Cortisol IS THE STRESS HORMONE... it makes your body think you are in times of stress, so your body behaves like its stressed.... speaking of coming off hard and being full of shit...
I agree cortisol is the stress hormone. I even said that stress raises cortisol. I do not agree a cortisol shot will make someone stressed out. What you are saying is, if I inject cortisol, my brain will register that and make someone feel stressed out and irritable? No. Things don't always work both ways. When a person gets sick they have a fever, that doesn't mean raising someones body temp will make them sick.
Cortisol: it increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels and suppresses the immune system. Synthetic cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, is used as a drug mainly to fight allergies and inflammation.

So, everyone who gets a hyrocortisone shot will be depressed all the time? No, so drinking coffee will not make someone feel stressed out. Caffeine is normally associated with a euphoric feeling, so not only are you just wrong, you are exactly opposite.
And since I didn't take the time before to go after everything you said, assuming sherdoggers would just ignore it, I'll cover it now.
Additionally the antioxidant effect of coffee was stated, as I previously stated in another thread, because Americans get most of the antioxidants they get through coffee. The reason isn't because coffee has TONS of antioxidant effects, but since it is consumed in large quantities. So, if most Americans just stop drinking it they will lose on their main source of antioxidants.
Yes, 100 cups of coffee to protect a 70 kg person FROM RADIATION. The article you posted talked about coffee as a radioprotectant. Not one person even brought this up.
It makes your body acidic? You mean when coffee gets into your stomach, pH1, it can change the pH of your blood? No. The pH of the body has an EXTREMELY tight range, and it is very important for many biological processes. The pH of coffee is 4.9-5.2. Not that bad. Pepsi has a pH of 3.0 so that is even worse.
The caffeine in coffee helps mobilize fatty acids into the blood stream to give you energy. It also right shifts the fat and cho energy source so you use fat for a longer period of time. That does not make you fat, it helps you lose weight. Additionally it curbs your appetite and therefore you might eat less. This is why caffeine is the main ingredient to all weight loss drugs that work.
