We all know that one of the most powerful chemical compounds found in both coffee and tea is caffeine. Has caffeine become an important part of your daily life? Did you know that a consumption of coffee that ranges between four and seven cups a day can provoke problems such as anxiety, headaches and stress, not to mention many others?

No matter your answer, read the words below and think some more about your own addiction to caffeine.

Caffeine is actually an organic nitrogenous compound from the alkaloid group. Found in many plants, a deadly dose of caffeine would be 10 grams. Contrary to what you might expect, excessive consumption of caffeine will cause not hyper-stimulation, but instead a slowdown in the nervous system, and even fatigue.

A peaceful, non-controversial topic, isn´t it?

And to answer the question in the title: Yes, I am.

Oh me too - at least 6 cups a day.  But I can drink it really late at night and it never keeps me awake.

Shall we start a TC-online-detox-clinic? Two ´patients´ are already here. Or is that asking for trouble?

Ouh good topic!

I love coffee so much that I limit it to evenings mostly and drink herb tea during the day, otherwise I would be completely addicted and dehydrated!  When I DO drink coffee I make sure it is only the best!  To drink a cup of instant or cheap coffee is a waste of good caffeine

 You are not completely addicted? Then you are not allowed in the TC-detox!

 If I promise to drink more, can I join your TCD gang?

Of course. But we need proof! So post a picture of you with a full coffee mug in your hand please, otherwise the balloting committee will vote against.

I haven´t drank caffeine in 4 years...and I don´t miss it.

 Well, you know I don´t like posting pictures of myself, but ok ok just this once

(It was taken early this morning).

It looks more like Trudy than like you What happened to your blonde hair

 Offfffff you people are never satisfied

OK OK here is the REAL me - before and after drinking coffee

 Ok, first level taken. The Committee Of Checking Fraudulent Pictures (COCFP) will take over now.

 OK OK first one was fake, I admit it

The second one REALLY IS ME!!!!!!!

 Hey, hey, my hair is not blond, only my mind/character!! 

 Hey hey!  This comment is blondist and insulting.  I feel personally insulted.  ADMIN! ADMIN! ADMIN delete this post

 Sorry, there is a shortage of admins, wait in line for your turn for deleting posts please. Your number is 269643 and number 76 is being served now.

You made me laugh out loud

Let me remind you that our change of rules only regarded ´personal´ insults.

Is this a joke?

no, not a joke... and I´m assuming yours wasn´t a joke either... I thought you were not sure about that!

 Ours was quite clearly a joke - has this now become some kind of fascist regime now?

First: a deep, deep sigh

Second: If I insulted you or your blondness, TheA., I appologise!

 First: a deep deep sigh.

Second:  You could never insult me personally Trudy as we do not know eachother.  And I enjoyed the fun today thank you

 You are a very scary woman, indeed!  I still sneak in my one cup in the morning but the rest of the day is herbal tea
