I've been very impressed by a certain subliminal fierceness, in the matter of whether to drink coffee or not- there are researchers who are now reporting that the result of studies confirms that doing so can increase one's lifespan... it's quite conceivable that the anti-oxidant effect of coffee helps people cope with air pollution, which I think is a more serious issue than we are led to believe! For some reason I would generally want to drink only decaf coffee, but actually do so only rarely- decaffeinated green tea is something I wouldn't bother with too much; I prefer the caffeinated... guarana is probably an excellent stimulant, I think. A book on the topic of "exotic herbs", written a little over a century ago, I think, listed coffee as exotic.
Damiana is very excellent, and has great medicinal potency; MACA, a new rain forest product, sounds so good I'm going to try some! Ma Huang, Ephedra, AKA Mormon Tea is very good, I think- a tiny bit better they've illegalized it's use in herbal supplements, though, I think; this might be a cultural problem, related to the dangerously high level of competition, heavy emphasis on sports and athletics (and competitively), etc... it has been traditionally highly prized for medicinal value by the Chinese.
Paul Twitchel, a great writer on spiritual and health topics, didn't think much of coffee, it would seem- he extolls the benefits of dandelion coffee, relatedly-something I've tried but have forgotten about- I'm going to try it again! You will note the researchers will stay away from topics like this, generally. Around the time rubber, petroleum products and pills were coming onto the scene, some time back, a generally tendency to put money on pills, the new pharmaceutical technology industry, began to develop...

This thought comes to mind, as relevant- the epoch in which dandelion tea was more popular was a Yellow Earth aeon, by a certain Taoist school delineation method; coffee is more of a Green Wood herb, which is the type of aeon we are in at present, and have been for some time... Dandelion is more a Yellow Earth herb than coffee, I think! The next such aeon will be a Bloodstone Tree one- possibly Birch Tree herb will become popular, then!
Individual years are also designated in this way- by my calendar this is a White Water year... and a Year Of The Wild Boar.

It's the Bean Man!! I've finally put my finger on why I don't really like coffee! I don't eat beans- the excuse I give people, if necessary, is that we ate too many beans, as children... The ancient greeks did not forbid beans- except before and during sacred festivals. There is an entity, called The Bean Man, with whom beans can correctly be attributed- a somewhat, or slightly in-the-negative entity; in terms of goodness, neither at Neutral nor above, in other words. Beans also have an attribution in the Middling, at the same time... An example of another Middling entity is the snake; rhinocerous and others, too.
I believe I'm correct, if you sprout pinto or similar beans, they are no longer of The Bean Man! They can be simmered for 20-25 minutes, and seasoned, then...
I also don't eat pork anymore- we actually did used to feast on pork, as at holidays, when I was young; I actually believe there is something a little baneful about the meat, and I don't think it's suitable for feasting on. Not so the wild, or feral pig, however! That's a different critter!
I also avoid eggplant, as there is an undesirable attribution with that vegetable, too- I've coined the term The Eggplant God, chiefly to refer to the illusory, Kal god; false god of social reforms- and phony gurus, too!

I'm sorry- Birch Tree would be better classified as a White Earth tree, by that Nine Elements Taoist method; the Banyon tree is a good example of a Bloodstone Tree tree....

I think that Taoist Nine Elements classification doctrine has broad range of applications; in terms of aeons of time, I believe it's better not to think in terms of less than Nine Year cycles, one for each year - a well known application; that is, it's most potent when thought of in such terms, 9-Year cycles or greater.
The New Aeon, called Aquarius, is I believe generally a Red Metal aeon (each zodiac aeon is about 2160 years); the Old, associated with Pisces, Black Earth. The former I would attribute more with the Conservative Party, politically, incidentally; the latter, with the Liberal.
As regards associations which the term Red Metal might bring up in our minds, such as Iron, Steel; perhaps Copper or Gold- this is an excellent way to try and understand, but actually I think these metals would all be a little better attributed elsewise, on that scale...

Black Beans are a completely different matter, happily! They are not of The Bean Man, and in fact would be better called by some other name than "beans"! Actually, like corn they should be considered sacred.
Corn has been recognized as sacred to Demeter, or Ceres. One slightly divisive issue in America, I've noted, between different areas, is that people of some areas are naturally more attuned with, and like Ceres more... probably, the position of that asteroid in their birth horoscope would reflect this issue, in some way, I think! Chicago may not be a good city, or area even, for those who have a natural simulation with Ceres- it's not exactly the "farm center" of the Midwest! Ceres is also the goddess of growing things, generally- natural medicine doesn't flourish in that region, perhaps... In some of the suburbs, people plant gardens right next to the train tracks- I don't think this is good at all, if you're going to eat what you grow, there! The Farmers' Market comes around to most suburbs, periodically- I think this is great! In that region, I have to comment, corn chips seem to be very popular- I don't think this is as good as fresh corn, or even canned (canned food often gets a bad rap by natural health authorities, which I don't think it really deserves... there is the salt issue, with most, true- some people, who head for the natural vegetables section in the grocery store, accordingly, in my opinion might actually do better to buy canned- for example someone born under an Air sign, like Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio; they tend to be too "airy", and the health energy the "fresh" gives them could actually possibly contribute to a health problem, through a hyper-activation tendency.)

That is actually a very good sect of belief/practice, those who eat fresh vegetables only, religiously, perhaps raw as much as possible... most who are "of that faith" want organic or at least natural vegetables. The religious belief is something like, Eat the food which is living, that you may have life; frozen (or canned, as they might say too) is dead food. This is really very good, such practise, unless there's a contraindication of some sort! I think many yoga instructors in outer urban areas advocate this. Raw vegetables contain very healthful enymes, which are destroyed in the cooking process. There could be a contraindication for Epicurean Types- they may not be able to stand the absence of pleasure in eating and could become too unhappy. There's nothing wrong with a dietary Middle Way, which includes both. The enzymatic benefits are also reduced by things like drinking cola, the same hour...
Even better, I think, might be to "eat" the sayings, more abstract, which resemble this one prototypically, such as the gnostic Jesus' "Those who are corpse-eaters become dead themselves; you should be life-eaters..."! However, one of the primary incumbent traits of the Adamic race is that they should eat meat- as much as you need, only, is of course ideal. Vegetarianism is more contraindicated for a great many; scientifically, there are enzyme issues which demonstrate this. Eating an animal which you've just obtained, in the best way, is actually the best- there's no real reason to have a negative viewpoint on hunting; rudimentary issues seem far removed from the minds of this epoch, but the interest might be increasing, some! The valuation of being a tiller of the soil, too... Necessity or practicality drives people to hunt with guns, a recent development of this Age Of Iron; in this, caution to do your very best, not to attract bad luck or karma with shoddy ethics or extravagance is important! You could experience affliction by inobservance or coarse heavy-handedness in such matters.

I just had this idea, and I'm convinced it's correct: If you will sprout coffee beans first, and let them grow a bit, then just as with pinto, adzuki and other beans, you will sever the connection, or attribution with The Bean Man! This is as I mentioned not necessary with Black Beans, which do not have this attribution. I would think that probably you would want to mush them up after sprouting, then some sort of filter could be used to keep the mush out of the drink...

Coffee, and anything of The Bean Man, is one of the absolutely worst things in causing what professionals are causing Erectile Dysfunction... I'll bet that research could prove this, easily.
