I really do not like the taste of coffee. I wonder if tea has any of the same benefits?

I love coffee, but I try to limit myself to two espressos a day, caffeine seems to aggravate my restless leg syndrome.

But the irony is that when I was on treatment, I could hardly stand the taste, it was just too bitter on the Incivek.

Coffee all day for me and at night it's blue berry leaf tea.
Thanks ImKramer.

Blueberry tea sounds great.

8. Coffee Appears to Have Protective Effects on The Liver

The liver is an amazing organ that carries out hundreds of important functions in the body.

Several common diseases primarily affect the liver, including hepatitis, fatty liver disease and others.

Many of these diseases can lead to a condition called cirrhosis, in which the liver has been largely replaced by scar tissue.

It turns out that coffee may protect against cirrhosis. People who drink 4 or more cups per day have up to an 80% lower risk

Bottom Line: Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing cirrhosis, which can be caused by several diseases that affect the liver.

Going to bed now sounds great to me.

Love two lg cups of joe in the am. I make it half reg & half decaf to cut down on the acidity.

* somebody read my reply in the 'what to do for the flu' post. See if you like the name of the band I suggested.

I get a tad loopy when I'm overtired. Like now. Good night.

Over 18,000 studies have looked at coffee use in the past few decades. Lately more and more are reporting real health benefits for coffee drinkersbut they must be balanced against the brew's possible bitter effects, especially in higher, caffeinated doses. An ideal "dose" of java is hard to determine, since peoples perceptions of "a cup of coffee" vary as widely as coffee-mug sizes do. But the good news is that many of the benefits are associated with around two to four (8-ounce) cups a day"and thats what most Americans drink anyway," notes Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a coffee expert at the University of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Some intriguing findings:

I wentt to Philz Coffee today,(in The City) and they put a mint leaf on the top, to chew after imbibing, to avoid "coffee Breath" ;)
I always drink a large glass of water, before and after drinking my cuppa, as it is dehydrating, and causes some sweat, so I replenish, and brush my teeth afterwards, to avoid stains (with coffee and tea)
I also think that tea is a good antioxidant, I drink black and green loose-leaf~

I let my body tell me how much. Usually, after 2 cups, I don't want more coffee. I make Ice Tea very strong w/ 1/2 Black and 1/2 Green Tea. I do use abt 1/4 cup of sugar to 2 Gallons of Tea (live in the South. We must have some "sweet" in the tea but I can't take the true Southern sweet,sweet Tea. LOL)
