Coffee - How much is too much?!

[SimonMac]

I drink a lot of coffee, and I mean a lot, I am easily into double figures of normal cups of coffee during the day, topped up with Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso drinks, I try to counteract this with water, maybe 2 liters a day but I think I might need to go cold turkey for a bit to give the system a bit of a detox.

This is not going to be fun

I snort 5 grams of cocaine a day. But it's ok, i counteract it with water.

You should never snort coke, the bubbles tickle as they go up your nose

Why not replace every 2nd cup with decaf, then cut down on the number of cups, then maintain what you deem to be a normal level rather than doing a detox and then jumping back straight into the same pattern as before?

I think a complete detox is needed to see if it's the coffee causing my problems or I have bowel cancer

Why drink less?

It's good for you:

Coffee consumption may be linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes (EUFIC)

Overall, coffee consumption (both caffeinated and decaffeinated) was found to be associated with lower risk of Type 2 Diabetes and was not found to increase the risk of chronic disease.

Have you considered speaking to a doctor ?

I don't think there is a sympton that exists, that won't lead to the 'cancer conclusion' if you research it online

My fave is this NE bloke who worked with me at a Nuclear Power Station, all PV'd - DV'd in modern parlance, site doc checked us (and our balls - cough!) every month. Asked him....

Doc: Who much alcohol do you drink?

NE Bloke: About 17....

Doc: Units!!!

NE Bloke: No, - Pints....

Doc: Blimey. A week?

NE Bloke: No - a night....

Look up the most harmless cause of the symptoms you have, and the chances are that's what it is.
