I have really cut back my consumption of caffeine in the past 6 months, mostly due to the fact that I was having great difficulty sleeping at night, and eliminating caffeine after about noon has really helped. That said, I don't see a problem with caffeine for the most part. There are plenty of other legal foods out there that are just as bad, if not worse for you. Do you like potato chips? Full of fat and salt. Cookies? High fructose corn syrup and trans fats. The key is moderation; just like alcohol, which is "bad" for you, some tea or coffee is actually good for you. Should everything that is bad for you be illegal?
