cause a chemical is added to de-caff the coffee

and the most calories.. look at the quote at the end of the paragraph...

I used to drink so much coffee everyday, 3-4 cups per day. That was too much.

It can give you energy, but there are side effects (bad, not good).

Coffee all day, no exercise, stress, eat poorly, and you have a recipe for disaster...

I think maybe my teeth had to have a filling because of the tons of coffee I was drinking. Surprisingly, I'm not addicted to coffee.

yea, that's usually the case when u drink coffee when u r tired

chemical? in the beans? because i dont think they add anything in the coffee

i used to get very addicted to coffee a few months ago when i started, i need a cup during afternoon time for lecture, if not i will be very sleepy. During exam period, to make myself concentrate better, i had 2 big mug of coffee for that afternoon only. seriously overdose.

now, i only take a cup a day at most. and now my house no milk coz nobody is drinking milk, i din bother to make my daily Nescafe at all

Obviously you missed out on the negative nootropic effects of caffeine.

Sustained caffeine intake will develop some form of dependence. Brain activity was shown to be reduced when someone takes caffeine everyday. This activity can be restored to 'normal' when caffeine is consumed. Hence, the slow sluggish feeling you have if you're a regular coffee drinker without your morning buzz.

A week or so without caffeine would reverse this dependence. It was a NatGeo article. I don't think you can develop tolerance to caffeine. Withdrawal effects are minor. The most significant effect of caffeine withdrawal is fatigue.

On the other hand, caffeine promotes short term memory but doesn't help with long term. So it's a good idea to take before your exams, but not a month before. Haha.

I was only seaching for the benefits, as mostly many ppl think that coffee is not good, just some info i wish to share, u can share urs here too just like u did

coffee good ?
i thought drink coffee to much is not good for memory
is it true ?

Nah, I don't think coffee will do any worst to your memory.
I am actually experiencing occassional rapid heart beat and headaches after consuming coffee. Even though I am a daily coffee drinker.

p/s Feel free to click on my sig, there is a topic about coffee. Mostly based on personal experience rather then informative details.

The effects of caffeine vary from person to person; some individuals can drink several cups of coffee in an hour and notice no effects; while others may feel a strong effect after just one serving.

p.s: I've been drinking black coffee since primary school. My mum makes it every morning. Heck it! I sleep more soundly after drinking black coffee. Nice!

The link has been established quite long ago and even made it in the newspapers. I'm actually surprised that de-caffeneited coffee is still being sold all over the world. They need to add a solvent to the coffee to decaffeneite it.

Let me see if I can find a link.

^ Some background on the matter... but I'm quite leery of statements and conclusions from cancer agencies because I'm very sure that they've been used by various governments to whitewash and cover up cancer risks, for example from things like nuclear safety issues and even the Chernobyl fallout that spread all over Europe.

^ More info, summarised.

The carbon dioxide method of processing seems promising.

From this little investigation of mine I've learned to read the label to get as much information I can about the coffee's decaf process.

Although I always check labels anyway and last I looked they don't say.

Harloo.. I used to drink lotsa coffee until my backache got worse..

I heard that drinking coffee might lead to calcium loss..therefore lead to calcium loss in the bones and worsen osteoporosis..

I'm not really sure about how good it is but usually I could run alot longer on the treadmill after I have coffee. Maybe it's caffeine that boost the energy. So if it's decaf, means that there wouldn't be such side effects?

I usually just drink coffee with skim milk and no sugar. I've gotten used to it.

i drink coffee about 3 times a week.....the only bad thing i find is that right after i drink it, i feel difficulty breathing....but that passes after a while....

anyone experience the same?

That's not a good sign and actually sounds dangerous. I think you have an allergy and should stop taking caffeine completely!

i heard a cup of coffee a day is good for anti-oxidize too..

actually i quite like coffee, esp the smell, is 'seduce'

when i have a cup of coffee in the weekend, it make me feel relax and enjoy, but i not addicted to it...

then try decaffein

Mount Hagen, Organic-Cafe,
Decaffeinated

coffee can be good, but dun take it excessively....

i think i take coffee like 3-4 times a weeek....for breakfast

LOL, I FOUND OUT IZZIT MY COFFEE DRINKING HABIT WHETHER IS GOOD OR NOT

MORNING, 2X ESPRESSO (FINISH IN 20MINS, IF NOT THE COFFEE WILL TURN SOUR)

TEA BREAK, NORMAL ESPRESSO(FINISH IN 15MINS, AS MY BREAK ONLY 15MINS)

LUNCH, NO COFFEE

TEA BREAK AGAIN, ESPRESSO(SAME FINISH IN 15MINS)

THE COFFEE THAT I DRANK IS PLAIN(WITHOUT SUGAR OR MILK)
IZZIT GOOD FOR HEALTH ? I LIKE TO DRINK, BOOST UP MY ENERGY AND KEEP ME AWAKE, BUT I DIN ADDICTED TO IT LA ~ HEE

I take 2 to 3 cups everyday. But usually just those generic ones, no kick at all definitely won't get addicted. And I don't have a problem drinking coffee before going to sleep either, may even make me sleep sounder.

Probably a habit from younger days when my mom will make black coffee for breakfast everyday.
