Hate the smell and taste of coffee. A nice cup a tea several times a day is fine.

I don't drink coffee at all, not for years. Every time I took a cup I got a real burning pain, but I'm a 'tea jenny' Can't think without a cup in my hand.

[saxovtr]

i dont drink coffee unless im offered a cuppa which isnt often as i avoid the stuff!

[moonshadow]

i love my coffee and will drink alot if i didnt watch my caffeine intake. i like to keep my coffee excess down by drinking herbal teas and fruit juices also. i used to drink ap to 4 or 5 pints of coffee a day.

[jemmima-june]

It takes a cup of coffee to make me civil in the morning without that one cup i am my own worst enemy and to be avoided at all costs lol

[Ricco]

Sadly, I can only have about 4 cups a week. I found that I was getting extra-systolic beats because of the caffeine. Mind you - I can drink as much tea as I like without an extra beat. Different caffeine? :eek:

[danc1ngwitch]

Yeuk hate the stuff, it smells, normally manage at least one cup of tea a day but not always, but have a pint glass of water at my side at all times, drink gallons of the stuff

[JAWS]

Where do they get these ideas? Coffee at 4pm will still be in your system the following day.
I wonder what the cumulative effect is? I must average around a cup an hour every day.
At that rate I would think there would be enough to stay in my system for the next 30 years.
Ah well, time to top up with another one! I love "scare stories" they can keep me giggling for weeks.

I'm still waiting to die from mercury poisoning from all the Tuna Fish I was warned not to eat 50 years ago.
So far, so good, but I'll make no comment about mercury and brain damage, thank you very much!

Coffee has been shown to leech calcium from your body - so if you drink several cups a day, do you suffer from aching joints? You might scoff(ee) at this theory but I worked with a heavy coffee drinker and when I told him this he cut out coffee and reduced his daily caffeine intake and reported the reduction in his aches and pains fairly quickly.
Maybe it was the reduction in trips to the tearoom that helped....

I used to love a coffee.
Until it dawned on me that it was the cause of my constant headaches and my migraines were getting worse (having a stoater every couple of weeks). It was like I was becoming super-sensitive to it (even de-caff - I'll come back to that!).

Anyway, gave it up and to my joy and delight have not had a migraine in a year and the persistant dull headache (which I used to wake up with every morning) is also a thing of the past - I feel so much fresher and clear-headed without it!
Am also gutted - especially taking in the smell whilst walking past a coffee shop (I feel like an ex-smoker - sucking in the fumes! heh heh).

Back to the de-caf. I heard a radio prog about coffee and all the other nasty stuff that's in it besides the caffeine. It also said that because the de-caffeination process tended to strip the coffee of taste they end up using wicked strong tasting beans so that there is a decent taste left. Stronger in other things too maybe? hmmm

This left me with the conclusion that I am sensitive to something else in the coffee, not the caffeine, because I can take tea etc.
I also know of at least 4 people whose heart complaints have improved by giving up coffee - it makes you think dunnit?

So, if you've got a regular thumping head or a fluttery ticker it might be worth while experimenting and trying a fortnight without to see if it makes any difference!
