A little of it is good but too much of it is really bad. anything that is too much it not good.

Coffee is bad for me cuz it has the reverse effect...it actually makes me sleepy. You can say it's my sleeping pill if I need one.

But seriously too much caffeine is bad as it dehydrates your body. Stick to a max. 2 cups a day.

I personally dont believe in cons of drinking coffee (unless you drink more than 3 cups a day - dont go over 600mg caffeine a day)
Its good to drink coffee - can prevent Alzheimer's, has some aphrodisiac characteristics, improves brain functioning etc.
everything in moderation...

The key to most areas of our diet is moderation - I have also read that organic is better. I have found the supermarkets now offer some brands in organic. The taste is actually better.

As far as sweeteners - I don't use any, but anything else I may sweeten, I use the Sweet Leaf.

Yes workingmamma - the news is always coming up with some different thing that is good for you one day and going to kill you the next day. In fact you will laugh - but I remember hearing that toast (yep - good old toasted bread) was cancer causing.

So -- the key to all diets is definitely "a little won't hurt", which is what most of you are agreeing on.

I hate the saying "everything in moderation". So its ok to moderately poison ourselves? A little WILL hurt. You may not see the repercussions now but you most very likely will in the future. This could be in the form of excessive tiredness and not being able to really function (which is most people these days) or something like cancer.

Why is it "not living" by avoiding these things?

I cut out caffeine and my moods are much more level, I don't get irritated anymore and I am happier. That IS living to me.

You can enjoy your food without resorting to junk. Stop putting junk on a pedalstal - see it for what it really is....and you will live a much healthier life.

Of course there are going to be studies showing how great coffee is...because it is something a lot of people love and it is addictive. That isn't healthy..but we will make an excuses or find anything for the things you love. J

Also just because something contains something doesn't mean that it is healthy for us and even if it does contain just that one thing that is considered good for us - there are a million other reasons why it isn't healthy. We focus on the ONE thing that makes it seem ok, so we can continue our addiction to them.
