Do you really know what's in your morning cup of coffee? In this episode of Right Turn Radio, hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann sit down with Murray Carpenter, the author of 'Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us.' Carpenter pulls back the curtain on caffeine, the addictive substance found in everything from coffee to pain relievers.

From the sneaky ways caffeine is delivered to the body to its role in promoting health issues like obesity and anxiety, this episode covers it all.
