Caffeine (and uric acid) improve intellegence and brain stimulus
-
The studies are on uric acid, but I present both caffeine and uric acid to show how similar they are. Both are purine cortical stimulants. Men with higher uric acid have both higher intelligence scores and even more income. Uric acid acts as a safe brain stimulant and antioxidant, similar to caffeine.

Nice to know.
My uric acid is always high, but I let it stay high as it doesn't bother me and it is an underappreciated part of the body's primary antioxidant system.
My body must need it as my kidneys do not allow much of it to be excreted as I excrete much less of it than reference range The body seems to know I need to deal with a high level of oxidative stress and uric acid being high provides me with a high level of protection.
Since I keep close tabs on maintaining good acid base balance,the uric acid does not precipitate on my joints and I don't have any arthritic pain nor gout.
