Yes, I am addicted to two cups coffee (about 400mg) in the morning. If I don't have it I'm a mess.

Caffeine is a potent chemical with psychoactive effects that our body has absolutely no requirement for. Research has indicated that caffeine can interfere with our brain chemistry and therefore can be a factor in contributing to exacerbating stress, anxiety, panic, depression and insomnia. Caffeine stimulates the release of excess stress hormones via its stimulant effects on the adrenal glands. it stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin which lowers blood sugar so the body has to compensate by releasing stress hormones which cause the body to release energy, fat and glucose reserves to stabilize blood sugar levels.

I like to have a couple of cups of tea to wake me up in the morning and I usually have a coffee in the afternooon. I think caffeine in moderation is fine, but people can become addicted to it. Also, if you have a high intake and want to cut down, you need to wean yourself off gradually, otherwise you end up with headaches because your body is so used to it.

My stomach can't take much caffeine so if I need a little jolt in the morning I'll eat an apple.

Well it all depends. Cafine is used to stimulate awarenes in people. If your not so slepy it is best not to have it(coffes). If you drink coffe try decafinated, because too much cafine is Bad for oyu unless your doctor recoments it.
