Doctors recommend undergoing an evaluation of your diet, sleep patterns, and water intake with the help of your doctor when attempting to kick the caffeine habit. Of course, if your sleep or diet is suffering, fatigue and low energy levels are a natural bodily reaction. Increasing your intake of water throughout the day can actually help accelerate your metabolic system, leaving you more energized and alert, without the “crash” that caffeine is known to cause.

I am going to check out your references as I see this as a topic that is far from settled in the health/food industry. Personally, I don't drink much of it and when I do it's the real stuff (not decaf). Thanks Marcia for the insightful remark.

In addition, coffee is heavily sprayed. (Ninety-two pesticides are applied to its leaves.) Diuretic properties of caffeine cause potassium and other minerals to be flushed from the body. All this fear went away when I quit, and it was a book that inspired me to do it called The Truth About Caffeine by Marina Kushner. There are five things I liked about this book: 1) It details--thoroughly--the ways in which caffeine may damage your health. 2) It reveals the damage that coffee does to the environment. Specifically, coffee was once grown in the shade, so that trees were left in place. Then sun coffee was introduced, allowing greater yields but contributing to the destruction of rain forests. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. 3) It explains how best to go off coffee. This is important. If you try cold turkey, as most people probably do, the withdrawal symptoms will likely drive you right back to coffee. 4) Helped me find a great resource for the latest studies at CaffeineAwareness.org 5) Also, if you drink decaf you won’t want to miss this special free report on the dangers of decaf available at www.soyfee.com Coffee puts the system under the strain of metabolizing a deadly acid-forming drug, depositing its insoluble cellulose, which cements the wall of the liver, causing this vital organ to swell to twice its proper size.
