@taraschmidt , Thanks for article,

How does caffeine effect hydration? I love my caffeinated coffee in morning to get going. In effort to cut down on caffeine I mix half caffeinated with half de-caf.

Are there other food / beverages that effect hydration.

I add Liquid IV to my water bottle to help with hydration. There are other brands that are similar, but I find Liquid IV works for me. My preference for taste is to use 1/2 packet per water bottle.

Hi Laurie! Sorry, I was out of the office. Great question! Generally speaking, reasonable amounts of caffeine will not have a negative impact on hydration status. All fluids, including those with caffeine and from those in high water content foods like fruits and veggies all contribute to your hydration status.
