I've become a little concerned that I may need to cut back on coffee and tea. I drink maybe 5-7 cups a day, combined.

I'm concerned mainly about sugar consumption. And I may have a ginger ale the same day.

I'm not diabetic, but don't want to become so. My late father was a diabetic. No, he wasn't overweight, and neither am I.

Also, are you aware that coffee is thought to keep Alzheimer's and other dementia at bay, and promotes heart health?

Tea contains strong antioxidants that kill free radical cells that can cause diabetes, heart trouble, and cancer. And I like it! :) It has about half the caffeine of coffee, but that may or may not be what helps coffee to provide its own benefits.

So, how many cups on an average day do YOU drink of each?
Do you drink tea in a cup at all, or just as an iced beverage?

And how much of your intake is decaffeinated?

I drink a half a pot of STRONG, highly caffeinated coffee a day. Also a few cans of Diet Coke Lime. I hafta cut out caffeine fairly early in the day or I can't sleep.
'Course, it's 0228 right now and I got up because I couldn't fall asleep. Haven't had caffeine since about 1300 yesterday.:mad:
You can read studies on coffee consumption. One highly respected researcher will say it is great for your health. The next will say it will kill you dead tomorrow.:rolleyes:
I' ain't gonna stop drinkin' it. I ain't got a pulse until my second cup.:cool:

I'll drink maybe 2-3 cups of black coffee during the day.I like the K-Cups.Each cup of coffee is as good as the first one.

Summer means less coffee and more beer or water.
Winter means more coffee and even some hot chocolate.

What I drink usually hinges on what the taste buds want or what I'm eating.
 
I drink a 24 oz cup on the way to work, then after that it depends on the weather ... summer = cold caffeinated beverage, winter = coffee.

Plus the wife MAKES me drink coffee on my days off, so I don't "sleep all day."
 
I usually drink 4-5 cups of strong black coffee a day plus a fair amount
of diet Coke. Never drink tea. I'm not diabetic or overweight but I try
to eat as little sugar as possible. Lots of contradictory "evidence"
presented in articles about the effects of caffeine but I believe it's
beneficial.
 
When I worked shift work my hand was never without a cup.:rolleyes:
Since I now live as a normal person and due to a health issue I drink maybe one 20oz. Cup and I throw most of it away.
Coffee just taste like it use to?
 
3 In the morning, 2 (maybe) between 19-2100, black and won't keep me awake. 20 oz. iced tea usually homebrewed at work. Occasionally I'll realize I've had nothing but coffee, water and beer for the day. That has to stop.
 
I have a large cup of coffee in the morning and iced tea during the day. On hot days I can consume over a gallon of tea.
 
Two to three cups strong coffee in the morning before work. Never used to care for tea but lately have been drinking a bottle of green tea with ginseng and honey, not bad. Once in a while I'll have a Dr. Pepper at lunch.
 
I generally drink very little coffee, if I do it is decaf. May be three cups a week. Now Tea is a different story. Average close to a gallon a day. The brew I make my self is also decaf. So about 1/2 of what I drink is high-test . I do not use sugar or fake sweeteners. You can really taste the tea flavor with no sugars.
 
Three K-cups of black coffee every morning.

A bottle (500 ml.) of diet green tea or else sport drink (zero calories) in the afternoon.
