Interesting. I’m 14 and only drink coffee when I’m doing something that requires high energy. I’ve noticed that after the “buzz” wears off, my wrists get weak and shakey. Also, the “buzz” feels exactly like one of the side effects to a medicine I took for ADD. That side effect was not pleasant so I switched. (Do not ask me which medicine. I’m parinoid.) I just realized that. Kind of no point in drinking coffee, huh? I think I’ll attempt to switch to green tea.

undoubtedly: had anorexia still do 42 years…..exercising eliminates toxins/metabolites of coffee (which contains MOLD) somewhat but when i drink coffee, even weak, during a fast, hands get very hot and red and bones in feet. YES the answer is yes.

Interesting. My coffee intake has become excessive (10+ cups/day) and at age 40 I find ankles, wrists, back, and hips stiff and often painful.. I will switch to green tea and repost in a month or so. Great study.
