Semi OT - Coffee and Woodworking

[J T]

Interesting. May explain why I started feeling bad from drinking an occassional cup of coffee after I'd cut way down on my coffee consumption. Nothing quite like sitting in the shop, smelling the sawdust, and drinking a cuppa. I don't drink coffee at all anymore, stick to just water and loads of green tea. Damn, I just knew I shouldn't listen to those people telling me that all the coffee I was drinking was bad for me - and I was right. Oh well. I'll start drinking it again next life maybe.

Just hold out til next week, when there will be another "study" indicating the exact opposite.

There is another one out, same time, different station. It says coffee is good for some conditions, I forget what. My feeling is that these studies are hazardous to your nerves, reading them gives almost anyone the jitters, affects heart rate, and creates excessive irritation of the mental faculties. Thus, I almost never finish reading a study anymore before throwing up my hands, and, by extension flinging the paper or magazine, and screaming, "Bullshit!"

The cardiologist said I 'could/should' have only 1 or two cups a day.

O.K . . .in MY mug. Makes measuring real easy, two ounces absorbed by the grounds - just use a quart measure to fill the coffee maker.

Interesting. I'm a coffee drinker and recently cut back to one mug per day. I got headaches until I get used to less caffeine. My mother had bad heart problems, so I have to watch it but I exercise twice a day, everyday, slightly underweight, eat healthy which I feel is better than any drug.

I will continue my caffeine enrichment program until a UN resolution tells me otherwise. (Juan Valdez will veto it anyway.)

Well there you have it. Cutting down on coffee consumption is the problem.

Resume previous levels of coffee consumption and life will be better.

Water is OK if you are thirsty, green tea is rather vile swill that should be avoided if one can get good coffee.

Damn, I just knew I

No it is not too late. Start now. Heck why not roast your own and really have a good cup?

Finding the keyboard operational J T entered:

"This was particularly the case when a coffee drinker got little regular exercise or had three or more risk factors for heart disease - such as diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking." Eat healty,excerisize, and don't smoke. Enjoy your coffee. But then again, I'm baised. Bob
