Comments on: How Much Coffee Is Too Much? http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/how_much_is_too_much.html Talk About Coffee is a must visit site for all the coffee lovers out there :)) Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:10:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: KeithF http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/how_much_is_too_much.html/comment-page-1#comment-3537 KeithF Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:52:41 +0000 http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/?page_id=27#comment-3537 I have been drinking coffee since I was 7. I am now 43. I use creamer (half-n-half) and real sugar. None of that manmade garbage for me. I drink about 10 cups a day and have no real problems. I am bald though, I wonder if caffiene caused my hair to fall out?? :) Oh, I sleep fine at night. So, I say, enjoy the coffee, you only live once. I have been drinking coffee since I was 7.

In fact if you're worried about the calcium, just put some milk in your coffee each time you drink to offset the calcium loss. I also drink 4 cups of soya product (loads of calcium) a day, in addition to training with weights to keep the bones strong. I have great teeth and bones, and do not blame coffee at all.

Then after she has left for school I make my own carafe with 2/3s decaf and 1/3 regular coffee and start my work in the home office. But after researching the relationship of caffeine and osteoporosis (which I have at only age 45 due to cancer treatments!) I am trying to eliminate all caffeine. Caffeine flushes out the calcium in your body. I have been feeling so much better (more alert during the day and sleeping better at night). My daughter was right!

In the days that followed I actually felt more tired because the lack of proper sleep. The diarehha too was uncomfortable. However, I had now reduced to 2 mugs a day (about 4 cups). I have it with meals now to make my digestion work better. However, the real reason I liked coffee is because it made my squinty chinese looking eyes (I'm not chinese I'm east indian) much bigger and more attractive (so says my wife). I find when reducing to 2 mugs a day I don't get this effect anymore. Any suggestions how to make the eyes big and awake without going over 2 mugs?

I'm very healthy, and am wondering if I have developed a resistance to caffeine. Hi, I’m 14 years old and I drink an average of 16 cups of coffee per day.

And besides if all the coffee you drink is caffeinated, then you get too used to it & don't feel the kick as much anymore. So when I do drink the ledded stuff I get the punch I'm looking for.

I kicked the caffeine habit months ago, occasionally having one cup when I really need to wake up. But to satisfy my "need" for coffee, I switched to decaf. I still "need" my coffee in the morning, but now just for the enjoyment of the warm brew. You kicked a lot in the last year, you can do this, too. Mitch, find yourself a good decaf.

My health is top notch..I am a non smoker, have a sensible diet, workout daily, and have quit alcohol altogether 10 months ago... No I cannot keep from drinkin upwards to 4 cups a day for the past 3 days...what can I do to kick it before it get's outta hand?

That'll typically limit you to two mugs at a time, rather than just have a giant pot that you'll spend all day drinking. Also, maybe use decaf as a substitute for times when you don't need the caffeine and want to just drink mainly for taste/enjoyment, like with dessert or whatever.
