Caffeine Opinions!!!
How many of you drink caffeine? Of course you must know by now that it is a drug and has certain addictive qualities. I have never had a sip of coffee before in my life and I don't plan on drinking it. I don't drink sodas with caffeine in them anymore either. What is your opinion on caffeine?

i drink a lot of green tea, it has caffeine in it, although considerably less then coffee or many soft drinks (i think the soft drinks have more issues then just caffeine). however there is a far bit of evidence suggesting green tea and tea in general has beneficial properties, it's be drunk for hundreds of years for just that reason. i also don't think that caffeine in moderation is necessarily bad, especially when consumed in a beverage with so many other benefits (anti-oxidants, etc).
i lost 25 kg (55 lb) around the time i started drinking green tea, of course i made lots of changes to my diet, and i don't know that the green tea played a role directly, but it certainly didn't have a negative impact on my body!
on the other hand i have a friend who seems to live of caffeinated confectionary, i know people who feel so much better after giving up or cutting back coffee (often for tea), i also know people who are highly intolerant to caffeine. so i do think that caffeine is a drug that should be treated with caution, rather then it's possible effects just being ignored.
i can't stand coffee, i always find i feel worse after drinking it then i did before (also it tastes horrible!). tea on the other hand is very relaxing while also being invigorating, it just tastes healthy! maybe i am addicted, but i doubt it's the caffeine (there simply isn't enough, especially in a good japanese tea like i drink, where you have three infusions with most of the caffeine in the first).

My dr. informed me 2 hundred mg consistent with day is high-quality. i come across that to be particularly plenty, and that i truthfully don't have that plenty an afternoon. I did start up yearning Dr. Pepper for some reason so i became into in all probability eating 3-4 a week for 2 weeks, yet i finished it by way of fact i all started getting issues while i does not drink one. Me and caffeine have had some matters interior the previous, so for me in my view, i think of I in simple terms might have an occasional white chocolate mocha at Starbucks perhaps as quickly as a month :)

I drink a lot of coffee, but I have never seen any " addictive qualities " in it.
I sip coffee only because I like its taste, but I quit drinking it at anytime without needing to pay a visit to a rehab institution.
