Caffeine Article

This is one of the articles I have on caffeine.  Caffeine is near the top of the list of things I am not allowed to have.  I couldn't believe how 1 small piece of chocolate made my bladder cramp.

Interesting.  What they didn't state - was how much caffeine you would have to ingest to have all those things happen to you.  

I do believe it stimulates the stomach juices tho.  I know if I have a cup or 2 of coffee without food I may feel yucky within an hour or so.  

Yes, I am an addict  LOL

Roz thank you for the article, as I am sitting here at my desk drinking my "2nd" cup of coffee, after having 1 cup of black hot tea and its only 10:00 am..... I am thinking "MAYBE" this is why my weight loss has come to a screetching hault.  I am going to do my best to "Taper" off the caffeine.  I have bought decaf coffee and chamimille tea and so the process begins.  However, my favorite hot tea is a black tea which contains caffeine.  Maybe I will have just 1 per day instead of 3.....I know I CAN do this, This is no comparison to all the OTHER things I have learned to live without!!!! 

Why not try decaf black tea?  That should allow you to drink it all day long if that's what floats your boat so to speak  

Interesting.  I'm not a coffee drinker or a PPI taker and I hadn't linked the 2.  PPIs scare me as they block calcium absorption and caffeine also causes bone problems... both together sound like a recipe for real disaster.
