    This is even worse:

    BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!
    Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.

    Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

    Dihydrogen monoxide:

    · is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
    · contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
    · may cause severe burns.
    · contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
    · accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
    · may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
    · has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

    Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

    Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

    Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

    · as an industrial solvent and coolant.
    · in nuclear power plants.
    · in the production of styrofoam.
    · as a fire retardant.
    · in many forms of cruel animal research.
    · in the distribution of pesticides.
    · as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

    Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.

    Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

    The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

    yep its true, I'm not going to fight this argument

    BUT the way I see it is

    I'm a fat barsted, I'm a fat barsted becasue I ate the wrong foods, coffee has been a long part of who I am (those who know me know I love nothing better than an espresso on the back deck in the morning

    thats not going to change in a hurry, Ive been on this life style change since January 29 and Ive cut out alot of things almost compleatly and I'm doing reasonably well in staying off them

    Coffee will never be removed from my diet compleatly but my aim is to reduce it quite a bit

    but until then my typical day will start with a flat white, with breakfast, one when I hit the office and 2 espressos between say 10 & home time, weekends will be 2 flat whites on the deck in the morning and an espresso or 2 through out the afternoon and if I go out for dinner, nothing wrapes up an evening better than a GOOD espresso

    sorry but thats just how it is

    I guess that's why Starbucks doesn't sponsor an espresso drinking contest akin to the Nathan's hot dog contest.

    Relatively minor quantities of caffeine, as low as 10 grams - the same weight as four pennies, or two teaspoons of butter for comparison - is a lethal dose.

    A shot of espresso has 100mg of caffeine in it! That's one percent of the lethal dose.
    Also caffeine has a half life of 5 hours . . . so to get to a lethal dose you would only need to take 100 cups of espresso with an hour or two to keep pace with caffeine's half life.

    At two ounces per shot of espresso, that's only 200 ounces of fluid (a little more than a gallon and a half.) MFP recommends eight glasses of water a day and if they're 12 ounce glasses that means that you're only talking about 16 glasses of espresso which is only two times as much as MFP already says you should drink.

    If you're not alarmed yet, you will be now - - the water content alone of this quantity of espresso, ingested in this time frame, would cause hyponatremia - - the water dilutes the blood to the point that sodium levels tank and osmotic pressure on the rest of your bodily tissues forces water into them. Your brain swells with this water, and creates crushing pressures in your skull, so you die.

    Death, people. Death. There is no business more serious than this business. Please drink responsibly.

    With love,
    Burt


    I don't have time to drink 100 espressos a day...

    This is false...

    #1. Absolutely every single word of my post was true and an unquestioned fact. Should you have information that rebuts this, you will be in possession of new research that will turn the world on its rectals.

    #2. I am deeply grateful for everyone in this thread who understands these facts. Thank you guys so much for your support and good luck keeping safe out there.

    #3. To all those people who want to make a mockery of this thread, I say, do what you want. Enter Starbucks' annual "Coffee Chug" that GreekJack spoke about. But don't come crying to me when you're dead and can't cry.

    With love,
    Burt
