Coffee and Caffeine FAQ

I believe that espresso is highly addictive and I believe caffeine is the culprit of my chronic pain. I was diagnosed with bone inflammation and it is very painful. I'm only 36. After doing research on the web I found out that it is caused from an acidic diet and stress. Caffeine causes both! I have a pretty good diet but was up to 6 shots of espresso per day! Now, I'm weaning off...something like the 95% thing, but I'm not calculating exactly. And now I am on a strict alkaline diet because anti-inflammatory drugs don't work for the back pain anymore. Hopefully I can reverse the damage before it becomes a chronic disease. Coffee is yummy, but should be treated carefully, like alcohol or cigarrettes. 2 shots of espresso in the morning on an empty stomach was were it all started for me!
