zebracolors Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Lets face it, its the caffine we are addicted to isn't it? Does it really matter what form we injest it in? I used to drink soda everyday and I know that has loads of caffine. But I stopped drinking colas about a year ago and have not ever had a desire for a Coke anymore. But İ still enjoy coffee and tea (since about 1998). Though I do now drink more water, milk and fruit juice in addition to these. For that matter, chocolate has small amounts of caffine as well. (between .2-.7%) So even if you give up the java but have the occasional chocolate treat, you are still consuming caffine.
Linda9999 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I quit drinking caffeine when I got heart palpitations from it and had to go on blood pressure meds. I switched to decaf only (so didn't cut the caffeine out completely) and didn't have any of the withdrawal symptoms that are common. That was about 5 years ago, and about a year ago I started making half decaf at work and at home, and ingesting about a cup of caffeinated coffee per day. Everything in moderation, that's the key. A cup or two a day isn't going to do you any harm.
