Are there any down sides to drinking coffee? If so what? Obviously the Lattee is something that should be avoided but coffee with something like splenda or equate and nonfat - nondairy creamer.. Is that ok?

"recent research suggests that coffee may prevent cavities. And a well-timed cup of Joe cna cure a headache, improve alertness and boost athletic performance. Preliminary research also has found that those who consume 1 to 3 cups of coffee daily are up to 50% less likely to develop Parkinson's disease. Once [thought to be] a threat to breasts, bones and heart, coffee has been vincicated in all 3 respects." Sept 2004 M&F Hers
Just watch those purchased drinks as they have lots of calories...

I heard it can hurt insulin sensitivity and that it's a diuretic...nothing else though.

Caffeine is addictive, and when I stopped the first sign is headaches...hench the cure when you drink it.... I now use a juicer to replace the am Caffeine fix...try this 3 apples and 1/4 lemon wedge..taste like lemon aid and jacks you up without the caffeine and headach withdrawal.... works for me...

you feel like shit from caffeine withdrawals
i just take the pills....it's faster and i don't have to prepare it.

In active, healthy people there is really no negative side effect. A friend of mine who works for the post office (walks all day for a living) drinks about 1.5 pots of coffee a day (and a lot of water). She told me that at her last check up the doctor said "You must not drink coffee very often." 
That's all of the proof I need right there.
On a sidenote: I have been around her when she hasn't had a cup in a while... SUPER bitch. Thank god she doesn't unleash on me.

around 20 minutes.
I set my alarm so it goes off, I wake up, pop a 200 mg caffiene pill, go back to sleep.
hit snooze once or twice more and I don't even want to lay in bed anymore, I'm up and ready to go.
I just figure skip the middleman, be it coffee or diet pop with caffeine or whatever. No calories and you get the same kick
the effect is totally dependent on how much you take. they say a cup of coffee is 100 mg of caffiene. so 1 pill is equal to 2 cups of coffee. Base a dosage off that

You don't take ephedrine HCL with?
They have a nice synergistic effect
I have before.....it seemed to work well. I was being pretty sloppy with the diet at the time so can't draw any real conclusions.....
I just have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and sometimes staying awake in class. A caffiene pill can help....it's alot more convenient that cup of coffee. though coffee is delicous
