a riddle

It's the #1 most searched word by yahoo users.
It's central to today's New York Time's article.
It's brown and white and ingested all over.
What is it?

As I finish my Diet Coke, I search the internet for breaking news stories, mainly sports, and there, I uncover my next post. "Caffine Probably Tied to Miscarriages." This article, like most on caffeine, caught my attention. With the empty can on my desk as a constant reminder that it isn't even 30 minutes into my day and already I've fed my caffeine addiction, I continue reading the article. I'll claim I need it "to study" but I'm not sure how much longer I can exhaust this excuse. And, the irony here is that while I'm not expecting, I have, recently, heard news.

Anyway, after reading this article by Denise Grady, I was more confused. Completing a few social research classes in my college career, I felt the study was flawed. Thus, I decided this shouldn't be a post topic at all. I began looking for other stories. I decided to search the anti-google, yahoo. And now, coming full circle, the riddle:
