This is complete junk science IMHO.
Where are the randomized trials? Just because you can find some user of nicotine + caffeine who happens to have holes in his or her brain does not mean that these drugs caused the damage.
I have never seen a single study that links say pure caffeine exposure to this kind of damage.
In fact, regular coffee drinkers have a lower risk of Parkinson's AND Alzheimer's disease. This has been established in very large studies. This is simply not congruent with those kinds of images!Linkadge
