I have an even greater heresay... the few times I have tried coffee, and I
LOVE the aroma of coffee, it has either made me ill or caused my blood sugar
to go haywire and plummet.  This even includes the flavored coffees.  Due to
this, I will never attempt to drink coffee again, although I do love to be
around it and smell it.
