Is coffee bad for you?

[Spudman***]

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.

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.

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.

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'm a 5 to 8 bottles a day person. I use it to break free or at least curtail the Pepsi addiction.

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...

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.
