My DR said I should drink 2 cups of caffinated coffeee a day. YAY for ME! {from coffee, sodas are just plain TOXIC} caffine is a *broncho-dialator*. Meaning it increases blood flow to lungs and opens breathing passages slightly. Good for me. Plus the whatever acid in coffeee is beneficial for the heart. & I _really_ appreciate the energy boost as otherwise I have no motivation to even get out of bed. Extreme fatigue being a temporary symptom for me now.
Yea, there's good/bad reports on everything in the world. The key is staying aligned with nature and using moderation in all things. I always look at my ancestors. Did they do this 100-1000 years ago? yes? then it'll prob be ok for me too..... They certainly did NOT have pop-tarts, coke and McDonalds then. ;)
