing health effects, for example extensive discussion of mechanisms of action. Will merge with "Caffeine" unless there are valid objections brought here to dissuade me. Regards. IiKkEe (talk) 13:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree in principle, but the merger will require extensive editing, as both articles are complex with overlapping information and references. I've assumed the main reason why they have been separate is for this reason which might justify reconsideration. --Zefr (talk) 16:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Article organization
Even illegal recreational drugs don't usually begin with a section on toxicity/intoxication. If you look at articles about heroin or cocaine, the toxicity sections are lower down. Is there a reason to place such a heavy emphasis on caffine toxicity? 66.57.50.6 (talk) 16:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Caffeine has a more standard layout and is the article you would have to use to make a true comparison. I think the plan is to eventually merge this article into "Caffeine" so I wouldn't spend too much effort worrying about this. Sizeofint (talk) 17:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm still slowly merging all the content in this article back into caffeine, since as of now it just represents an arbitrary an unnecessary page split. It was a WP:CFORK initially.  Seppi  333  (Insert 2¢) 19:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
