- coffee (caffeine) exhausts adrenaline stores
- reduces the calming neurotransmitter, serotonin
- prevents you from falling into deep sleep
- caffeine inhibits iron absorption (1)
- caffeine contributes to depression
- caffeine depletes your supplies of thiamin and other B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc
- caffeine is more toxic than Marijuana or Speed (Benzedrine)
- Spiders on Marijuana could spin their webs reasonably well, bet appeared to lose concentration half-way through.
- Spiders given Benzedrine, or speed, were said to have spun their webs “with great gusto, but apparently without much planning, leaving large holes.”
- Spiders on caffeine were incapable of spinning anything better than a few threads strung together at random.
- Not surprisingly, spiders given chloral hydrate, an ingredient used in sleeping pills, dozed off before they even got started.
The scientist noted that a good way to measure the toxicity of drugs was to compare the number of completed sides in the web. The more toxic the chemical, the more deformed the spider’s web. Based on their findings so far, it appears that caffeine is quite highly toxic – more so than even marijuana and speed. The scientist noted that a good way to measure the toxicity of drugs was to compare the number of completed sides in the web. The more toxic the chemical, the more deformed the spider’s web.

Studies never state that coffee or chocolate as a whole is good for you, never! Instead they say that one particular ingredient is good for you. No matter how the big companies twist or turn it, one is very clear to many scientist and specialists – coffee is unhealthy!
What are some of the experts and doctors saying?
Caffeine does not provide energy—only chemical stimulation. The perceived “energy” comes from the body’s struggle to adapt to increased blood levels of stress hormones (adrenaline). In most cases, this induced emergency state leads to well-defined side effects collectively known as caffeinism. Ironically, caffeinism is characterized by fatigue. Caffeine Blues By Stephen Cherniske MS, page 10
Everybody “knows” that caffeine makes you more alert and clearheaded. Think again. A cup of coffee gives you a wakeup jolt because it triggers a stress response. Your adrenal glands are prompted to kick out the same stress hormones that are released when you perceive an external threat or danger. Your muscles tense, your blood sugar elevates for extra energy, your pulse and respiration rates speed up, and your state of alertness increases so you’re ready to wrestle with or run from environmental dangers. You may be only sitting at your table or desk drinking a cup of coffee, but your body doesn’t know that. It’s preparing for action. The Memory Solution by Dr Julian Whitaker, page 261
I particularly recommend that you avoid caffeine. What caffeine actually does is set off a stress response. It stimulates your adrenal glands to make epinephrine and norepinephrine—the same stress hormones that are produced in response to any stressor. This sets the stress response in motion, causing tense muscles, elevated blood sugar, and increased pulse and respiration. You may feel mentally sharper because your brain is high on adrenaline. It’s ready to rumble. One cup of coffee for most people isn’t damaging. But as you may recall from our discussion of the three stages of the stress response, if stress hormones remain elevated, the body is thrown into a state of chronic stress. By sipping on coffee, tea, or caffeinated soda all day long, you are forcing your adrenal glands to continue to pump out stress hormones.The Memory Solution by Dr Julian Whitaker, page 165
Caffeine and nicotine overstimulate the adrenal glands. When these substances, other stressors, and a generally poor diet are combined, the adrenals can enter into a state of emergency. They become depleted of important vitamins, such as B-complex vitamins and vitamin C. Complete Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing by Gary Null PhD, page 233
Cut your coffee, black tea, chocolate and soda intake down to ONE serving a day at first! As you cut coffee and caffeine slowly, you should eliminate it altogether. Coffee is elevating your insulin level and spikes blood sugar. High blood sugar is known to lead to sugar and food cravings! Coffee is also known to aggravate the stomach lining and cause mild to severe symptoms. Eliminate coffee all together and drink more water or herbal teas instead. You will also save about $1000 a year skipping the coffee shop. Don’t be surprised if your body reacts to the caffeine detox with day-long headache.
Dangers of caffeine could be an eBook on its own, there is just so much to write and even more to find out. Be smart and research the dangers of caffeine and coffee for yourself.
Again: Detox headaches are absolutely normal and medically nothing to worry about. If you can’t stand the headache anymore because of work responsibilities or housework, a small aspirin is known to help.
Until next week,

“Death Begins In The Colon”
Look at the picture on the left. How would you feel if long pieces of old toxin-filled fecal matter were stuck to the inside of your colon for months?
Would you feel constipated, bloated and lethargic? Would your bowels be irritated by this build-up day in and day out causing what we call G.I. dysmotility. Just think about what other problems toxic build-up like this can cause? Stomach pain and occasional constipation? Tiredness, Gas and bloating? Indigestion? Large protruding belly? Lack of sleep, irritation and restlessness? The list is almost endless. As the Vegetarian Times so aptly wrote:”Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one’s intestines is probably at the bottom of most people’s lists. Let’s face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don’t believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material.” – Vegetarian Times, March, 1998 The Truth About Colon Cleansing
You can stop suffering in silence by learning how body pollution and a toxic colon can be the cause of many common ailments.
