Title: coffee
Post by: pauls on 11 January 2014, 10:51:31: I drink a lot of coffee durring the day mainly because i dont like water or tea. My question is is it the coffee or the caffine that is bad for you.

Post by: Varche on 11 January 2014, 10:55:28: I do the same.

Medical opinion has always been that too much caffeine is bad for you but in small amounts is good for you. You could try alternating with decaffeinated coffee. It is what I do. You could also try water with a dash of lime or similar.

Post by: Rods2 on 11 January 2014, 12:28:09: I drink loads of decaf where I have a low tolerance of caffeine. Decaf is not caffeine free, just much, much lower than normal coffee. From what I have read there are about 1000 different chemicals in coffee, but the overall effect is beneficial, and although tea has a different set of chemicals again the overall effect again is beneficial.

Post by: Omega Cars on 11 January 2014, 13:12:43: There is also more caffeine in tea than in coffee ::)

If you drink alot of strong coffee with milk/sugar, then perhaps try slightly weaker black coffee, with less/no sugar... :-\

Interesting. I always wondered why we're programmed to enjoy processed sugary and fatty foods, over natural meet fruit and veg.
