Coffee Can Increase Hallucinations

Coffee Can Increase Hallucinations

sister claimed to have seen ghosts or heard a foreign voice. Ask if he's addicted to coffee or not.
According to research in the UK, people tend to drink too much coffee suffered hallucinatory effects.
The team of researchers from the University of Dunham concluded, people who drank more than seven cups of instant coffee a day tend to be three times as much experience hallucinations. This was compared with people who only drink a cup of coffee every day.

The conclusion was made after they surveyed 200 students over coffee consumption habits and experiences, seeing things mystical. "This is the first step study the factors associated with hallucinations, more broadly," said Simon Jones, a psychologist who chaired the research team.
He said, from earlier studies, it is known that the pressure-for example, childhood trauma-related hallucinations. In fact, coffee was the trigger.
The relationship between coffee and hallucinations allegedly associated with the hormone cortisol. Hallucinations occur when the body produces too much hormone cortisol. Hormones are produced when someone with stress. Consumption of caffeine also trigger the production of these hormones.

However, Jones stresses, the relationship is not causal relationships. Even if caffeine triggers hallucinations, the effect is not for any other psychological factors. Not only the effect of coffee. Also tea, chocolate and other energy drinks that contain high levels of caffeine.
