I agree with this fact check! but I think you could've included more information about the key details of the article to help signify your fact check. But I do like how you mentioned the .org part of the article and made sure you found a reliable source. Overall, good source but I would include more information next time!

i somewhat agree with this article, i think that if someone relies on caffeine or has to much of it can lead to many negative effects such as brain fog or fatigue. But there is not much evidence or data in this article that proves that just celsius leads to the effects.

the claim is false. Celsius contains caffeine, like other energy drinks, but all energy drinks can have the same affect if there is overconsumption  and drinking them before sleep. It doesn’t focus only on Celsius with the potential of causing brain fog.

I agree with this claim. I think if you added more sources and explained the evidence why it leads to brain fog that would help a lot. If this source was more credible as well it could definitely help your claim.

The article discusses a correlation between caffeine and brain fog, however, the source itself doesn't seem to define a solid cause and effect between caffeine and brain fog. This claim could definitely use some more sources and further digging into to be confirmed credible.

The article shows how caffeine can affect the brain, having a direct impact on brain fog. The article cites Vail Health, which suggests that brain fog is caused by poor sleep or fluctuation in blood sugar. Caffeine can impact sleep, but it's not the sole cause of brain fog, as other factors can also affect brain function. The original article was written by a professor from the University of Maryland, and it was reviewed by a registered dietitian. Both individuals are highly qualified, which makes the article more credible. The sources that are cited, Vail Health and Cleveland Clinic, are well-respected organizations. While caffeine might not directly cause brain fog, it can cause dehydration and bad sleep, which do cause brain fog. Not all brain fog is linked to caffeine; consumption can increase the chances of experiencing brain fog due to its non-direct effects. So I would say this fact check is true.

Even though caffeine in the long term can give you more brain fog, according to this article the benefits of cognitive caffeine benefits outweigh the negatives and the article says that caffeine makes you sharper and smarter if you have healthy doses in moderation. But the article says if you abuse caffeine and stay up super late that causes brain fog not caffeine alone. I feel like this article is true because sleep is very important for mental health and cognitive function and if you're not sleeping right that causes brain fog instead of caffeine by itself.
