Caffiene is a diuretic (sp?) so I read however much caffiene you have you should have equal amount water in addition to the 10 glasses you should have already. I drink a pot of coffee a day.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 I drink a few litres of water a day, so I think I'm allright there. If that's the only reason I've decided it's bad, I think I might be torturing myself for no reason! > In a message dated 1/2/2003 4:21:05 PM Central America Standard Time, > cadchick@h... writes: > > > > I'm confused here!!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 Thanks, I'm pondering wandering over to the coffee pot right now and turning it on. I've been torturing myself with this for a couple days now, I'm just going to do it. I think I was doing it more as a self control thing than anything. I already know how lacking I am in that department, especially after a potato chip/cookie pig out last night. > In reply to the original question, caffeine is neither > a good nor a bad thing.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 - I treat my coffee and Diet Coke as a " treat " . Maybe it's the mind over matter thing or something. But if I want something sweet I'll have a diet coke and same goes with the coffee and sit down with a nice big hot cup all by myself and relax... hmm that sounds like a good idea.... ~kim Re: Caffiene Thanks, I'm pondering wandering over to the coffee pot right now and turning it on.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 I did exactly that this morning. It's Friday, I'm celebrating. I have a massive caffiene buzz right now though, it feels good to have that again! > - > I treat my coffee and Diet Coke as a " treat " . Maybe it's the mind over matter thing or something.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Sara, What is his rationale for promoting coffee? Used in moderation (no more than 2 cups per day) coffee and tea should be ok. More than this and the tannins will bind various nutrients & inhibit their absorption & cause nutrient deficiences. Don't have any article on this but I'm certian they exist.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would also be interested in this!! From: swojtyna <swojtyna@...>Subject: Caffiene Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 10:25 PM Hi All, We always tell our patients to choose decaffinated beverages post-op, one of our surgeons promotes drinking caffiene. Does anyone know of any reference articles to support either theory? Let me know!Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
