You're still young. In time you'll experience/(begin to notice lol) the effects which are really going on.

We had a soda in the states when i was a kid called Josta and it had guarana. Id drink that stuff all day. It had caffeine but i think the guaranas what made it great. Never understood why they took it off the marketSorry to hear about the trouble some people encounter with coffee consumption or abuse...
I'm pretty lucky (I guess) to enjoy any kind of coffee without any unpleasantries but I prefer from espresso up.
Nothing raise my moral better than a fresh cup in the morning either if I'm home, camping or in some forsaken place forgotten by the world. In the latter you really appreciate that cup... Preferably along with a blunt and followed by tobacco.
Only some service men really know the value of that.
But my trick is to avoid repetition and alternate the use / frequency and combination of those, never quiting tobacco.
That's me and my vice and there is nothing anyone can do about. Please don't even try to argue that.
There are alternatives to coffee but depends on the personal taste or needs, tolerance or adversity to some compounds or taste, maybe the smell of it, physiological reaction, etc. (extra strong tea is laxative for me..)
Nowadays the science explain to us that caffeine and teine are the same chemical compound or they're still arguing about it while years back placed the caffeine, teine (tea), guaranine (guarana) and mateine (yerba mate) in the same subgroup of alkaloids called xanthines. So back then they were only four xantines, I don't know what happened lately...
I use Yerba Mate on regular basis and it's a great stimulant giving me (extra) energy without the arrhythmia induced by caffeine if abused. And I abuse them both! Mate keeps me going like chewing coca leaves, without the euphoria.
I would use Guarana regularly but around here is unavailable at affordable price, so if you have it you should use it.
If you're not hooked (like me) on the taste and smell of coffee in the morning, or health issues force you to avoid it, you have alternatives (besides tea) in Yerba Mate or Guarana. The last one really smells and taste like a fruity tea.
Of course, I've mentioned only non euphoric central nervous system stimulants, and that's only my opinion based on personal experience.
- and now for a topical musical interlude -
- and a more recent interpretation of 'Java Jive '
Yes - can lead to a VERY sore bottom - in some people - while others seem to have a ceramic ring-piece - and even after a Vindaloo - can function quite normally -On the topic of straight "natural energy" I find it difficult to match that of spicy peppers and it has it's own after effects depending on usage.
Cayenne powder. I put that s**t on everythingOn the topic of straight "natural energy" I find it difficult to match that of spicy peppers and it has it's own after effects depending on usage.

Thanks Doug', that's the nicest thing anyone said about me on icmag!Late thirties ('cause you laugh at age) to mid forties, 'cause that's the usual period when things start to go south for most folks.
Many top officials from the company and alike award themselfs with shares on coffee companies, maybe that's a reason?We had a soda in the states when i was a kid called Josta and it had guarana.

yep, too much of a good thing.... Funny, I don´t recall having those issues when I was growing up - ??? or maybe I´ve just forgotten. But I do know that when I eat too much and too often ... ziiiing!!! too bad because I do love spicy food!Yes - can lead to a VERY sore bottom - in some people - while others seem to have a ceramic ring-piece - and even after a Vindaloo - can function quite normally -
Yeah it does cause digestion issues. But it clears your allergies like nothing ive seen. I didnt know about A blood type. Whats up with that? Does it effect immune system?Sounds like you have eaten right and kept yourself fit very well. You definitely do not fit the typical Amurhikan health profile. lol Good job!
As for cayenne, it is avoid for the A blood type, and some of those who have a parent who was the A blood type. It is not digested properly and is still rather hot out the other end. lol This I know from research and personal experience. lolololol
Lol !Just the thread title was enough to cause me a bit of panic.
