I don't like coffee. I had it one time too much and I had a huge headache. It totally turned me off from ever drinking coffee. lol

Caffeine, I heard in the latest research that was done in Japan, prevents kidney cancer.

thats funny, i heard just the opposite. Decaf coffee prevents some type of cancer, but caffienated coffee seems to cancel out the effect.

Caffiene is a stressor. It activates your.. err.. stress system, keeping you awake and active, and making you more vulnerable to stress.


I still drink way too much of the junk :eek:

I know someone who was rather indulgent in the latter 70s and 80s that swears that good coffee is like legal speed (and therefore better).

Good heavens I hope not. :p

I'm starting a new job soon and I'll be in every morning at 4 am. Bought a new 1 litre Thermos to being with me. With my extra-strong coffee it should last me to about noon each day. I hope.

As you reduce your coffee intake, replace it with hot green tea instead. Green tea is good for you, but also has ceffeine in it.

it's definetely bad for you. whether you're willing to accept the negatives to get the benefits is up to you, just like any other drug out there.

..when you factor out all the boozers and smoke inhalers and look at just coffee/tea drinkers your left with many health benefits.
