Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Find this article interesting since I've read in numerous places that caffeine is not good for those of us with liver disease. But a downfall of caffeine for those who take supplements is that it cancels out most vitamins and herbs that are consumed while the caffeine is still in our systems. News - Sodas Raise Cancer Risk, U.S. Study Finds (This is not what the article was mainly about, but this part was particularly interesting. I'm curious to know why this is so? I'm a big caffeine drinker, not so much for the caffeine per se, tho the bowel movement benefit is a plus ... Alley Sodas Raise Cancer Risk, U.S. Study Finds A team at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease studied people with a high risk of liver problems and found those who drank more caffeine had fewer liver abnormalities. They surveyed 5,944 adults at high risk for liver damage because of heavy drinking, hepatitis infection, iron overload or obesity. The more coffee they drank, the more likely they were to have normal liver function, the researchers found. " These results warrant further study, " said Dr. Everhart, who helped lead the study. http://story.news./news?tmpl=story & cid=571 & ncid=751 & e=1 & u=/nm/20040517/\ hl_nm/health_cancer_sodas_dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I have no idea but I'm assuming caffeine right before or right after taking suppliments. Caffeine (and nicotine) have always been known to destroy the vitamin C in your body and heavy caffeine drinkers or smokers should take small doses of C throughout the day. Caffeine (and nicotine as she is sitting dying for a cigarette tonight after an awful day at work) are contraindicated when taking supplements. I store these pieces of information in my head and would have to go searching for references if you really want to know. But I do know that since kicking caffeine (shit I used to take my supplements with coffee), I have felt a whole lot better.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'll be sure to eat more fruits. Ascorbic acid bothers me, so I can't really up my intake of pills as this is how they usually do it and for some reason the man made/pills bother me more than natural and then sometimes just depends, sometimes I can't even do the fruits. Caffeine is my other vitamin C I normally have such low energy that without it and my antidepressant, which perks me up, I'd be jello all day.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 The ascorbic acid is good for the liver? I think that's what they put in cokes right. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
