How To Live? Without Coffee?

I had been to the dentist last Saturday. While my gums are okay, there are some things that I must dismiss from my diet. I was sniffing mentally as I walked out the clinic- though at the same time rejoicing for having had the most wonderful dental treatment I've had in this life. I said I was sniffing in my mind because I had to cut down on my coffee intake. Because...













Number one, because coffee stains the teeth and lips.
Number two, because coffee tends to flush out calcium from the body.
Number three, in relation to number two, when I had my bone density scanned, I was advised to drink more milk than coffee.

What is going on? During my pregnancy I had to beg my doctor to please allow me to drink coffee at least when my daughter was twelve weeks in utero. The kindly doctor gave me a go signal when I said, I will die if I will not drink coffee...
Now, this. My teeth are showing signs of too much coffee consumption. I had to cut down.

No problem. Now I'm having a new love affair with green tea. So far, I've lost a few pounds since the tea-drinking habit kicked off. I might retain it. For good.
