That's very interesting, Russ. Although I usually didn't drink more than two cups of coffee a day I think that it was enough to do some significant damage. I haven't drank any coffee in a week and I'm starting to feel better.

Caffeine is addictive and also demineralizes your body. It causes your body to eliminate calcium and magnesium and causes a number of other harmful health effects.

The amazing part is that it only takes a small amount of caffeine to do this. Basically, if you have 1/4 cup of coffee, you've already done 90% of the damage that an entire cup would do.

Caffeine does stimulate the excretion of bile which will promote bowel movements but the magnesium displacement can cause constipation, headaches, twitchy muscles, cramps and much more. Long term calcium displacement can cause easily breakable bones and an acidic body Ph. It can also increase the risk of heart attacks significantly.
