Not only does it make you smarter and more physically adept, but caffeine’s also the key to curing headaches!<\/a><\/p>\n

They found that 58 per cent of those who took either caffeine or ibuprofen alone reported complete pain relief from a headache – and the caffeine-takers typically experienced relief about half an hour faster. The caffeine dose was equivalent to that in a large mug of coffee, says Seymour Diamond, who led the study.
\n[…]After 90 minutes, pain began to recur in the caffeine-only group. However, drinking a second cup of coffee could probably prolong the analgesia, Diamond says.<\/p>\n

This is, of course, old news to the makers of pain relievers laced with caffeine (Excedrin, I believe, is this way), but now we have Science to stand behind such claims.<\/p>\n

None of this explains, of course, the frequent headaches I get at the office, even though I heavily self-medicate with coffee. But that’s just another mystery for Science to figure out.<\/p>\n
