SEATTLE, WA, February 14, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Connecticut became the first state to declare its support of National Caffeine Awareness Month , an annual initiative designed to encourage local communities to focus on caffeine dependence and caffeine-related issues. Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell recently issued an official statement proclaiming March 2010 as National Caffeine Awareness Month in the State of Connecticut. All 50 governors have received the request to support the educational effort by signing a similar proclamation, the text of which can be found on the campaign's official Facebook fan page, NoCaf4Me. Local municipalities across the country are invited to follow Connecticut's lead.
Launched in 2002 by the Caffeine Awareness Alliance, the campaign calls attention to the risks associated with caffeinism and caffeine withdrawal syndrome, a disorder recognized by the psychiatric community. The CAA has established a Web site at http://www.caffeineawareness.org where visitors can use an online calculator to determine their daily caffeine consumption, take on online quiz designed to test their knowledge of caffeine and view videos and download educational materials.
CAA founder Marina Kushner has authored two books on the subject, with a third soon to be released. The Truth About Coffee and The Truth About Caffeine are exposes on the ubiquitous drug found in beverages, foods and medicines. Scheduled for release in the spring of 2010, Confessions of a Caffeine Addict is a collection of 40 real-life stories from people who have kicked the habit of caffeine addiction.
