Coffee, colas more dangerous than realized

This is a book review of "Caffeine Blues" - I am assuming it should go in Misc because it is not a book related to Orthodoxy. At the end of this article, there are illustrations which would not show up here. They show a spider making distorted webs under the influence of various elements. ...
