My doctor has told me not to have any caffiene due to heart arrythymias (V-tach and V-fib)--I never drank much--just one cup in the morning--I have cut this out and am miserable. Can I ever have a cup of coffee again?<BR/><BR/>BTW--great podcast--thanks!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14833129354819564010noreply@blogger.com
