Dear Friend:

Thank you for your recent question concerning drinking coffee.

Coffee is a mild stimulant, which apparently is not harmful if used sparingly. Most people can tolerate and enjoy a moderate amount with no harmful effects. However, some people find that even a small amount causes nervousness, and they would probably be better off not to drink it at all. Neither should a person let coffee drinking become so necessary that the day is ruined if he does not have his coffee.

The same principle applies to tea.

If you would like to receive additional guidelines to maintaining good health, please request our free booklet entitled PRINCIPLES OF HEALTHFUL LIVING.

Whenever we can be of service, we hope you will let us know.
