Caffeine shows slight improvement in asthma symptoms, in contrast to a previously published by "NoCaf4Me". Try looking in medical research for medical answers. The info previously published is from a commercial site selling soy based coffee. Caffeine is not unhealthy in small amounts.

It would take from 500 to 5000 cups of coffee at once to cause toxicity. You are not getting facts at your source, it states no medical sources. Caffeine in moderation is in no way unhealthy or dangerous.
