Pretty positive to coffee, this one.

I'm sure the amount of coffee I drink probably not good I drink 15 to 20 cups a day plus good espresso. But I like it and even smelling it does me good
If caffeine is wrong, I don't want to be right...

I love the smell of coffee but not the taste so I don't drink it. Out of curiosity...would coffee and Ritalin be okay together.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
i used to love coffee. drank it during law school for all-nighters. many late nights at i-hop across from campus.
burned my stomach out. i can't drink it any more. at all.
but i have drunk diet coke since i was 13, and i can tell you true,
i don't have my caffeine in the morning, i am non-functional and not anyone you want to be around. period.
i am a horrible insomniac, tho, so i cut that off early in the afternoon.

I enjoy my coffee, but I have a hard time drinking what some other people call coffee. Sooner or later I'm going to splurge and order some Timmy's, even though the shipping costs as much as the coffee does. Go figure.
You should read up on the horrors of Aspertame and please don't ingest another molecule. It's the things they cleverly sidestep that'll kill you.Originally Posted by Childbride
Remember how long it took for people to finally get the denial beat out of them in regards to cigarette company deceptions.
Same deal!
If you want a cola drink... drink a real cola. If you want zero calories... try water.
Sorry for the short rant... some people I do care about!
Edit: Ask anyone NOT addicted to aspertame how foul a diet soda tastes... only people addicted to it can even tolerate the taste. Also, like cigarettes, they'll fight to protect their source of aspartyl-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester.
Sorry again... it's important.
I will bite on Rocket's post.....diet drinks taste.....foul. I drink mainly water at work and will indulge in a glass or 2 of warm tea at home.

Robert,
Go to this website and do a search on caffeine. Gary is well known and very well respected.

I'm at the point where it doesn't matter if coffee is bad, I'm hooked. I've been working at Starbucks for about a year and a half, and get a free pound of premium coffee every week. Too late to turn back now...
It's got six strings, right? What more do you need to know?

I have to agree with Rocket here. Except that all colas/sodas are bad for you. I had a Coca Cola addiction. I was up to 4-6 cans a day for the energy boost. I kicked the habit twice and it really sucked both times. I dropped about ten pounds after giving up cola/soda.
Now I only drink green tea or water. I never did like diet soda, the aspertame gave me bad headaches.

Tung.....4-6 is nothing compared to when I was addicted to soft drinks....it was nothing for me to drink 12 Mountain Dews in a day. It was no wonder I developed severe sleep issues.

I worked with a guy that did the same thing and added sticky buns to eat with his Dew. You could watch his hands shake because he was so wired. I think he would sleep 3 to 4 hours a night.Originally Posted by Kazz
He changed jobs (he had worked at the rat hole I just left) and changed diet. Sleeps like a baby and doesn't have the hand tremors.

I'm a big coffee drinker too, and if you have reflux like I do, too much can make for a miserable day.
Coffee does have some benefits when taken in moderation.
However, coffee (caffeine and other stimulants) do tend to constrict the blood vessels as well as lower body temperature. Too much coffee of course contributes to tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, and acute gastrointestinal distress.
Decaf coffee makes no sense to me though...it's kind of like drinking non-alcoholic beer. I need my coffee in the morning for sure.
