Caffeine

January 21, 2004

My brother is the Chairman and owner of Starbucks and he knows and

understands caffeine quite well.

The caffeine in tea is NOT to be taken lately. I stay away from it having

had both an a fib episode from it and having to be hospitalized after

consuming it with a heart rate so high it could not be tracked by human hands..

My brother said TEA can be worse than coffee for some individuals. I do not

go near anything other than CAFFEINE FREE herbal tea.

So do be careful...... but also realize what is one trigger for one may not

be for another. Personally, i stay away from all products with caffeine and

anything that is a stimulant.

I've been reading the threads on caffeine in coffee for a few days

now and I'm surprised that some of our senior members of this forum

haven't mentioned chicory as a coffee substitute. It's caffeine free

so you won't get the buzz but it sounds like a healthy alternative.

I've never tried it, I gave up coffee in 1980, so I can't say how it

tastes.

Hi, I've been a lurker for the last two months. I love this group

and all the wisdom I receive. I have been successful doing SB for

the last 3 months, and have given up caffeine. I LOVED diet Snapples,

and would have 2 - 3 a day. I wasn't sure I could give them up. But

since I have, and for a few days I did have withdrawal headaches, I

feel much better. No achy chest pains before that time of the month,

less jittery as well. I would say really try it, perhaps between

semesters. BEST OF LUCK!!!
