I'm currently doing something I never thought I'd do...

I refuse to compromise on strength or flavour, so I'm down to a measly two cups a day. Heart-rate hitting 170 after 10 minutes on the bike, coupled with piss-poor recovery times has prompted me to investigate this.

[...] "Prevention (of the Helicobacter pylori) * Don't smoke or quit smoking. * Reduce stress and practice relaxation techiniques. * Limit coffee intake to no more than three cups per day." Limit coffee intake! That's the ticket!

Pylori, while it may cause ulcers, also helps to regulate the levels of stomach acid, and that the recent rise in the number of cases of acid reflux disease may be linkable to treatment of peptic ulcers with antibiotics... When somebody asks you to trade your freedom for security, it isn't your security they're talking about.
