      That’s a good question.

      I don’t know if the molecule is destroyed or transformed.

      But I use so little that it wouldn’t affect anybody anyways… I don’t even think a child who is naive to the molecule would feel a thing

      Edit… My curiosity got the best of me, I wasn’t able to Google the answer directly, but I found articles asking if reheating coffee destroys the molecule. Apparently an organic chemist got involved and stated that the molecules pretty stable, it will only break down around 350 F. So that would mean most of my food probably has the full effect of whatever caffeine was there.

      I accidentally poisoned a love interest when I made her lasagna with espresso in the sauce. Turned out she was allergic to coffee, not caffeine. I didn’t know… but whoops a daisy lol
