What part of no decaf don't you understand?

Straight from the horse's mouth, as long as that horse is named The American Heart Assocation:

Decaffeinated — not caffeinated — coffee may cause an increase in harmful LDL cholesterol by increasing a specific type of blood fat linked to the metabolic syndrome, hints a new study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2005.

Not just for the weak and shiftless...decaf is now the drink of choice...for people who want to commit suicide very, very slowly. And we now have science to back us up on that. So booyah.

Spazzstick

While our collective of crazies is called Needcoffee, we have always said that we don't care how you get your 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione in you. So we looked with pleasure at Yes, it's a lip balm with caffeine.Spazzstick.

Of course, this has limited appeal to the Needcoffee crew since most of us live in places where winter is a blink and you miss it affair. But with the caffeine and the two tasty flavors, Vanilla Toffee or Cool Mint, kissing could become even more stimulating. This product will definitely not disturb the sexy.

Energy Fiend, A Site After Our Own Hearts

MetaFilter gave us a link to this nifty little utility, which will take your favorite caffeinated beverage and calculate how much of it it would take to kill you. Handy.

And we started looking through the rest of the site, Energy Fiend, and we like their attitude. Here, check out this defense of energy drinks:

Why the tirades? I'm sick of old people who have never tried the drinks telling us they don't work. I know, I know people that know, and I know people that know people that know energy drinks work. I get a better buzz than coffee, it tastes better, and, frankly, we kick more ass than you.

They also have a handy guide to energy drink ingredients and a sweet guide to caffeine content.

And we found a pointer to another site's list of coffee-related holidays.

I love the Net.
