 Caffeine is not just found in coffee but is also present in tea, chocolate, colas and some soft drinks. Even "decaffeinated coffee" still has at least 2% of caffeine in it. You'll be surprised that it is also an ingredient in some cold and pain-relief tablets. Caffeine is a potent stimulant that stimulates the brain, heart and central nervous system that keeps one awake and feel brighter, thus its popularity in this very busy modern world. However, caffeine has numerous adverse effects on health and can become addictive. Its diuretic effect causes loss of calcium that leads to an increased risk of osteoporosis.

As in all acidic food, it depletes your body of potassium and interferes with your body's mineral absorption A coffee addict friend once told me that if she doesn't drink coffee she gets a headache; that a cup of coffee helps relieve her headache. I explained to her how ignorant she really is. Because she has been drinking so much coffee, her body has become so toxic. When she doesn't drink coffee, she is really facing a withdrawal symptom as her body is actually relieved for that short period when she doesn't drink. This is really like a "healing crisis" when her intelligent body is detoxifying when it doesn't have to deal with more toxic overload. The coffee is the cause of the headaches!
