- The most controversial opinion of them all: Coffee doesn't love you back!
Check out this week's installment of Controversial Thoughts in which I offer my ideas about whether you should include coffee in your animal-based diet.
Ok, let's admit that's a fantasy. Most of you are just going to respond in the comments that you'll never give up coffee and that I must hate babies or your puppy to suggest such a ludicrous thing, but you won't watch the video. Suit yourself. You asked for a video on why you might not want to drink that cup of coffee and I did it.
Don't worry, I still love you all even if you keep drinking your coffee! I do think you'll be better off without it, however. At least get some organs into your diet, and eliminate the most toxic plants, and for the love of god cut out those seed oils!
It's not too late to join us for the #AnimalBased30 day reset to get your January and 2021 on track! www.AnimalBased30.com. Looks like the year might just be another wild ride. Buckle up and eat your organs!

Quitting coffee and all caffeine was a one of my best dietary changes. Much better sleep, digestion & elimination, less anxiety, clearer thinking, more emotional control, etc.
Wow, that’s intense
Yyyyyep!
I had the same experience. Well done!
Same here :)
I quit coffee over 10 years ago, and eventually, quit all caffeine. Coffee was really doing me harm. Quitting tea didn't have a noticeable affect, but I don't miss it.
Alright fine, I'll quit drinking coffee. Jeez Paul, you're ruining everything for me. Except my quality of life, I guess you've improved that!
Lol 😆 he has a way of doing so
In same boat I know it must go but I am soooo addicted 😢! My son said, “just give it up, I went cold turkey, felt bad for a couple of days and now I feel fine”, and I said, “thats great but you haven’t just given everything else up”, felt sorry for self, but on the other hand, I feel 10/20 years younger on this woe, so…..I’m telling myself “stop complaining already, just give up the damn stuff, maybe feel 30 years younger, and take those nasty acrylamides out of your life, for longevity..” big sigh, you know when your own brain is against you carrying on with something, v hard to fight your own mainframe computer logic, 😆 here goes…… X☕️ ☑️ 💧 😬
@@michaeldavidson2510 it’s going really badly ha ha but I have switched to less coffee with less caffeine ….. small steps for this caffeine addict. You’re doing a darn sight better than me, well done! 👍
Lol
Yes, gotta just do it. I have, not so much a coffee set-up, but a coffee lab with ten way to brew and test. Tough to throw it all out. Dang.
Oh no. Oh no. I'm not ready yet. I gave up smoking, drinking, adderall and recreational drugs. I gave up sugar and carbs and binge eating and one day, I may give up caffeine. But I'm not ready yet man. Thank you for telling the truth. Even if we're not there yet. We're only getting better and better.
Dang, good for you for being able to quit all that stuff!
wow good job man, yes keep the coffee for now..some people need some happiness java cup ;o)
Hush 😂😂😂
Same
I gave up a lot of addictions. I kept caffeine around the longest. But it wasn't because it's the hardest habit to kick. I can quit it without any side effects. It's more a psychological addiction maybe. That is different with sugar which, to my mind, is one of the most addictive drugs around.
Thanks Paul , this info is priceless. I quit coffee like 2 years ago because of anxiety. I felt amazing. I lost my stubborn belly . I have no idea why I started drinking it again . Would always feel like crap . I quit again and feel better just after two days . I told my doctor I quit coffee and told me I was crazy . Our health system is a scam . They are hindering our true potential from birth . Every system we have in place is designed to keep us fat , stupid and lazy . Why the fuck is this the way we operate. Just sad . Makes me sad .
Completely agree with you.. It's what they call (The matrix control system)
I quit coffee, had headaches for 3 days, felt depressed and unmotivated 😢. It took me almost 2 weeks to feel normal. The addiction is real.
This channel is a treasure. Truth is pain, which is why many deny it, but it’s worth it in the end. Thanks Paul.
I appreciate this video. Coffee is a huge trigger for me. Currently on day 3 of no coffee. 🙌🏼
How did it go?
I am convinced but oh that headache........
Wow! That’s awesome!
I am a recovering addict. I think quitting coffee will be as hard as any drug I've ever put down. I ha e scoured the web trying to find an excuse to still drink it and adhere to the Carnivore lifestyle. Alas, the community is too strong and honest so I guess I will have to abstain. It's like losing a friend for me.
Your right about everything! While I was caring for my Wife in the end of her Ovarian Cancer I had to be up to care for her and started drinking coffee. I originally went on Keto/ carnivore to try to save her- the Warburg effect and all.Her Oncologist never heard of the Warburg effect and told my Wife to drink shakes and I called him Megeli,
Then my Wife died and I switched to green tea and within one week had B1 deficiency syndrome!! Figured that out 1 hour before my Doctor and tests confirmed it. Took some brewers yeast and B complex and headache went away overnight. The pain in my entire body went away a few days after that.
I also have had Degenerative Disc Disease for 35 years and need more oxycodone during the caffeinated period! Never touch the stuff anymore.Being in ketosis is like a cocaine feeling without the side effects!
Love you channel☮️
Sorry about your wife, she was lucky to have you next to her. Hope you're well, Thomas.
This is the kind of focused content that is really helpful for people. Thanks for making these controversial thoughts videos.
I appreciate the finish of this video... "I'm not a fan of coffee, I still love you all."
Lol, this is going to trigger a lot of people...
Yea I’m one of them. I don’t like this guy anymore 😂 😂
Agree... Especially when its kinda stretching the true and honestly wish he would also show the many many studies of no issues with what he is talking about. Little Bias and hypothetical statements. I typically like his take on things. Let down...
@@heath202 because you are immediately trying to rationalise your caffeine addiction
Caffeine Blues and other such books showed me the harms of my caffeine consumption. I've tried quitting before, but quitting it just before starting carnivore eating has made it effortless. I feel immensely better now.
I think the fact that coffee interferes with vitamin D absorption is the one that concerns me the most. Having a good Vitamine D status is so critical in the functioning of your body and immune system in many ways.
I'm about to hit 4 weeks off coffee/espresso. It is mind blowing how much it affects your body. I feel like a completely different person. I sleep more (8 hours) and wake up feeling really refreshed. My energy is balanced throughout the day. My mood is better and I don't get upset over stupid things. My chest feels like it's looser and it's easier to breath. I don't burp all the time. I don't have heartburn. Sometimes I actually get a boost and feel energy from eating food. I'm never drinking that crap again for the rest of my life.
Caffeine releases dopamine, which makes me feel happier and improves my mood. Organic, dark roast, at low temp brewing method.
Sounds awesome, I'm weening off and will be soon completely caffeine free. Did you get any gnarly withdrawals?
KING!! GOOD JOB !we need to open a group\channel of all the coffee haters... the ones that used to drink this garbage for years , few cops a day nonstop and now are free people again...its like smoking and sugar .. its an addictive poison
@@joebobmarley2854 you are addicted sir.. i loved it too ... but once you quit cold turkey you understand that coffee is fake and you better off without it
thats what i miss. ive never been able to eat food and feel energized. i just feel run down. even when eating stuff like grass fed meat, organs, raw honey etc. maybe caffeine is the culprit?
I am blown away by the information/research on your channel and website! I feel like I FINALLY found a reliable source for information about optimal health and human nutrition. Thank you!
I am someone who reads the scientific studies as well, THANK YOU for linking them along with other reputable sources, so I can check them out myself.
Ive been on the fence about giving it up. I guess this was the push I needed. Its not horribly hard for me (I gave it up for 2 months this summer after having knee surgery) I agree about it being a crutch but for me its more about the flavor, the aroma, the warmth... So comforting. I'll miss you my friend.
finally, a doctor that admits that coffee is bad!
Studies all
The time say it’s good then it’s bad then it’s good.
It's also been shown to lower many risk factors such as liver disease.
@@joebobmarley2854 I doubt it
@@user-ul8vf6cw2d how do they benefit?
Well.. guess i’ll still be deinking coffee, but with guilt
Eh..I drink 2 strong double espressos a day and I feel great, sleep great. It's fine if you're fine
lol
@@thestuff4321 until you get cancer because of the build up of toxins in your body.
@@theteenageexperiment1356 🙄 You stressing over something so trivial will kill you long before I get cancer from 2 cups of coffee
Try decaf.
I gave up coffee as an experiment at the beginning of January, for World Carnivore Month. Though the initial week was rough, I don't miss it. I also don't miss the digestive stress nor the anxiety nor jittery feeling when I wanted some and couldn't get any. It really felt like kicking a drug addiction. One pleasant side effect I've noticed (and I'm not sure whether it comes purely from kicking coffee, or from going carnivore) is that I have zero body odor. I've stopped using antiperspirant. Even at the gym, I don't stink! Life without coffee is cool.
I noticed my body odour is minimal after going carnivore and I still drink 3 espressos every morning. So, I conclude it must be the carnivore that has done this.
I quit coffee and then I had a cup and within one hour I could hardly turn my head. My neck muscles became so stiff. That was a quick reminder of why I quit coffee in the first place.
I never realised how hard it was to give up coffee until I tried to give it up. My brain literally hurts to not drink it. It is a drug!
@ProjectTuring that's how you know it ain't good. I'm trying to replace the habit with a healthier drink. Raw a2 milk from Somerset. I drink so much of it I get full and I don't bother with the coffee. Though I have slipped a few times. It's hard but if I can give up smoking I know I can do this!
@@andrewburnett2581 Can I get access to that milk?
Why not give up food as well? Your stomach will hurt not to eat it. Please keep an open mind. Hunters (and hunter gatherers) did and would have 100% consumed coffee if they had access to it, as they did with many other stimulants.
@@imalamboman12 food is fuel. Coffee is not fuel, it is not calories. So your argument is a false equivalence.
Coffee restricts your blood vessels; so when you quit coffee your head throbs because the normal blood flow is returning to your brain.
After watching this video I decided to quit my one cup a day coffee. Today is day two and feel better then yesterday, day one.
I can’t believe how horribly I felt yesterday and still today, this really shows how powerful coffee effects my body.
Even with just one cup a day u experienced bad withdrawals??? Have you stayed off the coffee? Let me know.... About to take the plunge
currently on day 2 no coffee (had been having just 1 per day) and its a struggle@@pete801
Interesting. I finished giving up coffee and any other caffeinated drinks about a month ago. I'm already carnivore ( about a year and a half ). I tapered how much I was drinking by putting less in the cup and diluting with water. No headaches. No problems. I don't miss it. I also think raw liver is better tasting than cooked liver. Great video!
Raw liver does have a better taste. Texture might be too much for some.
@@johnkane9472 yep. I cut a 2 oz piece into small pieces. I give it a couple of chews and down it goes. I like raw egg yolks, too.
👍🏾
Yep, diced raw liver is much easier to tolerate than cooked liver.
Raw 💙👍
Ok I'm convinced. Now please do a video on how to transition away from coffee. What to do/take for energy support and withdrawl symptons. Any suggestions GREATLY welcomed and appreciated. Thank you!
Start with reading all his comments, maybe... ?
Get yourself decaf and mix it 90 coffee/10 decaf for a few days, then 80/20, so on and so on
Thanks for your courage to expose the truth about coffee
You’re a hero, Dr Paul!
I resisted giving up coffee for decades. Finally managed to kick my 1-2 cups a day as a last resort 5 months ago. Within two weeks my iron levels tripled from a lifelong deficiency of well below acceptable minimums and as a result my energy levels FINALLY jumped up to what I consider ideal. This was after years of strong iron tablets that did nothing, and 6 months of carnivore with daily liver and red meat that also did nothing! Wonder what other minerals/vitamins I am now absorbing 😊
See my biological dad has hemochromatosis and I wonder if I have it therefore I need ways to lower my iron
As I noted myself, to improve health, is not about what kind of foods you add or eat more. It's about what you eliminate.
I think most modern diseases problems aren't because people a deficient and yes because they're chronically poisoning themselves.
Yup, tannins bind to iron. Tannins are extracted with heat. So brewing at lower temps can lower the tannins which bind iron. Cold brew extracts the least amount of tannins from coffee and tea. Matcha green tea is a nice alternative
Ferritin should be near the lower limit, it's one of the most reactive substances inside you. The recommended ferritin range is too high and ferritin is as important a biomarker as blood pressure. I never found that meat pushed it up much. To lower it you need to give blood.
@@Joao-ur7ey so true! eliminate all poison from life and you have super health... 1 month ago i quit sugar,caffein, smoking.alcohol [once in a while ill have a glass of wine] all together, bro changed my life... flipped all these toxins to tons of fruits.... my only challenge is to get grass fed beef and high quality eggs ,, but once i figure this out ,, i might get radical health like MR paul
You just blew my mind with the quote “borrowing tomorrow’s happiness today”
Is there acrylamide in tea?
no acrylamide, it is not cooked, just air dried
check out oxalic acid in tea
@@angelaj8958 Actually, some teas are roasted
Depending on what tea, you might have to worry about tannins and oxalates.
I like to say “stealing future energy for today”
I've been searching for better reasons than what I've been told, as to why I should stop drinking coffee with chronic fatigue, no one's been brave enough to make a video like this. Anyone should be able to respect that, whether they agree with you or not. I will continue to watch your videos, and you should be proud of yourself.
I didn't drink coffee for 30 years and started drinking it because I happened to be with advent coffee drinking people who couldn't go anywhere without stopping for some coffee and thought I might try it after hearing about the benefits. Lo-and-behold, loved the taste, loved the feeling of a warm cup in my hands mid-day as a kind of highlight and then a year later I started to get really sleepy after drinking it, and I noticed my energy levels were super low. Thank you for providing this video, I've been thinking I should just stop even if I do enjoy it; even tea, now; I think I will just stick with water (hopefully putting a lemon in it is okay).
I haven't had any coffee or alcohol since right before the new year. After going through a heavy detox period, I'm feeling great. Point blank I think it was ruining my sleep among other things. I'm on day two of a fast as well, continuing to feel great.
The funny thing is if you go to an antique shop and look at coffee cups from just a few decades ago, they're tiny! I think that up until the eighties people were drinking coffee in reasonable amounts. Then coffee underwent the same thing that happened to all foods and drinks in America, and got super-sized. And simultaneously, so did our waistlines and our health problems.
Pain receptors: This is quite different - I have known a guy since the 60's that about 25 yrs ago he discovered that drinking java actually reduced his pain a great deal, he injured his back considerably and came across this by accident. Organic etc of course. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Exactly. Coffee and caffeine have many different effects and benefits. Stimulates the Th1 or Th2 immune system. And much much more..
And yes, organic dark roast at lower brewing temps or cold brew for the cleanest coffee.
Coffee has magnesium and other vitamins as well. It helps us concentrate and there are many benefits to coffee. He is quite biased on the coffee.
@@robertlulek1634 meat has magnesium too.
Paul, I'd love to see a podcast on joint health. I'm seeing an increase in middle age joint replacements, including in people who were not heavy into exercises that might impact their joints. I'd like your perspectives on what may be contributing to this trend. Thanks!
Thank you for this information. Everybody talks about the health benefits of coffee, but never the flip side of the coin.
Thanks for the warning doc.
I as others are currently enjoying my morning coffee. I have a rule to not drink coffee after 10am; generally works for me. However I also have periods where I am off coffee. I do this a couple a times per year. I really enjoy the taste and the pause I impose while I drink my first morning coffee - and the taste is actually what pull me in again after a month not drinking coffee.
Thank you for the continued knowledge. I have been a huge coffee drinker for years. This has opened by eyes to many things I didn't know about coffee and how it could affect my body. I have taken the animalbased30 challenge! I am breaking long time habits in order to stay radical!. Thank you again.
Thank you so much, that is very valuable information.
You saved me! I was thinking about starting to drinki that stuff 🤢🤮. I'm very grateful for your time and effort.
I was looking for a video to convince me further to quit coffee.. this is IT! huge thanks
I recently stopped drinking coffee and feel so much better. I think Dr. Paul is right about coffee not being your friend. I feel free from the need to go to coffee shops and waste my time drinking coffee. 😆
This is exactly the thing I needed. I’ve decided to give up coffee which feels weird because I only started drinking it a few years ago. Stupid bulletproof coffee. I’m 48 and have always hated coffee. Stupid Dave Asprey. I didn’t even like cappuccino because it just tasted like coffee to me. I just ordered decaf with the intent of weening myself off of this crap. I wake up in the morning and coffee is the first thing I think about. I hate that feeling of something controlling me. So no more coffee for me. I’m going to replace it with a blended bone broth drink in the morning.
You could also try rooibos tea. No caffeine and no oxalates.
However, be careful with Rooibos tea, because it has a decent amount of fluoride in it. It has estrogen-mimicking compounds. And in large amounts, could harm the liver. (Please don’t be mad at me lol).
@@RashidaBlake According to this website (which is massively alarmist about fluoride consumption), rooibos tea varies between 0.0 and 0.1 parts per million in a cup. Not saying fluoride is a good thing, just that this is not enough to be concerned about.
truthaboutfluoride.com/fluoride-in-tea/
Regarding the estrogenic effects, this article is an interesting balanced view:
naturalife.org/natural-remedies/rooibos-tea-benefitsu
"Despite the rumors that are floating around, there’s very little evidence that it has an estrogenic effect.
There’s only one study from 2006 that found some compounds in rooibos tea to have estrogenic activity. But this was tested in a test tube using an estrogen ELISA assay. So there’s no way of telling whether it has an estrogenic effect in the body".
Cool 👍🏾

Substituting Coffee with Bone Broth and Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a great idea !
I quit coffee 15 yrs ago because I realized I was addicted to it and was costing me too much money. One of the best decisions I made. But I am even more glad that giving it up has many more benefits. Thank you Dr Paul for confirming my decision
Coffee is a drug. What is a drug? A substance that treats one symptom and causes another.
Thanks for posting this. I had quite coffee after watching your 1st video for a period of time and my chronic pain from HSD had diminished and become more manageable. Somehow I got back on it after traveling and exploring new coffee shops. Now my chronic pain has come back and it’s been difficult to manage it again and you’re making me realize it’s probably because of the coffee! I’m definitely going to get off coffee after watching this video and hopefully I can talk my mother (who also has a chronic pain condition) into doing it with me. Side note you could probably write an entire book on the subject which would be quite controversial but I think necessary for the health of so many people. You could talk about the history of coffee along with the studies you cite. I know I would read it and purchase a copy for all of my relatives.
I agree! Would love to see you do an interview with Thomas Delour on this.Influencers in the fasting culture are telling people to drink black coffee on an empty stomach. That alone is bad for you. Caused me like 2 years of recovery from taking that advice. No more coffee. Mostly meat and some fasting.
I found giving up coffee was helpful in several ways
I heard recently that drinking a cup of coffee is like standing in the way of a speeding train and getting out of the way just in time; in terms of what it does to your cortisol levels. Cant be good long term!
Makes you feel alive though 😆
😂😂😂
@@thestuff4321 being off of it long enough to adjust to not needing it makes you feel far more alive than you ever could on. Caffeine
Amen! Thank you for putting this out there. Been drinking g coffee since I was 6 years old. Hopelessly addicted. When I manage to quit for 6 months at a time or so and then... Embarassingly go back to it, I get SEVER Chronic constipation and SEVERE seborrheic dermatitis amongst many other bad side effects. My mother passed from gallbladder/intestinal cancer and she was always constipated too. She also drank coffee every day of her life. I know I'll stop for good soon.
Magnesium supplementation for constipation.
Great video, Dr Saladino. I never drank coffee aside from competition days a few times per year, using it as a legal performance enhancing drug (made me feel no pain from neck down, but also very jittery and unable to sleep afterwards). Lately, I've been reading a lot of onions that it is actually beneficial for health, so I thought of starting it on a regular basis. This video was super helpful. It's a crutch.
Great video! Please follow up with a tea segment, including herbal teas like raspberry leaf, elderberry, burdock, rosemary, ginger and/or ginkgo bobbio.
Thank you Paul. I can tell you truly want people to help themselves to be healthy
I used to drink half a dozen cups of coffee a day. Then I found out I am gluten sensitive, and found out that coffee is a cross sensitivity with gluten. I switched to tea to keep my brain functioning, and went off the wheat, dairy and coffee, and my IBS finally went away. If I keep my tea drinking down I sleep more deeply.
Do you have a reference for the cross sensitivity claim?
Also curious if you have a link to cross sensitivity
I KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT PAUL. BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT BEING WITHOUT COFFEE MAKE ME VERY SAD.
A day may come when my courage fails and I give up coffee, but IT IS NOT THIS DAY!
It’s all about the dose ... you can give up coffee ..and still enjoy 1 cup every Friday or Sunday ... no harm .. especially if your already carnivore and or fasting ... no need to limit yourself .. life is too short ..
I did try to cut off the caffeine stream for 2 weeks during my 1-month carnivore trial, but I found my functions were much slower, so I crawled back to it. Now that I've stuck to the carnivore diet for 4 months after the trial, will start eliminating coffee again tomorrow and see where things take.
First I was mad. Then I was sad. Then I poured the cold brew down the sink that was in my fridge. Thank you.

Totally agree! I was a huge offender myself working as a nurse doing long hours. I would easily drink a whole pot of coffee daily. Sometimes I would let the coffee sit for a day or longer, because I would think it would make the coffee stronger.
I’m still young but I started noticing my bones cracking all the time. Never related this fact to coffee. I decided to stop coffee for a while because I started abusing too much due nursing school. A few months later I was surprised that my bones stopped cranking and the dark under my eyes have gone. I wish I have known this earlier. I’m from Brazil and I have been drinking coffee all my life. Knowledge is power. Thanks for your videos🙏😘
Thanks for the breakdown. I just poured my morning coffee down the drain. I already track my HRV daily, so, it’ll be interesting to monitor my daily feedback during the next several weeks.
Biggest addiction was Diet Coke (up almost 4 L /day at one point)..almost all gone ( 20oz. every other day). Working on coffee..3 weeks into Carnivore. We come for the info. Appreciate how Dr. Paul doesn't sugar coat.
Giving up carbs is easy compared to giving up coffee!! Hell stopping beer is easy compared to coffee. Yeppers I still drink coffee.
Coffee is one of the strongest in addictive drugs out there.
@@Bacontats it sure is for me.
@@davidplyler8173 I need to get off coffee. If ever, just drink for special occasions. But yeah. Need to get off if.
Yes it is. I feel like shit after drinking coffee sometimes and still find it hard to give up. It's the habit of having something warm in the morning along with the morning ritual. I'm switching to very watered down coffee with collagen powder tomorrow. I hope i can give it up. Sometimes im not even tired in the morning.
I’m doing ALL the right things in my diet. Given up everything including all alcohol 2 years ago. But I love my coffee and will continue this so-called vice. I’m not about to let “perfect” get in the way of “very, very good”.
Totally agree! I've given up everything except for coffee as well. Giving up alcohol was the best decision I had made. However, I think this constant obsessive chase for a "perfect diet" ends up being more harmful from a psychological standpoint.
If it’s good for emotional health it’s worth it.
Oh wow. I really appreciate your honesty in all your videos…but this is gonna be the hardest sacrifice on this journey so far 😢
This is the one I've been dreading since going carnivore 1 year ago. 😔
I've given up everything else, except for coffee.
Great post. I've been drinking coffee since college, and it's time to quit for all the reasons you mentioned here. Even now I'm still surprised by the constant rationalization people do to excuse and minimize their caffeine addiction.
I've cut down to half a cup of coffee a day. Guess I'll cut that out and see how I feel. Still drinking my non caffeine tea, though.
I admit my problem of addiction and use it as a stimulant, as I seek spikes in this. I hope to replace this with a healthier morning discipline like pull-ups or a few heavy lifts. This plant, that hooked me a few years ago, is the only thing stopping me from full carnivore. I'm genuinely seeking help or encouragement in kicking it because I don't want anything dominating me, especially if it is a plant. I have trouble using it for a morning comfort, almost a last piece of freedom before work. I know it is weakness, but at least I'm serious about showing it the door. This vid has helped me. Thanks doc.
Hey, any updates? did you quit or reduce dose?
@@bianco215 yes. Thankfully I'm down to 1 a day, praise God. I did go cold turkey, but only lasted 6 days. I actually got a real sadness on day 6 that enveloped me, and a really low mood, which we attributed to withdrawal, so my wife and I decided if I can stick to 1 a day, without it dominating me, it wouldn't be terrible for me, and would likely benefit those around me too lol.
Thank you! Just quit the coffee ☕ today, after watching this! Let's see the benefits! Countdown began!!! ❤💙
Always appreciate your work! Lots of information there. Although I still doubt the acrylamide part, because the difference of coffee baking processes affects the acrylamide concentration. And the dose is another question: a toxic level to human need to be established. Animal model experiments usually use impractical doses when it is converted to human doses, not to mention that animal models sometimes show contradictory results to human experiments. Just like many "plant toxins" used by plants as pesticides may be toxic or lethal to bugs, but may be negligible in terms of dose to (at least part of) humans.
It’s been 2 months off caffeine. Great decision !
For four decades I have used caffeine pure caffeine in tablet form in the morning instead of coffee or tea, which irritate my gut. Works perfect and allows me to fine tune the dosage. I am full carnivore otherwise except some spices an condiments.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I've given up coffee before but never noticed enough of a change to stay quit. Why would I treat my body to quality products and then poison it with coffee. I like coffee. I'm going to quit.
Thanks so much for that, Paul. I've see-sawed with coffee due to mixed information (and i like it A LOT). But, i've known deep down it's NOT a health drink! Thanks for the confirmation and I'll be shifting to ginger tea. Please say that's ok!
Is ginger a root?
Coffee is my crutch, especially as a truck driver that has night shifts. I’ve also noticed that when I drink coffee after a certain amount of days it makes me very sleepy. I don’t know why that is. After this I’m not drinking it after my supply is done. Thanks Paul!!
There is some joy in the taste and smell of coffee but the primary purpose is as a caffeine carrier. Long term I need to wean off caffeine but short term, going to try minimizing antagonistic compounds and mycotoxins and just pop a caffeine pill every morning until I have a week off from work and quit my caffeine addiction.
Going to start weaning off of coffee and tea. For Lent I'll stop altogether. I acknowledge that I'll surely feel better, but it will be difficult. Thanks for the info
‘You can only borrow tomorrows happiness today until you run out of tomorrows.’ Wow, that escalated quickly.
I’d love for you to have a conversation with Dave Asprey!! I quit coffee awhile ago but Dave will have you thinking you should have at it daily. My Viome test said avoid coffee so I do, but it wasn’t easy. So many things to quit in my life. My whole family already thinks I’m a wacko when I can tell them what’s wrong with every food that put in their mouth. I even annoy my own self! Now I just have more to complain about when they drink coffee.
Dave is about 3 years older compared to Paul Saladino. But he looks easily 20 years older from his coffee diet.
And he sells it doesn’t he
For those that will never quit coffee, I suggest fasting for at least 72 hours three- four times a year. I heard that it will kill off any precancerous cells in the body through autophagy. And general detox.
Water fast or dry fast?
I'm going to drink my last few cups of coffee this morning, as I've just brewed it, and that will be it for coffee. I've jettisoned fruit, fruit juices, nearly all vegetables, industrial seed oils, all the awful grains, legumes and fast food. This is the last "food" on the list and it's gone tomorrow. This has been a one year process to arrive at this point. Coffee is out, too, Dr. Saladino. Thanks very much for your kind guidance. And keep up the brilliant work.
My wife drinks espresso coffee -three to four cups a day- and sleeps soundly all night both deep sleep and rem sleep. She is 72 and does not really know what a doctor looks like, that's how healthy she is and full of energy and never fatigued
OMG...such perfect timing! I was just agonizing about this topic because I love the taste of coffee but can tell it doesn't agree with me. I must have given it up a dozen times last year. I'm sticking with chaga mushroom tea for now, and tend to believe you that it probably isn't doing us any favors. (Also, every time I stopped drinking it I would get a day-long headache.)
Thanks for reinforcing my suspicions. Just saying no to coffee. 😭
Read Paul's second edition...
lol! it's addicting; so pick the least harmful vice.... enjoy your life - no guilt... the knowledge is so cherished! thank you Dr S!
I have been thinking of giving up coffee and dairy for a couple of months. I am carnivore with a little avocado on occasion. Your video just convinced me to at least give it a try and see if I feel even better as a result.
I knew I had a problem with coffee when I was so worried about my children spilling it. I used to get so upset when it was spilled. It just gets in the way!! It is one more thing calling my attention as a stay at home mom. I will spend less money and spend more time doing things that actually matter without it.
What about all the studies showing that coffee drinkers are healthier?
You didn’t even mention the negative psychological effects reviving us up like worker bees and having negative effects on our emotional intelligence. Finally a doctor has the courage to tell the truth about the negative effects of coffee.
I have been avoiding this health threatening life change for too long. There goes my morning ritual.
Do you really want to know just how coffee affects you? Do a 7 day dry fast to clean your system. You will reset your body to a truly natural condition. I recently completed my first 7 day dry fast and to my amazement my desire for coffee disappeared. Yes, I was much more relaxed and feeling good. I was a HUGE coffee drinker. Unfortunately, I did slip back to the morning coffee- mainly the bulletproof coffee morning routine - but I'm still drinking only 25% or less than I drank before. I think I'm going to cut out coffee again and replace my morning bulletproof coffee with bulletproof bone broth! Wish me luck, one more time with the withdrawal headache. You know you only really learn when you experience thing for yourself. Yep, Doc is correct...
7 day dry fast? Really no water for 7 days?
I could see doing water fast for 7 days.
That's the problem with all of this. 1 cup a day for most people is fine. 2+ it starts to cause the problems he mentions. The mold theory was blown out of the water with Asprey years ago.
@@artemishunter8993 The Phoenix Protocol. It's amazing!
@@FreedomLovin remember that asprey is an entrepreneur in the first place :) he is famous because of his coffee...
Paul, if I had to choose between 1 coffee a day and "some" chocolate, which should i choose?
Take the "Chocolate"!!!!!!
11:30 I agree with everything you’ve been talking about except honestly I just like the taste of coffee. I’m 100% satisfied just by having like 1/4 cup of coffee with that good strong taste. I wish it there was something that tastes exactly like coffee but doesn’t have all of the harmful effects.
I'm addicted to consuming something in the morning. I'm pretty confident I can go without the caffeine. Is there a coffee substitue that is healthier that's not say, green tea? Something with a more satisfying flavor? I guess the answer here would be bone broth , huh? But that has too many calories when attempting to extend a "fast."
I have a can of sparling water and a caffeine mint or two. Check out viters mints on Amazon. You can get timed release caffeine pills like those made by Genius brand if the mint part bothers you. No sugar.
On my list for 2021 to stop coffee for 30 days. I think coffee is such a last comfort for many of us who have removed everything else from our diets: no carbs, no sugars, no fruit, no veggies, no peanut butter . Having that coffee with butter and cream is a lingering pleasure. However, I am working on ways to reframe my thoughts - why would I want to hold on to something that could be sabotaging all my other efforts toward health and healing?
Oh No not the C word!
I covered my 90 YO dads ears... as he sipped on a cup (no meds his whole life)
Acrylymide Dad come on man....
Your lucky das has probably got longevity genes😁
Paula Samec pretty sure Das does have some good ole fashion jeans
He was a landscaper all his life
He actually still has a couple clients
Weak thesis... I drink decaf... no addiction there. No crutch.
When I stopped drinking coffee, my muscle cramps from magnesium deficiency went away. Coffee depletes magnesium in the body which is the main reason I stopped drinking it. I also have oxalate toxicity and magnesium helps with oxalate dumping symptoms. The other reasons to not be a coffee drinker are good too.
Just made coffee and remembered this talk. Got the courage to listen it.
I had to quit coffee to understand how crappy it actually made me feel, I still drink it sometimes on weekends. But it just makes me feel awful nowadays. I have been drinking a lot of coffee daily for +10 years, and it was tough thing to get rid of, but definitely worth it. 2 weeks of headache wasn't that much fun tho :D
