LDS lies-
In 2012, TMC (lied) [again] saying (I paraphrase, because they changed the wording again - including changing the website from lds.org to Jesus Christ... - never even announcing any of these facts, changes, or truths to the members themselves) CAFFEINE never was against the WOW ('word of wickedness').
"It is claimed that "most Mormons" feel that coffee and tea are prohibited because they contain caffeine. However, it is irrelevant what "most Mormons" claim as their reason for avoiding coffee and tea. The Word of Wisdom itself gives no indication of the reasons these substances are to be avoided—it only states that they should be. While avoiding caffeine is a legitimate reason for avoiding coffee and tea, it is not the only reason nor is it necessarily the reason the Lord had in mind in giving the revelation.
A study printed in the International Journal of Cancer recently reported these startling findings: Drinking very hot beverages appears to raise the risk of esophageal cancer by as much as four times. The researchers analyzed results from five studies involving nearly three thousand people. The study found that hot beverages did increase the cancer risk. The study provided evidence of a link between esophageal cancer induced by the consumption of very hot drinks.[8] Another report by Swiss researchers found that a component in coffee (chlorogenic acid) actually destroyed much of the body's thiamin after one quart of coffee was consumed in three hours.[9] Other reported effects of drinking coffee are more controversial and have yet to be firmly proven.[10] At any rate, it is clear that just because "most Mormons" avoid coffee and tea due to concerns about caffeine, the presence of the stimulant is not the only reason the Lord may have invoked a prohibition against these substances."

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/word-of-wisdom?lang=engSO... Caffeine isn't a problem; it's "hot drinks", EXCEPT Postum, HOT chocolate, or herbal tea.
Hot, in those days, meant SPIRITS, not hot caffeinated and cold caffeinated beverages.
