I'm sorry to all those who crave and adore soda and coffee.

Studies have shown that caffiene is not at all healthy for your body.
It is connected to weight problems, stress, headaches, and all sorts of bad things.

But now the coffee lovers have a substitute:Teecino

It tastes exactly like coffee, but without the caffiene
http://www.teecino.com

All I have to say is: 1) I hate almost all things "herbal", 2) substitutes aren't always better (like sacarin the wonderful sugar sub, which can casue cancer with high enough quantities ::], besides which it tastes like crap!), and finally 3) caffiene can actually help get rid of headaches

I don't know if caffiene can get rid of headaches but I know that it's not the best for you.
Did you know that coca cola can eat the rust off of a nail?

*GASP!!!*
Caffine isn't good for me?! OMGOOSES!!! I had no clue!!! Next I suppose you will tell me smoking is bad for me too!

On a serious note, (and no, I don't smoke so plz don't IM me asking me if I do...) I drink a lot of things with caffine. My coffee and my cuppas I must have. However, I've started to drink less soda because of the amount of sugar and such that is in it. I've been drinking a lot of this new stuff called XS that's a healthy alternitive.

While I believe that caffine isn't the best for you, what sense does it make to watch one thing and do another? Ever see someone go into McDonalds, order a double quarter pounder with cheese, large fries, supersize it, and get a Diet Coke? I mean, comeon... ;)

I think we're going to Starbucks this morning. (please don't bash Starbucks cause it's cooler than you) But I always get decaf.

I know I think that's kinda weird when people do that and you are righ if your not going to stop another thing then why stop that? I mean I drink soda now I don't drink alot of it but I do drink it knowing that it's not that good for me ::] I think it's just a habit we can't break.

*GASP!* Starbucks is teh eviL! $3.50 for a coffee!!! What a rip!

CJ

blah blah blah Starbucks r0x0rz!!!11!

Oh my gosh. I can't believe I just did that. :-[

and finally 3) caffiene can actually help get rid of headaches
I love coffee and soda, but caffinee actually causes headaches. You GET headaches from a lack of caffinee if your use to it. That's why people that drink a lot of caffinee that suddenly stop drinking it get horrible headaches. Caffinee is obviously not good for you, but you can always get decafe (sp?) coffee and caffinee-free soda.

Caffeine isn't good for you but as long as you don't drink it in huge amounts you'll be fine. I love coffee but it isn't like I drink it all the time. :) Oh well!

But now the coffee lovers have a substitute:Teecino

you know, thats why there is a such thing in coffee called decaf and caffinated. he he he

caffiene has never cured me of a headache. it usually causes my headaches, actually. ::]
and I don't drink soda much, and I've only had a regular (non-decaf) coffee once in my life, so I think I'm probably ok (at least on the caffiene front... sugar, on the other hand.... ::] :lick: )



and I have a chart somewhere (I think they gave it to me at the orthodontist) that says that diet pepsi is only a couple Ph points away from battery acid. hehe. :D

yeah, i've known it isn't real healthy. which is why i only have coffee in moderation. (i'm not a fan of soda)

I have Starbucks (usually decaf) at least once a month. And I probably only have 2 cans of Dr Pepper every month or two.

Yeah...I don't like soda too much.

yay for caffiene!!!!!

Yeah, coffee is not good for nerves either. Decaff is good.

i have acid reflux so coffee and caffine is my mortal enemy. but i love it so much so somtimes i just drink it and take the pain.

I only like certain brews. And the caffiene doesn't really affect me. I can plop down and fall asleep minutes after downing a cup.

I don't drink coffee ;D

yeah, i'd say it's connected to headaches, thing is though, they get rid of mine :P

oh, and 3.50 at starbucks?? i usually pay 3.73 ;)

Decaf is for blasphemers ... ;)

Yeah, same here. I had coffee at mid night and I had no problem going to sleep.

So how exactly does caffeine cause headaches? :P

I suffer from chronic migraines and the best way that I've found to get rid of a headache fast, is to take 2 excedrin (which has caffeine in it) and drink something with caffeine in it. But on the flip side, yes too much caffeine is bad for you. There have been cases of teenagers developing heart disease because of all the caffeine they were taking in. But those teens were drinking upwards of 4 2 litre bottles of Mountain Dew EVERYDAY! :o

from what i've heard and seen, caffiene is like ritalin, it does different stuff for different people. if you get headaches, it can help stop them. if you don't, it can help create them. (ritalin helps hyper people calm down, but it makes most people hyper.)

i'm with skilltroks and riz, i can drink a can of Mountain Dew before going to bed and be completely fine. :) which is why i stay away from coffee. tastes bad and the caffiene doesn't work on me, so why drink it?

can't have caffeine before bedtime cause it causes problems

my parent's theory is "everything in moderation". You're probably fine just having a little caffiene every day, just like everything else. fat in moderation won't cause weight gain, but gorging yourself on fatty foods will. same principle.

Guys, I kind of just made this thread to see what you thought.
Most ordinary people are aware that caffiene isn't good for you.
I'm very hypocrytical(today I had 2 cups of mint coffee, it wasn't decaf either)

I'm trying to eat healthier, and I just really wanted to see your views on that particular subject.

BTW, I've been know to have 5 cups of coffee, and still be completely fine. ;)

Caffine isn't bad its a good thing. It's my friend. So stop trying to come inbetween us. :)

I used to like coffee a lot, but I've strayed from it for two reasons. One, ever since June or so and my allergic reaction to some antibiotics, I've somehow developed a bit of a sensitivity to caffiene. So I can only have a little more than half a cup of coffee or I get odd and shaky. It's not bad, it's just annoying. But if I have one of those frappuccinos from Starbucks... it's not a pretty sight. And two, it makes me have to pee a lot, haha. So, I don't drink much coffee. But lately I've been living off of hot chocolate.

I know I think that's kinda weird when people do that and you are righ if your not going to stop another thing then why stop that? I mean I drink soda now I don't drink alot of it but I do drink it knowing that it's not that good for me ::] I think it's just a habit we can't break.

Yeah man. I prefer to live life on the edge :o. That sounded like I was some kind of surfer

Dude, you should like totally go for it, man. Go wild, bro.

Ya I think that's be pretty gnarley

Alright, when I wrote this, I was very into health.
Very...
Right now, I have been back into my coffee swing...and I'm loving it!

So, I feel like a hypocrite. But I feel way better, and I'm not drinking as mich as I used to. Everything else I eat is healthy, this is my dessert ;)

Caffine isn't bad its a good thing. It's my friend. So stop trying to come inbetween us. :)

After this thread being in the grave for 9 months, I couldn't think of a better reason to bring this back. :)

Its an excellent reason to bring it back up!

Caffeine = proof God loves us.

This thread is blaspheme!!!!!

Caffeinated coffee has more anti-oxidants than tea or any fruit or vegee. FACT

So, flame me all you want for saying this, but what's so great about Coffee? It tastes terrible, and leaves a terrible aftertaste in your mouth. After that, it proceeds to work its wretchid mass around in your body, until you feel sick. Why, what's so great about it? I don't drink coffee, and I never will!

Isildur, its obivious that you and coffee don't get along but dont be a hater. >:( Ever heard of cream and sugar in your coffee,it helps!You can pick some up at your local grocery store and caffine will help you be all that you can be. ;D

Coffee tastes AWESOME if the right people make it, it's good and healthy for you, it's all natural, but industrialized, appeasing many political parties, it's a universal drink throughout much of the world, it's aftertaste is awesome, just not as terrifically spectacular as the initial taste

I've taken Coffee Black. I've put cream in it. I've put sugar in it. I've put honey in it. I've put various combinations of all 3 in it. I've had coffee from different restaurants, different people, I've had coffee from the best coffeehouses in Seattle, to the ones in New York, to Los Angeles, to Boston, and you know what? It's all nasty.

God cursed you. Don't know what you did, but you're cursed. :P

At least I haven't sold my soul to a drink. :)

I thought you would have learned after trying it with honey, why did travel all the way to seatle, boston,canada,europe,Jamaica if its so nasty. lol im jk

Well, in all those cities my parents would be like "Greg, you have to try this, maybe you'll like this kind." And reluctantly, I'd try it, and hate it. I still try it every year to see if it changes. I tried it on January 1st of this year, and it was terrible.

I think I'll stick to my tea, thank you.

Change your mind, Heri, you'll thank me :)
I drink both, to tell the truth. Tea with breakfast, coffee anytime else! :P

Greg, what kind of drinks have you tried before?

See, someone else hasn't been effected by its evil either. Viva La Resistance!

I don't think coffee's gonna change much... yep coffee's not for you stick to hot cocoa.

See, someone else hasn't been effected by its evil either. Viva La Resistance!


I used to want coffee as a kid, I have been known to chug down a whole mug -and when I say mug, I don't mean small-, in one gulp, of course it had tons of sugar that drowned that dreadful taste.

But I never find myself wanting coffee anymore, it yellows ones teeth, I don't want that happening, plus the bad taste...

Actually, I don't like any hot drinks. I don't like Cocoa, I don't like Hot Chocolate, I don't like Tea (Except for Iced Tea), and I don't like Coffee. I also don't like Mocha's or Latte's. :\

your boring :P... do you like soup?

I don't like Tea.
I'm going to go cry. A lot.
D; But as I have said before, if we ever meet in person, I will most definately make you some good tea.

Not really. I like a lot of cold drinks though.

Cold Drinks > Hot Drinks, aliengurl7

cold drinks = boring dude. lol

Tea is one of God's greatest gifts next too Kangaroo Riding foo!

I agree, I prefer blended coffees over hot, MOST of the time.

But, since you rapscalions are bashing God's second-greatest gift here, I'll leave for the PROcaffeine thread :P :)

Cold Drinks > The Whig Party, Jefferson Davis, Hot Drinks, Markers, The Mexican Navy, Windows 98 Second Edition, Interstate 95, The Backstreet Boys, Sprint Wireless, and Muffins.

With cold drinks being better than all those, how could you deny the majesty of cold drinks?

Coffee = spectacular. You don't know good coffee until you try it in England. The tea there's okay too, I guess.

Thank God for microwaves. I can very quickly warm cold drinks...just pop a glass of milk in for about 20 seconds, and wala...I can drink it!

I can't have milk. But doesn't warm milk make you sleepy?

I try to stay away from caffine. It makes me too hyper and then I just get all shakey and I can't concentrate or sleep for the next 12 hours. I stick with hot chocolate and root beer.
