[on the way...]

yes , the day can't pass by without coffee, you feel the walls are falling on you by afternoon. definitely your performance is at risk when you arn't drinking coffee ( I am talking about work ...). the subject has been for ever on studies , but I think it goes back to a general rule as long as you dont abuse it it shouldn't hurt you . keep in mind though that for some conditions such as heartburn and ulcers, even small amount of coffe can bother you .and for those on diets , coffee makes you hungry so it doesn't help !!

these are some recent studie's outlines in different areas , there are a lot more .....Hope you will find it helpful
