man, hope your Mom can keep her standard of living up.

Actually, I'm not sure why you thought switching to tea was an alternative. Yeah- tea usually has more caffeine than coffee.

Anywho, there was an Oprah show a LONG time ago I caught. It was pretty interesting. Some doctors did a book long term study of what things efected life span both in a good way and a bad way.

Excersise increased life span the most and they had a woman who was like 70 yrs old come out doing yoga and flexing herself all around.

They went over a lot of common things people eat/drink/do and when they got to coffee everyone was ready for bad news.

Surprise- it did not reduce life span or increase it. Oprah was like 'thank you, lord'.

Now, I think most people have shit coffee every day. If you get a nice capresso machine and some kona beans- it's almost like exercising every morning.

Isn't there some test you can have if this is in your gene's?
