I have recenty heard that caffine is related to obesity, and the relativly 
slower metabolism in over wieght people. I have also heard that it is 
directly linked to how much glycogen our bodies convert into fat. Although 
the source of my information was confident, I was unable to get any 
suitable reference for this info., and would appreciate any you could give.
