>A novel placebo-controlled study has found daily caffeine consumption can significantly reduce the volume of gray matter in the human brain. These findings do not immediately suggest caffeine negatively impacts the brain but instead points to how the drug may induce a temporary neural plasticity that researchers think warrants further investigation. Our brain and central nervous system is generally composed of both gray and white matter. Gray matter consists of neural cell bodies and nerve synapses, while white matter is primarily the bundles and pathways that connect those neural cells.

I'm on day 2 of fasting and just chugging coffee

Nice, how long are you planning to fast? I'm a big fan, daily intermittent fasting and the occasional 2-3 day fast when I feel like I need to reset my bowels. Great way to start a low carb diet too.

The coffee thing though, that's what got me through, I need flavor, plain water sucks. If it really does impact the brain, I'll need to find a good decaf dark roast.

But, TBH, I've been drinking coffee all day every day for 20+ years and I'm easily the smartest person in most rooms I enter. So if there's an effect, it might be very minimal.

Well I quit drinking again a couple weeks ago, and it seemed like my body was still craving all those beer calories it wasn't getting anymore, because I was eating way too much, so I ate a bunch of raisin bran before I started fasting, and that cleared me out pretty good. I'll try to keep going another day and see how I'm feeling then.

The coffee has been a big help for sure. I don't feel like I'm getting any dumber from it, but I'm sure there are some people that would say it's impossible.
