Researching Coffee

The most interesting point that I have learned about coffee is that when an addicted coffee consumer thinks there is no effect when drinking coffee, it is just that the body’s adrenal glands are exhausted that they have burned out. To me, that is a scary thought especially since I have felt that way before. I chose this piece of information to share because many consumers have felt “immune” to the coffee’s caffeine, but do not understand what the cause is and how damaging it is to the body.

This fact about coffee is helpful for my essay because it relates to coffee and the health hazards that come with it. I found this piece of information while browsing “coffee addiction” on Google. The site on which this information was located, NaturalNews.com, was not the first site listed. The first two sites did not give me much useful information. The third title on Google caught my attention: “The Hidden Dangers of Caffeine: How Coffee causes exhaustion…” Fortunately I had some luck with the third site, which did give me interesting information.

I know I can improve my researching skills by searching in more academic search engines, such as ones on the University of California, Irvine website. Finding information was frustrating because health hazards of coffee are still in the process of research and researchers are discovering new information daily, whether it agrees with current thoughts or proves ideas to be false. Therefore searching for data and statistics will be helpful in my essay. Another improvement I can invest in is to be more specific in my search terms, which will give me more sites related to my terms. As I casually browse the web I find new techniques to research for my essay.
