Ever since I got my Keurig coffee maker 2 weeks ago, my wife and I drink a lot of coffee. I'm hooked. Starbucks can kiss our azz!

I agree too, I am trying to cut down this week, but feel "backed up" when I was regular, I hate that feeling…

There is conflicting data. Coffee has been found to have anti-oxidants and also have a insulin-regulating effect. Those things are good! However, in excess, the caffine in coffee (and other drinks) is bad for you. Also, if you load your coffee with sugar – it can be bad too. So, drink in moderation and its great. Overdo it and its not so great.

Yes it is true. I've been off of coffee for 1 year now. I switched to tea, but I can tell you it don't hold a candle to coffee as far as I'm concerned. I quit coffee because I have fibroid tumors in my uterus and I know coffee is responsible for fibrous breasts, so I figured maybe theres a connection with the uterus as well. But I love the smell of coffee as well as the taste and am tempted to go back to drinking it, in moderation, because of the benefit of staying "regular" as well as these other reported benefits.

Actually, it is funny: some studies show that people who drink 6 or more cups of coffee decrease their chances of type 2 diabetes. Men: by 54%; Women: by 30%. That's a lot. Also, I read that if you at least drink 2-cups of regular coffee per day, you're healthier than someone who doesn't drink coffee at all. Just something interesting to think about!

Although I love coffee, my husband wants me to stop drinking it, and rightfully so. It absorbs MOST nutrients, and flushes the protein intake of food right out of you (you will notice if you have coffee with your eggs in the morning). I still love it, but haven't had it in a while. If you are looking to wean yourself off, try mixing it half with Teccino, an herbal coffee. It has the same feel as if you were to drink coffee in the morning, you will eventually just drink teccino. Plus instead of the caffeine boost, you get a kick from potassium.

TRUE! I recently stopped drinking coffee in the mornings and I have been constipated for a week. Before, when I drank my coffee every morning, I was "regular" as clock work. I will drink my coffee from now on.

My folks always said coffee helped them stay "regular". True or false?

I love flavored coffee (we grind our own flavored beans). I drink no more than 2 cups per day if that much. I would drink more hot tea, but it doesn't seem that a cup of hot tea stays hot as long as a cup of coffee. My imagination? Perhaps. Anyone know of any research to either substantiate or disprove my
unscientific theory?
