News summary

As the autumn season approaches, major coffee chains are reintroducing their beloved pumpkin spice offerings. Starbucks has already launched its fall menu, featuring the iconic pumpkin spice latte, while Dunkin' has announced the return of its pumpkin-flavored items, including the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte and the Apple Cider Donut. However, health experts are cautioning against consuming these sugary caffeinated drinks too early in the morning, suggesting that waiting at least an hour after waking could enhance the effects of caffeine and mitigate stress levels. Rex Isap, a sleep expert, explains that cortisol levels are highest upon waking, and having caffeine during this time may hinder its benefits and lead to increased tolerance. Additionally, the pumpkin spice latte has evolved into a cultural phenomenon over the last 21 years, symbolizing not just autumn but various cultural identities. The popularity of these drinks reflects a significant trend in consumer behavior surrounding seasonal flavors.
