Read somewhere recently that strong black coffee is good for you, but can't remember why!! I love coffee and drink loads of it, doesn't seem to do me any harm.

If you drink too much doesn't it keep you awake and give you sleep problems because of the caffeine?

Coffee.......with half milk?...black coffee...latte (whatever that is)....naaah! unless you drank more than 4 cups of coffee a day, i cannot see any permanent bodily damages.

The Americans drink it like it is going out of fashion.

4 a day? Bu99er. That's nothing! I drink decaff, except in the mornings. Caffeine is used in creams. I think it's supposed to be good for your skin- but that's applying it. If it's enough to make look nervous, you might need to cut down or change to decaff.

Most days I drink about eight mugs (of instant) coffee a day and have done for most of my adult life (approx 50 yrs.) without any adverse effects so don't worry. Then again, I can sleep on a clothes line, so.......

I have been drinking coffee for nearly 60 years and I am told that I look younger than I actually am. Never had teenage spots either.
