Thanks for all the tips everybody! I'll read that stuff about green tea, too, so thanks for the link, Mr. Hutchinson!

I must confess that I have acquired a taste for filter coffee since living in Germany (i.e. for the last 20 years) and I think it's highly likely that I'm addicted to it to some degree or other.

What are your opinions about the dangers of coffee? Should I try and detox and get off the caffeine? I have drunk it every day, 2 cups in the morning and 1 or 2 in the afternoon, for 20 years, so it's difficult to imagine going without it.

Look forward to hearing your opinions!
