Wallace, consumer affairs officer for the Food and Drug Administration in Dallas. “We’d rather see students rest.” Caffeine, the active ingredient in coffee, “has a tendency to mask fatigue” rather than to stimulate the senses, she said. “This naturally can bring on dangerous kinds of conse quences.” Ingesting large amounts of caf feine can result in chronic indiges tion, anxiety, and nervousness, said Dr. Jay Wilfred Martin Jr., of Bryan. This is especially the case with Super Scoop 317 Patricia HOT FUDGE SUNDAE 85c (Behind Loupots & the Dixie Chicken) people who are “chronically jazzed- up anyway. ” He said some jobs and living conditions keep people “chronically jazzed-up.” People with high blood pressure or glaucoma, an eye disease, should “completely avoid it (caffeine) if pos sible, said Dick Roberts, pharma cist for Eckerd Drugs at Manor East Mall in Bryan. He referred to the warning labels attached to all prod ucts containing caffeine. Everything will be fine “as long as the consumer reads the label and adheres to the directions,” Wallace said. She added that not many people read the warning labels on drugs and that she is surprised when she meets someone who does. She said the use of all drugs should be restricted. “People with heart problems run a higher risk of heart attack if they drink coffee. Dr. Martin said. “If they have a heart attack, that’s it, no more coffee. Martin explained that caffeine in duces an increased heart rate. This increased heart rate puts an extra strain on the heart which is espe cially bad for heart patients. Patients who haven t suffered an attack can usually drink a cup of coffee in the morning with no ill effects, but this depends on the person, he said. Martin, Wallace and Roberts said they know of no stimulant which substitutes for caffeine. “We rec ommend rest,” Wallace said, refer ring to the FDA.
