La dieta y la cafeÃna
Fuentes alimenticias:
La cafeÃna se consume ampliamente y se encuentra en forma natural en las hojas, semillas y frutos de más de 60 plantas, entre las que se pueden mencionar, hojas de té, nueces de cola, café y granos de cacao. También se encuentra en el café, té, chocolate, cacao y algunas colas.
A menudo, se añade la cafeÃna a medicamentos que no necesitan receta médica, como analgésicos , supresores del apetito y medicamentos para el resfriado. La cafeÃna no tiene sabor y puede separarse de un alimento por medio de un proceso quÃmico llamado descafeinización.
