And the doctor is still alive?My doctor once told me I should give up drinking.
I told him, given the choice, I would rather continue drinking and see what happens.
That was 30 years ago.

I'm so blessed. I have numerous? heart issues since birth? but caffeine has little or no I'll effect on my heart rate/rythym. I had an ablation years ago after a mitral valve replacement. But I now only drink maybe 2 cups per day.True confession. I've been sneaking the occasional small cup of coffee. (Dont tell anyone). And it is to die for. And no ill effects. I realize how much I miss coffee. My cup is a bit bigger than an espresso cup and smaller than a regular cup. Probably holds 1/2 cup. I am afraid my once in a while foray back into coffee may send me on the slippery slope to 6 cups of espresso again.
This is what I have always believed. The biggest benefit for me is the absolute pleasure drinking coffee brings!Coffee in moderation has lots of benefits.
It is amazing how good that tiny cup of coffee tastes.Here's hoping you can continue to enjoy! It's just a matter of learning to love that small but cherished cup now and then.
Amen. And if that's all the benefit you get, who cares?It is amazing how good that tiny cup of coffee tastes.
I am sensitive to artificial ingredients in chewing gum. Honestly, check it out to see if you are too. Phenylephrine? I think that's what got me last time.I love coffee. But I've had to switch to one cup of decaf per day. Somehow regular coffee causes an arrhythmia of my heart.

I agreeYou can do it. I can see where 6 cups a day would be an issue. I have high blood pressure and some other issues but I allow myself my two cups of french press cafe au lait in the morning. If you feel comfortable drinking a couple in the morning with your paper, instead of downing them like water, take the time to sip them and savor them and limit yourself to two.
How are you doing with the eating/drinking window thing? I need a plan, or I will begin to pay physically for my lack of one.I've been limiting my coffee to my eating windows (1-5 hours) and water only the rest of the time (time-restricted eating). This keeps my coffee drinking down, and so it never affect my getting to sleep. Seems the nicotine in it has a half life and can make it hard to doze off at night.
