What is something you need to stop doing? STAT?

I feel that .. thank you 

Find ones that are sugar free, and go that route.  Sugar may be a huge contender, but acid producing foods are what causes the inflammation, not sugar alone.  Coffee is a big deal.

Sugar is the single most inflammatory food.  It is not a group.  To say acidic foods is to suggest a group of foods that can be discussed as to acidity and therefore, possible inflammatory issues.  With sugar, it's a sure thing. 

Both coffee and black tea actually protect against inflammation.  There is plenty of research to support this; there was a study released earlier this year from Stanford supporting the benefits of coffee when it comes to inflammation.  Also, this:  Coffee, which contains polyphenols and other anti-inflammatory compounds, may protect against inflammation, as well.  https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/foods-that-fight-inflammation This post was edited by Thriftymaid at April 3, 2021 4:02 AM MDT

I've studied nutrition all my life.  You are preaching to the choir.   I am not here to debate how much worse one is than the other.

Coffee is dangerous and acid producing.  So is sugar.  If you drink one and don't eat the other, good for you.  You can still get all kinds of bad effects.

So, who cares?  Avoid them both and you will be better off sometimes, because everyone's body and system is different.  Trust me.  I can eat sugar and someone else can eat half as much as I do and get diabetes.

I can drink pots of coffee and someone else can develop pancreatic cancer from it.  So it is silly to debate what is worse and what percent of anything is worse than anything else.

I had given up all sugar except what is found naturally in fruit,  for about 7 Months before the holidays... I fell off wagon at Christmas. I'm going to give it up again soon,  but first i have to eat a whole key lime pie. I guess I will buy one this week then. 

Did you feel better when off of the sugar.  I'm older than you are and I know that my body feels better when I eat no or little sugar.  I just love sweets and have let it go way too long.  

I felt so good once off  sugar, and honestly only takes about two weeks to lose all cravings for it. 

I think we all need that :)

Lol :)

I find it hard to believe you curse.. learn something new about you then :)

Carry on as you are then ;)

Try NRT. Worked for me.

What is that?

Nicotine replacement therapy. Delivers a preset amount of nicotine subdermally via a skin patch, to offset the cravings. Wean yourself slowly.

I can think of something  better I would rather use to replace it.

Won't stop the cravings, the receptors that respond to THC aren't the same ones thst are triggered by nicotine.
