i love to read whatever stuff is on the net (sometimes LOL) and as i look on my mail in yahoo this news grab my attention [b]No higher death risk in long-term coffee drinking. [/b] here is the link about that news. http://health.yahoo.com/news/reuters/coffee_health_dc.html i love coffee a lot and my morning is not complete if i dont have a cup of it. i would like to drink more than a cup but if i do i will not be able to sleep or i will have an upset tummy. i find it strange coz every time i drink a dark one (strong blend) i will have hit flushes and makes me feel a bit drunk, i know i know it is really strange but my body always have a strange reaction when it comes to stuff that i take to my body that is why i try my best not to take more than just one cup LOL... anyway, it is nice to know that the new studies show that coffee helps our health and hopefully it will bring more benefit for all of us. i know there are so many coffee drinkers and addicts out here LOL that is why there are so many variations of coffee,,, ask starbucks haha. do you like to drink coffee? how many cups in a day? talk to you later... takecare

I actually heard this on the news last night that coffee is now considered good for you...and that the MORE coffee one drinks the better, and that it seems the make-up of coffee's ingredients actually balances the caffeine that is in it...still. Like you I only have one cup of coffee when I wake up...do need that caffeine fix..LOL...but also like you if I drank anymore than just one cup it would keep me awake--mmmm..perhaps drink decaffeinated the rest of the time????

I guess one could still get the benefits of coffee without the caffeine if one drinks decaf....no never really got into drinking it though since I always buy the regular kind...but might not be a bad idea to get it. One thing I used to love years ago, was Iced Coffee in the summer months..so maybe a great thing to have now that it's warmer but the decaf version

that is what i am told regarding decaf but i dont seem to buy that idea as i still have the same effect. hmmmm, talking about ice coffee i love that,,, now i am wanting one, it's been years since the last time i really have an iced "black" coffee coz i always have the iced mocha but your idea seems to land on my taste buds now LOL i may try to buy the decaf version and see if a different brand will be a different effect. thanks for the info. takecare

hello vanities, yeah we're the same, i am acidic too that leads me to having an ulcer so i cannot drink soda and just allowed to have 2 cups of brewed coffee the most or i will be in pain in the end. yea, some are lucky to drink whatever they want anytime they want it - too bad we belong to the not so lucky one, oh well! thanks for sharing. have a great night!

hello chej18, great to see you! wow! you sure is a coffee addict back then i thought it was my sister who is crazy about it coz she drinks at least 4 cups of DARK coffee every day but you blow her away LOL you must be very hyper then haha. my sister dont have problems with her sleep in fact it helps her to fall asleep at night that is why she loves to have a cup of it before bed, lucky girl ei? at least you are not drinking that much now, too much is not good but i guess in coffee case it is ok even if it is more than 4 cups a day haha. thanks for being here. good night!
