Connections: Our Coffee Addiction

It's America's favorite addiction: caffeine, and coffee. We chat with Murray Carpenter, author of the new book Caffeinated. He traveled the world in search of caffeine sources to find out exactly how much caffeine is in our coffee, our chocolate, and why it's so lightly regulated (This is not an attack on coffee -- he remains an addict!).

Later on, we broaden the conversation with two studio guests: Kathy Turiano from Joe Bean Coffee Roasters and Sarah Guilbert, registered dietician for UR Medicine.

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
