Reply #56: Actually , coffee depletes your adrenals and dehydrates your body.

[KittyWampus]

Caffeine triggers your pituitary to secret adrenaline.

It also is addictive as body then craves more.

It depletes water in your body.

It eventually then begins to stress the heart.

Then there's what it does to the intestines and intestinal flora.

It causes fatigue that its addicts compound by consuming even more.

But if coffee drinkers want to believe the usual attempt to paper over the real effects of using a drug on a regular basis... that's their right. But why pretend it's good for you?

Getting antioxidants from blueberries also provides fiber and vitamins.

I now drink roasted barley tea & dandelion tea which both have the depth of coffee while actually being very beneficial. Also drink lots of green tea and delicious herbal teas.
