Slamming Caffeine? New Theory?       04/08/04 06:24 AM Edit Reply Quote Flamingguts Reged: 03/30/04 Posts: 11 Thinking about the American diet...The average American or European has probably consumed large amoounts of caffeine daily--since high school. I knew guys in aerospace engineering who would slam 8-10 cups a day of coffee. Some drank CONTINUOUS coffee. The cup was never empty... Maybe the nerves in the small & large bowel become "oversensitized" to the artificial stimulation of...caffeine? So then--they become overresponsive to ANY food which causes a large gastro response (fats or non-soluble fiber). Anybody know the percentage of IBS in the true Mormon population...who don't ingest caffeine? WHY the low fraction of IBS in African & Asian (tea drinking) populations?? Is it just the fiber?
