Thank you guys for an interesting topic. How about this information? Norwegian and Swedish cardiologists and nutritionists believe that using a filter when making coffee is directly linked to longevity.
Unfiltered coffee contains substances that raise blood cholesterol levels. Using a filter removes them and reduces the likelihood of heart attacks and premature death. So says Doug Thel, lead author of the study from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden).
The scientists also concluded that drinking filtered coffee is healthier than not drinking coffee at all. The study found that those who drank one to four cups of filtered coffee a day had the lowest mortality rate.
According to the American Heart Association, filtered coffee improves mental focus and performance, and boosts mood.
The study was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

I love my coffee, but since the second vaccine shot I've had to drop my intake. For some reason my caffeine tolerance has gone to almost zero. I usually had 2 roughly 8 ounce cups in the morning, but down to one, and I think I need to end that also.
I wasn't sure if I was having a heart issue for awhile after the second shot. I went in for a physical a few months after and did the 12 hour fast for lab work, with no coffee the entire day, and I felt great all day. Didn't think about it and had usual coffee the next day and again was thinking I maybe having a heart attack. After that I stopped completely and felt great again. I went back to one cup and not as strong a feeling, but enough that I think I am going to be giving up coffee.
Sucks!

I quit coffee cold-turkey about 20 years ago when all of a sudden, my 5-6 cup-per day habit caused some weird sensations one morning at work, and I got light-headed, weak and dizzy. Have not had a cup since. I don't miss it much, but maybe that is because I have the cigs to keep me viced up on mind-alteration, heh.
Lol, I was thinking micro dosing shrooms or LSD as a substitute. I have quit coffee during the week because the effects were interfering with my ability to focus trading, but still having a cup in the morning on weekends.
There's always decaf? Yeah, it has a tiny bit of caffeine in it, but maybe it could be an alternative? That would be a very interesting test.
If your heart races with decaf, it would be telling I think.
It is an experiment for science!
