coffee, is it bad for you?

<< < (2/5) > >>

strapping young lad:
coffee dehydrates your body and as such is not a good thing.

regarding being unable to get used to the taste, i would probably guess youve tasted cr*p coffee!

MASSIVE difference between instant and filter, and between black and white (even though obvious the actual flavour of the coffee is different too)

also worth trying sweetex instead of sugar as i find sweetex sweeter than sugar.

i also prefer earl gray black too

gtomo2:
cant stand "tea" as it makes me sick so all i drink is coffee even have a coffee perquator in my truck

drmike:
I believe your body gets dependent on caffeine and hence when you reduce your intake as much as you did you do indeed suffer withdrawal symptoms.

Certainly when I gave up entirely I got a terrible stiff neck that was cured by half a cup of coffee after a aweek of pain. I now have two cups a day and I'm fine. I dare say I could give it up entirely.

I heard a radio program that said caffeine was one of the few drugs we take in that has absolutley no good points at all - just none at all.

If you want to give up coffee do it gradually and you should be OK. The radio program suggested that it was a good idea to give up caffeine but who knows? They say one thing one week and something else the next.

I like Turkish coffee and took some time to learn how to make it but I gave it up when I thought about how strong it is.

edy:
i do quite like a good cup of coffee, everything is bad for you now  :roll:  so it does not matter anyway,may as well enjoy the coffee while you can  :D

Thrasher:
I did the same, got the same - wait until the muscle pain etc. You'll get over it - then avoid obvious caffiene, i.e. coke, diet coke, red bull, sprite, tea etc etc. Otherwise HEADACHES.

Been nearly a year now.
