Coffee or not? The choice to have coffee in the mornings is nigh

[csziggy]

7. For the last several years I have limited my coffee to my morning cup

But over the last year as my heart problems were being diagnosed, the time for that morning cup had been difficult to budget. Often I waited until after my medical appointments and had a cup with lunch after the appointments were over.

My cardiologists have all questioned the use of caffeine - though I limit my intake to fourteen ounces of coffee once a day - even though I have not had problems with fast or irregular heat beats. Every one of the cardiologists go through a litany "Limit use of caffeine, use less salt, cut your fat intake." That's even though my blood pressure has been generally well controlled, my LDL/HDL ratio is great, and my cholesterol numbers are fantastic.

I'll do some research into coffee's antioxidants though one of the last articles I read about antioxidants suggested they were overrated for their health benefits.

Thanks!
