Good read, thanks.

Of course MY brain doesn't even function til I'm on my second cup so it's hardly an option to give it up.

So I gave up caffeine a couple years ago as an experiment to see if I'd sleep better and I don't think that it does. I don't feel any more or less tired and my routine has stayed pretty consistent. Not saying I'm going back because nuts and water have replaced my mid afternoon cup of coffee.

By comparison, giving up alcohol for the past couple weeks has had a huge impact in sleep pattern.

If I had a dime for every time I heard about "a study" on the retard news about coffee being good and bad for you (they flip flop it every other study), I wouldn't be posting this reply from work. I'd be sitting in front of a pile of coke in my mansion like Tony Montana, Mang!

I only have one cup a day. It's a Pittsburgh Pirates Souvenir cup & holds a half a pot, but it's only ONE cup!

I have not seen any recent studies finding coffee a net negative to health, and of course the news as a source for studies of any kind is fail, so per usual, so there's that too...

Study it hard and long enough and literally anything can be determined to be bad for you.

Some government officials probably funded this study and shorted coffee futures.

Live your lives is my advice. Busses kill as well.
