Resident Mormon and BYU grad here!

So, here's the deal. Caffeine was never forbidden. You just had a bunch of overzealous members decided that the reason coffee was forbidden must have been the caffeine and then there was a weird cultural thing around drinking caffeinated soda. It's never been forbidden at BYU, just not sold on campus to avoid having to deal with complaints from the crazier members.

Things that are against the rules:
1) Coffee
2) Tea
3) Any form of alcohol
4) Illegal drugs unless they are prescribed by a doctor. (Lots of members in favor of legalized marijuana to be used as anti-anxiety medication)
