In praise of coffee (was: Re: Re: Caramel Sauce)

[Guest guest]

Coffee doesn't agree with me either. The last time I had it was in the hospital,

and it gave me the WORST case of heartburn I've ever had in my life. What a

miserable sleepless night that was, and of course, the night staff couldn't be

bothered to give me an antacid. I don't think caffeine is good for me either. It

can take several days for my nerves to recover from it.

digestive system? Do you think it's bad for you in other ways?

I'm stressed, jittery, can't sleep, losing hair. Overall it makes me feel

terrible.

drink it from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed. It's not a good

thing for me.
