This is so interesting. It sounds like what was being referred to in the 60s 
in this context:  There was a scare campaign in 1967 or  a bit later that LSD 
made your chromosomes "come apart." That sounded really dangerous to people. 
Some people started worrying about having mutant babies. 

Then, scientists pointed out that it happens anyway, without LSD, and 
actually caffeine caused it a lot more than LSD. 

This is just what I remember reading about, and I might be wrong. I never 
heard anything about mutant babies actually being born because of either LSD or 
caffeine. Except for that "dancing baby" on the computer ... that thing is a 
mutant alien from hell!
