can't go through the day without it...

I wish I could. Like I said I don't remember exactly which journal it was. This was about a year ago or so I read it.

I do remember that although they were unable to pin point why exactly they thought coffee was making the muscles perform better, their working theory was that it made the individual muscle fibres fire harder and/or faster. If I have some time later I'll see if I can search it out online.

Definitely, I would love to read it. Caffeine by itself is also said to have the same effects as you state as well. Cool read none the less.

The movement in that image actually makes me incredibly nauseous .. yikes!

Yeah, thats kinda a lil to far pass crazy to buy that one

:) nice effect. I drink it but never at home, I don't like to make coffee.

yet 20 000 times less harmful.. imagine that?

I'm married to a native Japanese woman, so she picks up most of the teas we drink, and the labels are usually in Japanese:

In the summer I love cold Barley tea (Mugicha), but most of the time I drink traditional hot Japanese green tea, although I change things up with Chinese and English teas from time to time, as well as some of the newer hybrid blends:

why not drink some tea or coffee instead and get some beneficial flavanoids along with the caffeine?
