You need to take it easy. We live in a world full of the unnatural and l don’t think splitting hairs over every little thing is going to make you happier, live longer or improve your quality of life.

Other research I’ve read is that caffiene also irritates the prostate, can lead to acid reflux. I have now started to make a tea made from turkey-tail mushroom, hand-picked in the wild. It’s very good for you and has an interesting although different flavor.

I find the article interesting and the responses more so… I do drink coffee, organic, but I drink a little at a time not near like I use to. It is more cause I just haven’t quite got the taste for it like I use to and I enjoy sleeping at night and don’t work graveyard shift anymore. I do have to say though, I have always used a bit less than the amount suggested by the direction too, to me it always seemed too strong for me. So, whether that makes it a “little” healthier or not I don’t know and can’t say I really care…. I do eat majority organic as well, so I strongly believe where I may lack in my coffee drinking health, I more than make up for in my majority organic and natural food diet as well as organic personal products. I do agree with one other earlier post the biggest problem with society today is everyone one wants everything in excess. It is as far as food and beverage all about moderation folks everyone wants to “super size”. Take it easy everyone enjoy life you only got this one!!

I have done my own research on-line and in books reading many articles about this subject and find that this pretty much sums up all I have read from all sorts of reliable sources. I’m sure all the coffee drinkers want to find a way to make this info untrue, but it appears to be correct. I drank much coffee when younger and find now that I don’t drink it, I feel so much better. And look better! I do drink organic espresso mixed with some soy milk or almond milk sometimes. I am also drinking the Teeccino again and it’s pretty good, you just have to remember to use much less water than with coffee. I add a bit of cinnamon to the grounds sometimes. It is not coffee so don’t expect it to taste like it. Heart/blood pressure problems run in my family. One brother takes Lipitor, the other has high blood pressure and so does my mom – they all drink coffee. I don’t drink it, eat pretty healthy and am oldest and have none of those problems. Like he says in the article, it is your choice. If I drink a cup now, especially from Dunkin, StarBk’s (burnt beans), McD’s, etc, it all tastes so cheap and nasty to me. As always, you can choose healthy or unhealthy. Sorry, but coffee, as most Americans drink it, is pretty much unhealthy.

Teecino tastes terrible (at least the two I tried–Java and original). I buy low-acid French Roast from Trader Joe’s and use the toddy process as outlined earlier–plus to reduce acid further, there is a product called Coffee Tamer, which is a little packet of powder that is tasteless you can add to your coffee, and supposed to reduce acid 90%.

Moderation is the key for the general population. Specific groups may need to eliminate caffeine, which is found in other products besides coffee like chocolate (also antioxidant) and teas.

Try the Toddy cold-brew process. I much prefer it over traditional hot-brew methods. you take coffee grounds and let them brew(soak) in cold water for 12-48hrs and it produces a coffee concentrate that you mix with hot water or cold for iced coffee. the cold brewing does not extract as much caffeine, bitter oils, or acid. It is a really smooth cup of joe. check it out!

aren’t you able to make a decision for yourself or do you need to be told what to do all the time?

So, what advice would you give me! I take the 5 hour energy drink daily, do you think its a bad idea for me to be doing this! If it is, what would you recommend I take instead? Curious………

Coffee is actually very bad for you and can kill you. I am just a 14 year old but I believe not to drink this.
Live longer, and don’t die from being stupid. STOP!!!
