What Does Caffeine Do?

Caffeine does not actually give us energy. It just makes our body numb to energy or the lack of energy, right?

Insulin is anabolic; it builds things like cellular machinery. If you play games like RTS based on insulin, your strategy will turn away from building up sugars into glucose that can't be used for activity.
