Re: Coffee anyone?
I'm a coffee addict and usually drink two buckets (1 pint mugs) first thing in the morning and then several more during the course of the day. The caffeine doesn't seem to affect me at all. I can have two cups of strong black coffee before bed and sleep like a baby. My preference is for Costa Rican coffee - it just has so much flavour. I also drink a couple of cups of strong tea each day as well, but coffee is my first love and I just don't feel right if there is too much blood in my coffee stream.

Many years ago when I lived in Berlin my husband's boss was an avid coffee drinker, drinking anything up to 10 cups a day, BUT, he had two spoons of coffee in each cup. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he collapsed at work one day and had to be taken by ambulance to the British Military Hospital where he was diagnosed with a drug overdose, that drug being caffeine. 'Tis truth.
And please stop calling me darlin'!

Re: Coffee anyone?
A recent review of research about coffee consumption by the Harvard School of Public Health posed the following question:Yes, research over the past few years suggests that coffee consumption may protect against type 2 diabetes,Parkinson’s disease, liver cancer, and liver cirrhosis. And our latest study on coffee and mortality found that people who regularly drank coffee actually had a somewhat lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who rarely drank coffee
