    I dont drink coffee as I am not a big fan of it but I jsut wanted to let you know that I jsut heard on the news that coffeee drinkers have less likely chance of getting skin cancers/melanomas becuse of something in caffeine that attacks bad cells!

    Sorry I dont have more info, it might be on again at the 6pm news!

    Not me but DH has at least 8 cups a day, plus several cans of Pepsi Max.

    I would normally have 3-4 expressos a day. I have cut back before to 1 cup a day and found that the first day or 2 had horrid headaches, but after that actually felt better and had more energy.

    Yeah thats exactly why i want to cut down, i know i'll have more energy.

    Its funny though, i have tried skipping the coffee but having caffiene in other sources, like guarana, coke etc, but i still crave the taste of coffee, strange!

    T, its the taste of coffee that I crave too - more so than the caffiene thus I progressively switched to the decaf so I could still have coffee and fill the taste craving but with hopefully less caffienne. I used to be almost continous coffee and coke at work and even at home a numbers of coffee in a day so over time I just started my day with the caffienne and made the others on decaf. I also made sure I had a huge glass of water before each one so I wasn't just drinking it for thirst which I had been previously. I am currently down to about 2 a day and the occasional coke - which is huge for me. It wasn't my intention to reduce the number so much as the caffienne level but it just seemed to happen..

    I have countless cups of coffee when I am at work. On weekends maybe 1 or 2 a day. When I was pregnant I somehow managed to go cold turkey.
