Why do people freak out about letting younger people drink coffee, but they’re fine with sugary caffeinated sodas? People are goofy.

I'm 65 and drink at least a 12 cup pot of coffee every day and have for years. Sometimes have to make a second pot if company comes by. My mother will be 100 years old next month and has drank coffee all her life. So did my father who lived to 91. I'll keep drinking my coffee.

By the way, being short is not a bad thing. I am only 5'3" and I weigh 115 lbs. I am 79 and I take no pharmaceutical drugs. I am energetic and accomplish a huge amount every single day. I am an artist and I grow an organic garden which requires a lot of hard work. I drink coffee every morning.

When I was a preteen, there was a sweet elderly black man who worked for my dad in our family convenience store. Everybody called him "Major". Major was like a grandfather to me and my older brother and younger sister. Every morning my dad would always make a pot of strong coffee for he and Major to sip on. One Saturday morning, while I was hanging out at the store, I got a cup of coffee in one of those white foam cups. Major spotted me siping on it and came over and whispered to me, "That coffee is gonna make you black as I is, if you keep drinking it." I think about his words every time I drink coffee. I miss you Major.

If loving coffee is wrong, I don't wanna be right...😁❤

Cuban here, and I was weaned from the bottle directly to a sippy cup of Cuban coffee.

Thank You Dr. Berry…. I am a registered Nurse since 1985 and have worked the night shift the majority of those years. I easily drink at least three to four cups of coffee a night and on my off days. I can honestly say it keeps me alert and awake at night for me to care for my patients.

I've quit a 17-year nicotine addiction and three years of intense alcohol use. Coffee is the most addictive thing I have experience with. I'm rating in terms of how much personal willpower it takes to stay off it, how many times I have fallen off the wagon, and how important it seems to me to get it regularly. I think people should be careful with substances that are so addictive.

I used to drink oceans of coffee. It drove me crazy. I gave up drinking coffee 10 months ago. That was not a joke. I learned the meaning of going "cold turkey". For three days I had a terrible head ache and I was shaking & shivering. Now I don't miss coffee and I sleep like a baby, which is great.

Coffee is bad... Chocolate is bad... Orgasms are bad... Fresh air is bad.. Keto is bad.. wearing white after labor day is bad. I mean, when does it end!?? 😅😅

Thank you Dr Berry for busting up these preposterous myths!

[DrSee-mmzw]

My dad drank pots of coffee all day long. He was 89 when the VA helped him pass.

[robertdinicola]

Very informative as usual. The facts will set you free. This man doesn’t know me but in 8 days my type2 diabetes is in check like you wouldn’t believe. My numbers are great! Dr. Berry’s videos are great. Get the facts and save your life!!!

My grandparents came to USA from Germany. They loved their coffee. Morning and afternoon. My grandfather was 98 when he passed away and my grandmother was 96. I love my coffee. Bring it on

My mother gave me coffee as a hyper four year old on the advice of her mother. My two year old was a pinball wizard until I started him on it. I find coffee to be calming, not energizing. I generally drink 2 to3 cups of coffee per day. One or two of those are fortified with MCT oil, or cream or butter depending on the time of day. I do not find it to be dehydrating or unnerving, and honestly, it allows certain family members to continue their existence (my in-laws shall remain nameless to protect the innocent; me). Love your channel and advice, thank you always.

I'm on Day 7 of carnivore. For the first 3 days I went without coffee as well and I felt miserable, which I anticipated, but my weight didn't change. On the 4th day I broke down and brought back the coffee, and the next day I was down 3 pounds, cravings subsided, and only the body aches remained at night. I had no idea coffee helped you enter ketosis! Today is also the first day my brain fog is starting to lift. Feeling so much better and glad I didn't give up even though I wanted to. Your videos have helped keep me on track. Thank you so much.

I’m a coffee roaster and coffee shop owner and I’m so thankful I came across this video! It will be going up on my website! Lol!

[Ketocrittle]

I don’t even see in color ‘til about the second cup!!

[lisawilliams]

Love Dr. Berry. He gets straight to the point using medical language we can all understand

Speaking as a carnivore… I’ve found that coffee does increase cortisol and stress because caffeine is a plant neurotoxin. I’ve lost more weight by getting off coffee and caffeine, and I’ve heard the same for others. I also stopped grinding my teeth after I stopped drinking coffee. Coffee gave me cravings for more food, which I theorize has to do with the increased stress it causes, which does influence blood sugar. Without coffee, now I can do OMAD where as before, coffee would spark my appetite within an hour or so of consumption. The fact is, stress is a hidden factor for a lot of people’s weight issues. Coffee also makes me pee more which tells me how the stress mechanism is so deep and internal. And the perceived energy and alertness that one gets from coffee can be easily interpreted as stress or mild paranoia rather than positive energy itself. Also, by removing coffee, I’m also not dehydrated anymore and desire to drink water now, which has a huge influence on my health.

Bottom line. Stopping coffee and caffeine was the best move I’ve ever made.

Thank you Dr. Barry - especially for your endorsement of the carnivore diet - which has been helping me so much. I now drink hot water from my ex-coffee mug and pretend it's coffee. That way I still "enjoy my coffee" without any of its questionable effects. Bottom line, coffee is a plant that I don't need any more. But the mug, the warmth, the liquid, the ritual of comfort - those are keepers. Sometimes I add butter and a few grains of celtic sea salt.
