So I just read it is a toxin, found in many foods as it can withstand processing. It does affect the kidneys and other organs but I cannot find it is the direct cause for dehydration. FYI.

IDK about this 'toxin' but I do know that caffeine is considered a diuretic.
Now I am curious about this. (I don't drink coffee, BTW, but I do drink quite a bit of tea.)
