Can't speak on the list as a whole but the "the body enters fight or flight mode for 3 consecutive weeks after one cup of coffee" sounds like total bullshit to me. Isn't fight or flight for external threats? Why would your body even have the capacity to enter that state against internal threats when physical confrontation or fleeing are both impossible options?
I can't tolerate much caffeine; it gives me palpitations and I feel ill. So I drink mostly decaf coffee. Strangely, I drink a boat load of cacao (pure cocoa) and it rarely gives me palpitations.

Caffeine increases cortisol, the "fight or flight" hormone.
I didn't read the article, but obviously we shouldn't be addicted to drugs like caffeine.
i think fight or flight is mostly related to adrenaline release.
