Interesting about caffeine

[jtunderdog]

Ive always heard caffeine was a diuretic. We all have. I just read a study from a major university saying it does not cause dehydration. I thought some of you might find this interesting. I will try to dig it up again and if I can find the actual study I will put it up.

just because something is a diuretic doesnt always mean it will dehydrate you does it? sorry may be a dumb question but i know caffiene causes people to piss like pumas, so cant something still b a diuretic and not actualy cause dehydration

I've never heard of piss like pumas LOL!! I'm gonna use that one.

But I personally have never worried about it, anytime I take a caffeine containing product, i try to up my water. But I've never had an issue. Would like to see the study though if you can find it.

Every study I've ever seen or heard referrenced says it has diuretic properties. Hey JT, if you get a chance, read this months MM; there's a whole artical devoted to coffee and caffeine. I reccomend you read it, very interesting stuff in there and it sites recent studies.

i always drink plenty of weater so dont really think about it, but i doo pee more with more caffeine.

meh they say vitC is also but w/e
i guess a good safe alternative before a come is HIGH dose of VitC and some caffeine.
iv herd of people doing this that want to stay away from diuretic drugs.

I always thought of caffeine as a thermogenic not a diuretic. I read along time ago that the ratio of water to caffeine in coffee is nowhere high enough to cause dehydration.

im peeing like crazy after some coffee

That im positive is from the 12-16 oz of water intake not the caffeine.
