If you ask 10 Mormons this questions you will get half saying yes and half saying no and all of them having different reasons.
Being addicted to any substance is against the word of wisdom. It violates your body and removes your free will. Caffeine is not specifically named as a forbidden substance, but if you need it to function then you are addicted.
Many people, including a large number of Mormons, consider caffeine as a banned substance for Mormons for a few reasons, some of which include:
- It is addictive so you shouldn't be having any of it
- Coffee and Tea are disallowed, and they think it is because of the caffeine( which isnt why really, since we can't drink decaf)
