Several cups of decaf coffee a day....

Hey guys i know caffeine and any stimulant releases cortisol. What about decaf coffee i know there is like 10mg's per cup of caffeine in it but i wouldnt thinkt hat would be enough to effect anything. I love the taste of black coffee but i dont wanna be wired and jittery all day so im thinking decaf might be good for me. Coffee is actually good for you isnt it? Lots of antioxidants or something, cant remember. Anyone else drink alot of coffee but dont want all the caffeine?

i LOVE the taste of coffee, so yes i drink it whenever i have the urge.

ive come to find that the more i drink the more i poop LOL

i drink it stricktly for the caffiene. a 'cup' has about 200mg of caffeine. cup being six oz, not eight.

Really? I haven't heard that before. It's no wonder I have such a problem with caffeine then. I try not to get any caffeine if I can help it because I react very strongly to it.

yeah its my understanding that any kind of stimulant causes stress which in turn causes the body to release cortisol. May not be an astounding amount but i know its not advised if you dont really need it.
