In reply to coffee helps my irrational fears !! meaning ???, posted by linkadge on September 25, 2004, at 14:56:58
Linkadge,
Your post stimulated quite a discussion about the cons and mostly pros of coffee drinking.
It is said to make one more energetic, optimistic, motivated, have more social confidence, less depressed, promote warmth and friendliness and fade irrational fears.
And I always thought one was supposed to stay away from caffeine:)
I did learn recently that there is something (cannot remember what) in coffee that is not good for you. The person explained that caffeine was good for you but to drink coffee and not have this chemical one is supposed to always make it with a PAPER FILTER. The paper apparently filters out whatever this is. Just thought I'd put my two cents in.
Now I am convinced to start drinking a cup or so every day if for no other reason than to observe any potential positive outcome. I had stopped drinking caffeine altogether several years ago with the exception that if I start to get a migraine I drink it to shrink the blood vessels and it usually stops the migraine from coming on. I guess it is good for a lot of thing. One needs to realize these things are chemicals and can be of possible value and treat them as such.
