ABSTRACT
Background: Caffeine is a natural alkaloid, competitive antagonist of adenosine
receptors. The caffeine content depends on the type of product, environmental factors,
planting and harvesting.
Objective: Review the impact of caffeine and its dietary products on the health of
their consumers.
Methodology: A literature search was carried out in the databases PubMed, Science
Direct, LILACS, EMBASE and Google Scholar, among others.
Results: A total of 59 articles were selected, most of which had not been published for
more than 5 years. High caffeine consumption is related to addictive behaviors and even
reinforces the persistence of smoking and its abrupt interruption can generate abstinence
syndrome. At high doses, caffeine generates a positive inotropic and chronotropic effect,
which explains the increase in heart rate and conductivity, generating greater and more
frequent myocardial contractions, which can lead arrhythmias. Caffeine increases the
secretion of gastrointestinal peptides such as gastric inhibitory polypeptide and decreases
the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1. A high relationship has been found between
moderate caffeine consumption and the incidence of miscarriage.
Conclusions: Caffeine is a natural substance found in different commercial products
that are highly consumed by human beings in their daily lives. It has wide effects
on systems such as the cardiovascular, nervous system, endocrinological and also has
implications during pregnancy.
