[net.med] Caffeine and Theobromine

Interestingly, the press recently reported on a medical study that indicated
that strong coffee was as effective as theophylline in relaxing the bronchial
spasms of asthma victims, so perhaps caffeine has been overlooked a bit
over the years.  It's certainly worth checking out with your doctor.

Maybe this is where the coffee industry gets support for the
"It picks you up, and calms you down" statement they've been
using in their commercials.
