In a recent article by Veronique Greenword entitled "why bacteria, not humans, can live on caffine." Greenwood informs her readers on two topics: 1) why we cannot live on caffine 2) how we possibley could.
Humans cannot live on caffine because our stomachs do not have the correct bacteria to digest it. Therefore it simpley passes through the digestive tract unscathed. Yet the new found bacteria can digest it, and yes, does live on caffine, giving them energy as we would get from regular food.
Some scientist believe that we may not have the desired bacteria in our guts, yet our body may still posses it making it semi possible of us becoming caffine digestors. Although scientist believe it possible since it has not yet happened it will be left at little more then a hypothesis.
Although it may be possible to digest caffine, since we can't lets just go on eating so we can survive.
