Querie

does cocoa acually have caffine? and is it harm ful?Oxinabox1 11:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cacao has more theobromine (a related chemical) than caffeine, but yes, it does have caffeine too. It's pretty far down on the list of the most harmful things, at least when taken in moderation. —Keenan Pepper 04:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Theacrine?

These Portuguese guys say Cupuaçu contains 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid (which other sources say is called theacrine) instead of caffeine. The question is whether theacrine is more or less healthy than caffeine. Anyone? —Keenan Pepper 05:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
