Is Caffeine linked to low back pain?
Caffeine actually improves back and other types of pain, and is a reason it's used in a variety of prescription and OTC pain meds. Caffeine stimulates the cardiovascular system, helping to open up the blood vessels. Most opiate painkillers are vasodilators (they open blood vessels) so caffeine works along the same lines, though it doesn't have the mind altering effects of opiates.
Increasing blood flow helps oxygenate and heat the area of pain. This is why you use ice to reduce swelling, and heat to help heal an injury as well.
However, everyone is different, and not everyone handles caffeine in the same way. Caffeine also stimulates kidney and bladder function, so if there's pain in the low back it could be related to a problem in those areas rather than the spine itself.
Does caffeine affect arthritis?
I believe that it does if you take into account the heavy diuretic quality of caffeine. As with any physiological problem, dehydration definitely won't help in the least.Drinking 2-3 liters of filtered water (not bottled) a day and returning the body to a balanced PH level (7.5-7.8) is the best course of action. It would also be good to pay a lot of attention to your circulatory and respiratory systems health in that they will floor your immune system and your body's natural healing ability. One product on the market is getting an interesting amount of positive reviews that I'd look into, it's called Super Cissus Rx. That's all I have, best wishes.
Can caffeine cause vitamin d deficiency?
Caffeine has been shown to negatively affect the efficiency in which the body metabolizes Vitamin D. While the caffeine does not actually deplete the body's store of vitamin D the presence of caffeine will slightly deplete the amount of vitamin D the body is able to metabolize. Since vitamin D is a component necessary to metabolize calcium, regular overdose on caffeine can be very detrimental to your bones' health this is especially true for women over the age of 50 who are at a higher risk to develop osteoporosis. In addition a vitamin D deficit can be a contributing factor to depression. Caffeine should be avoided. Most people drink coffee when they wake up and mid-afternoon. The reason most people are so tired in the morning is that they are simply dehydrated. If you find yourself being lethargic in the afternoon you are probably dehydrated and relying solely on carbohydrates for energy. Exercise, a balanced diet, enough sleep and drinking 64 ounces of water a day will ensure a healthy, alert, vibrant body.

Caffeine occurs naturally in a number of plants. The most well-known of these are tea, coffee, and the cocoa plant. Coffee and tea contain more caffeine than the cocoa plant, which just contains small amounts.
There are other plants, however, which naturally contain caffeine. These include yerba mate, guayusa, and yaupon, which are all species of holly. A few other species of holly also contain some caffeine. Another unrelated plant (related to maple trees actually), called guarana, contains caffeine.
There may be others but these are the only plants that I know of that contain caffeine.

Is there caffeine in Rooibos tea?
I drink raspberry tea that I bought for my daughter who is pregnant. It tastes great, and I certainly did not notice any caffeine from drinking it. It's highly recommended for pregnant women so I don't think it would have much caffeine. I looked on a website that usually has all foods listed, but I didn't find raspberry tea. Still, it's a cool link. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/index.html I bought my tea online from the bulkherbstore: http://www.bulkherbstore.com/RRLC

Caffeine is a natural chemical found in some plants like coffee and tea. It doesn't "get into" them at all - it comes from them. The plants manufacture the chemical as part of their natural growth. It was originally part of the plant's defense, because it makes you feel wired and jittery and most animals don't like that feeling - but humans do so they started growing the plants just to make coffee and tea out of them!
