I've been told by many doctors and such over the years that caffeine in large amounts (which the average American does do large amounts daily) is bad for your health. I didn't literally mean the coffee, I meant the caffeine in it. I drink decaf coffee and herbal teas, sometimes green tea. But I only have MAYBE 2 drinks per day with caffeine in them, sometimes none at all. The key here is moderation. Anything can be bad for you if it's done in too large of quantities. If you eat healthy but are consuming way too many calories per day, you will gain weight and not lose. Same difference. I've also read that caffeine in high quantities throughout a lifetime causing people to have adrenal fatigue. I'm not saying small amounts aren't good. That's like with alcohol, large quantities can kill you, but a glass of wine per day is shown to help with health. I think same thing is applied here. I just don't see the big deal when many here and on other NBE forums have said that when they drank caffeine they felt it inhibited their growth, I feel the same. So what is so hard about stopping it just while your on a NBE program? If people can grow and still have their caffeine great, but for me, when I'm on an herbal routine I cut out all caffeine just to be on the safe side. I barely have caffeine now as is, so no biggie for me. Before NBE I had way too much and I can tell you, going off of it the first time was no walk in the park. My body was dependent on it to function, etc. How is that good for you in large quantities when it causes that effect when you don't have it? Kind of sounds like being addicted to a drug in my opinion. I also feel better now then I did when I had way too much caffeine everyday. But that's my opinion. I think you could get the anti-oxidants out of decaf coffee just as easily as you could caffeinated coffee. I didn't mean to start a debate, yet here you are barking down my throat like I committed a crime only sharing information I have been told for years. Anyway, this is all I have to say on the subject. I'm not going to be ridiculed for trying to help people on here.

EDIT: I just reread what I said and what was quoted. NO WHERE in what I said did I say coffee was bad for your health, the entire time I was saying excessive amounts of CAFFEINE is. Please read what I say before accusing me of saying something I didn't, thanks.
