helwenI do differ with the site I posted earlier (list of inflammatory foodstuffs), which claims that caffeine is inflammatory. Perhaps in large quantities, and/or a lot at one time, but in fact caffeine is an anti-inflammatory -- and darn useful for folks with asthma or achey muscles. Of course, what form of caffeine is perhaps a better question.
Black tea can be hard on you in large quantities (damaging to the liver I think?) and should be balanced with drinking other fluids. Coffee I have no idea except that I personally cannot drink it in the morning because it makes me nauseous. Caffeine is also in some anti-inflammatory medications, btw....
My personal choice is green tea. I have a cup in the morning, and sometimes one later in the day. I try not to have it too close to going to bed, as it can make me rather a bit warmer than I like. It doesn't keep me up at night, perhaps because I don't have a lot of it.
