Do you start your day with a cup of coffee or tea? If so, you’re among the majority of Americans who rely on caffeine to kickstart their mornings. According to the National Coffee Association, 60% of Americans consume coffee daily, making it the most popular beverage in the country. Additionally, 85% of people in the U.S. consume at least one caffeinated beverage per day, as reported by the National Institutes of Health.
