"content": "\u003cp>Do you need a caffeinated drink like coffee to start your day or meet a big deadline? You’re not alone. About 90% of human beings worldwide consume some form of caffeine. Medically, caffeine isn’t considered addictive. But it can feel that way since caffeine blocks the neurochemicals that make us feel sleepy. And too much caffeine can cause jitteriness and even anxiety attacks. But all that awake time does have benefits. Most historians agree that caffeine played a role in both the American and French revolutions, and it keeps the workforce chugging along to this day. It also may boost heart and brain health.

Caffeine is typically safe for consumption within appropriate doses. Despite being labeled as a drug, caffeine is generally not considered to be addictive. However, here in the U.S. caffeine use has become ingrained in our work culture, leaving many of us dependent on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"\">How does caffeine affect your brain?\u003c/span> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever wonder why you feel sleepy? Well, the chemical responsible for that feeling is called adenosine. While you go through your day, your brain is constantly creating it to help promote sleep activity. Caffeine as a chemical actually prevents adenosine receptors from absorbing the adenosine you produce. However, this doesn’t stop you from producing adenosine, which explains the crash many of us get after the effects of caffeine start fading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"\">Is coffee healthy for you?\u003c/span> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, that mostly depends on you. As of right now, research shows that, for the most part, coffee is healthy for you. However, as with everything pertaining to diet, this is on a case-by-case basis. Coffee itself is chock-full of polyphenols – a.k.a antioxidants – which can help prevent and repair oxidative stress you receive by living your life. Caffeine is also a polyphenol that has neuroprotective qualities. The trouble that most people have with coffee is with the caffeine content itself. Everybody has different levels of caffeine tolerance, meaning that a healthy dosage of coffee or caffeine is different for everyone. A few clear signs that you have consumed too much caffeine are things like heart palpitations, jitteriness, anxiety, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003cspan class=\"\">What role has caffeine/coffee played in work culture?\u003c/span> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could argue that during the industrial revolution, coffee was almost as valuable a resource as coal or oil.

Rather than a zero-tolerance philosophy, harm reduction is focused on helping people make more informed decisions about their own health and reducing the negative health impacts if they DO choose to do the behavior. With harm reduction, how you measure success is not, “Are students doing drugs less?” Instead, it’s how safe are they if they do drugs or are around drugs. For example, knowing how edible cannabis might affect you vs. smoking it. Or how to recognize the symptoms of an overdose and how best to respond to it. When harm reduction is taught well, it’s been proven to prevent death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. And one thing you WON’T find in harm reduction programs is police officers. There is an inherent conflict of interest in law enforcement talking to students about healthier choices around using illegal substances.

That’s the idea behind a new school lunch plan that rolled out in late October called California Thursdays. Fifteen districts across the state have partnered with the program, including the biggest, like Los Angeles and San Diego.

Therefore, you may want to invite that one person who’s always the life of the party (fattening foods), but you probably don’t want too many of these party friends in attendance, yearning for the spotlight.

Therefore, you may want to invite that one person who’s always the life of the party (fattening foods), but you probably don’t want too many of these party friends in attendance, yearning for the spotlight.

For a year and a half, residents of Flint were drinking water \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/\">contaminated with lead\u003c/a>—“a potent, know, irreversible neurotoxin,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/in-flint-public-trust-poisoned-by-toxic-drinking-water-crisis-2/\">says Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha\u003c/a>, which can cause learning disabilities in children. The crisis, now officially recognized as a state of emergency on a national level, has sparked interest in human rights organizations around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all began in 2014, when the City of Flint—where 40 percent of the residents live in poverty and a majority of the residents are black—in a cost-saving measure, switched their water supply from Detroit’s drinking water, sourced from Lake Huron, to the Flint River. Many sources \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/18/us/flint-michigan-water-crisis-five-things/\">mention a study\u003c/a> in 2011 that found that he river water would need to be treated with anti-corrosive agents in order to make the water safe to drink, in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. The anti-corrosive agents were important because the pipes that had been in use in Flint for decades were old and contained lead. However, the Department of Environmental Quality decided not to add the anti-corrosives to the water. The day of the switch, April 25, 2014, Flint’s department of public works director Howard Croft stated in a \u003ca href=\"http://flintwaterstudy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snyder-emails.pdf\">press release\u003c/a>, “The test results have shown that our water is not only safe, but of the high quality that Flint customers have come to expect. We are proud of the end result.” Once the corrosive water was flowing through the pipes, though, the damage was done. Residents complained of filthy drinking and bathing water, getting sick, and developing rashes, yet the government repeatedly assured them that everything was fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government officials are now trying to find out how this all happened. How was contaminated water allowed to flow to the taps of Flint residents for a year and a half, and all the while they were told it was safe to drink? \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/state-investigator-named-to-flint-water-crisis-probe/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Investigations have commenced\u003c/a>, launched by the federal government, Governor Snyder and Michigan’s attorney general Bill Schuette, and some key officials in the crisis have resigned.

For a year and a half, residents of Flint were drinking water \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/\">contaminated with lead\u003c/a>—“a potent, know, irreversible neurotoxin,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/in-flint-public-trust-poisoned-by-toxic-drinking-water-crisis-2/\">says Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha\u003c/a>, which can cause learning disabilities in children. The crisis, now officially recognized as a state of emergency on a national level, has sparked interest in human rights organizations around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all began in 2014, when the City of Flint—where 40 percent of the residents live in poverty and a majority of the residents are black—in a cost-saving measure, switched their water supply from Detroit’s drinking water, sourced from Lake Huron, to the Flint River. Many sources \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/18/us/flint-michigan-water-crisis-five-things/\">mention a study\u003c/a> in 2011 that found that he river water would need to be treated with anti-corrosive agents in order to make the water safe to drink, in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. The anti-corrosive agents were important because the pipes that had been in use in Flint for decades were old and contained lead. However, the Department of Environmental Quality decided not to add the anti-corrosives to the water. The day of the switch, April 25, 2014, Flint’s department of public works director Howard Croft stated in a \u003ca href=\"http://flintwaterstudy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snyder-emails.pdf\">press release\u003c/a>, “The test results have shown that our water is not only safe, but of the high quality that Flint customers have come to expect. We are proud of the end result.” Once the corrosive water was flowing through the pipes, though, the damage was done. Residents complained of filthy drinking and bathing water, getting sick, and developing rashes, yet the government repeatedly assured them that everything was fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From an initial 3.5 million cases to only 126 in 2014, the Carter Center has nearly succeeded in making guinea worm the second disease in human history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. However, Carter has been the only one pushing for the eradication of this disease. Organizations such as\u003ca href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\"> UNICEF\u003c/a> and the World Health Organization\u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/en/\"> (WHO)\u003c/a> have aided in approving measures, but have not monetarily contributed to the program. For decades, philanthropic health intervention has supported governments in areas struggling to cope with diseased populations. Global health initiatives have largely become reliant on a handful of well-wishers like Jimmy Carter because of how difficult it is for governments and international organizations alike to raise funds for humanitarian ventures. The weighing of economic burdens against health burdens has raised an important question: who should be fiscally responsible for maintaining the health of humanity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With campaigns such as the Carter Center’s guinea worm eradication plan and the\u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/\"> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s\u003c/a> tuberculosis incidence reduction program, efforts made by philanthropic organizations are playing a major role in solving the world’s health issues. By focusing on and devoting large sums of money to specific projects, these organizations have been effective in many respects. However, those who are responsible for deciding \u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/General-Information/Grant-Opportunities\">which health programs should receive funding\u003c/a> and which ones have to wait are faced with overwhelming ethical questions, and are often themselves unaffected by the health issues at hand. Moreover, philanthropic organizations operate out of their own good will. Because of this, it might not be feasible to rely on them to continue paying for the world’s health without an effective and reliable system in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_54854\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">[media-credit standalone=0 name=\"CDC\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-54854\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine-400x191.jpg\" alt=\"A Cambodian boy receives the measles vaccine.\" width=\"400\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine-400x191.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine.jpg 794w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>[/media-credit]\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Cambodian boy receives the measles vaccine.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>International humanitarian organizations, most notably WHO, work side-by-side with philanthropic organizations. WHO supports countries to improve health technologies, strengthen health information systems and assure that all people have access to health services at an affordable price. The\u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/health\"> World Bank\u003c/a>, a similar United Nations institution, provides policy advice to help countries expand access to affordable health care, protect people from poverty caused by illness and promote investments that support humanitarian advancement. Although these entities provide coordinating authority in health and set global agendas for achieving universal wellness, they are severely underfunded and often rely on private philanthropic organizations to initiate global health projects. This situation raises the question of whether or not international humanitarian organizations like WHO should receive more funding from Western nations. Even so, there are many concerns surrounding a single international organization having the power to set and police the global health agenda for the entire world. There are also ethical concerns regarding the potential for Western countries with greater monetary influence to manipulate an international organization into a surrogate for their own health ventures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a national level, governments are important in global health because they have direct influence over their populations and are directly impacted by the health of their people. Every nation desires a healthier population, but some countries cannot provide adequate health care to their citizens because of their limited resources and debilitated \u003ca href=\"http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/download/2114031e.pdf?expires=1442552129&id=id&accname=ocid177459&checksum=88174A18B5FF16C205A55D0F042E019B\">economies\u003c/a>. Consequently, when local governments have to direct more money to health, they contribute less to other public necessities like sanitation, education, and infrastructure. This makes \u003ca href=\"http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.EXTR.ZS\">aid from developed countries\u003c/a> the backbone of health-care sectors in developing countries. The United States, for example, has led successful efforts in combatting the AIDS virus on a global scale through a government-sponsored program known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.pepfar.gov/\">PEPFAR\u003c/a>. However, in the developed world, political controversy stems from the idea that local governments will eventually enjoy the benefits of a healthier population and should therefore handle their own health care regardless of limitations on resources. Additionally, \u003ca href=\"http://www.idea.int/resources/analysis/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=52020\">party polarization over foreign aid\u003c/a> as a component of the U.S. budget has the potential to cut western aid to the developing world, thus threatening the reliability of American dollars for health measures whenever political leadership changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Carter’s guinea worm eradication project nears completion, other health-care issues around the world continue to pose major economic, biological, and ethical dilemmas for many developing nations.

From an initial 3.5 million cases to only 126 in 2014, the Carter Center has nearly succeeded in making guinea worm the second disease in human history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. However, Carter has been the only one pushing for the eradication of this disease. Organizations such as\u003ca href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\"> UNICEF\u003c/a> and the World Health Organization\u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/en/\"> (WHO)\u003c/a> have aided in approving measures, but have not monetarily contributed to the program. For decades, philanthropic health intervention has supported governments in areas struggling to cope with diseased populations. Global health initiatives have largely become reliant on a handful of well-wishers like Jimmy Carter because of how difficult it is for governments and international organizations alike to raise funds for humanitarian ventures. The weighing of economic burdens against health burdens has raised an important question: who should be fiscally responsible for maintaining the health of humanity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With campaigns such as the Carter Center’s guinea worm eradication plan and the\u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/\"> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s\u003c/a> tuberculosis incidence reduction program, efforts made by philanthropic organizations are playing a major role in solving the world’s health issues. By focusing on and devoting large sums of money to specific projects, these organizations have been effective in many respects. However, those who are responsible for deciding \u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/General-Information/Grant-Opportunities\">which health programs should receive funding\u003c/a> and which ones have to wait are faced with overwhelming ethical questions, and are often themselves unaffected by the health issues at hand. Moreover, philanthropic organizations operate out of their own good will. Because of this, it might not be feasible to rely on them to continue paying for the world’s health without an effective and reliable system in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_54854\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">[media-credit standalone=0 name=\"CDC\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-54854\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine-400x191.jpg\" alt=\"A Cambodian boy receives the measles vaccine.\" width=\"400\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine-400x191.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/12/Measles-vaccine.jpg 794w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>[/media-credit]\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Cambodian boy receives the measles vaccine.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>International humanitarian organizations, most notably WHO, work side-by-side with philanthropic organizations. WHO supports countries to improve health technologies, strengthen health information systems and assure that all people have access to health services at an affordable price. The\u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/health\"> World Bank\u003c/a>, a similar United Nations institution, provides policy advice to help countries expand access to affordable health care, protect people from poverty caused by illness and promote investments that support humanitarian advancement. Although these entities provide coordinating authority in health and set global agendas for achieving universal wellness, they are severely underfunded and often rely on private philanthropic organizations to initiate global health projects. This situation raises the question of whether or not international humanitarian organizations like WHO should receive more funding from Western nations. Even so, there are many concerns surrounding a single international organization having the power to set and police the global health agenda for the entire world. There are also ethical concerns regarding the potential for Western countries with greater monetary influence to manipulate an international organization into a surrogate for their own health ventures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Every nation desires a healthier population, but some countries cannot provide adequate health care to their citizens because of their limited resources and debilitated \u003ca href=\"http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/download/2114031e.pdf?expires=1442552129&id=id&accname=ocid177459&checksum=88174A18B5FF16C205A55D0F042E019B\">economies\u003c/a>. Consequently, when local governments have to direct more money to health, they contribute less to other public necessities like sanitation, education, and infrastructure. This makes \u003ca href=\"http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.EXTR.ZS\">aid from developed countries\u003c/a> the backbone of health-care sectors in developing countries. The United States, for example, has led successful efforts in combatting the AIDS virus on a global scale through a government-sponsored program known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.pepfar.gov/\">PEPFAR\u003c/a>. However, in the developed world, political controversy stems from the idea that local governments will eventually enjoy the benefits of a healthier population and should therefore handle their own health care regardless of limitations on resources. Additionally, \u003ca href=\"http://www.idea.int/resources/analysis/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=52020\">party polarization over foreign aid\u003c/a> as a component of the U.S. budget has the potential to cut western aid to the developing world, thus threatening the reliability of American dollars for health measures whenever political leadership changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Carter’s guinea worm eradication project nears completion, other health-care issues around the world continue to pose major economic, biological, and ethical dilemmas for many developing nations.
