Caffeine = cortisol = catabolism?

[ErikZ]

I am wondering how much caffeine a day would trigger drastic catabolic effects.
Does taking t-rex to strip off some of the fat trigger catabolism?
How many cups of coffee = the caffeine content of one cap of t-rex?

Questions questions questions...

caffeine in coffee is 47-167mg per 5oz serving, depends on how you fix it slow drip is the most and instant is the lowest

If caffiene does trigger cortisol (?), you could always offset this with some Vitamin C, at say 3g+ per day.

I'm not a doctor, but a quick google brought up this:

What I do know is that Vit C works best with bioflavanoids to increase uptake, and if it is timed relsease over say 8-12 hours, you will absorb more because its not all just pee'd out (its water soluble). Plus you only need to take it once/twice a day. Thought it was common knowledge... ?

I just did a PubMed search. It seems there is conflicting literature - some support it, some do not.

Needless to say, this was not in my endocrinology class in medical school. Then again, there is only so much that can be taught in a few weeks.

oxytocin is a cortisol suppressor..
