To sum up, you will make your life harder and will suffer from a deficiency in antioxidants unless you make an all-out effort to substitute for what you will forego by not consuming caffeine (even dark chocolate, a majorly healthful product, has a bit of caffeine).

I can't drink any tea at all (including decaf) because it pushes me so far up. Normally I don't mind elevated moods, but tea puts me in the "I can fly, let's tap dance in France" category.
What do you think of blueberries and grapes as an antioxidant source? I only ever drink water.
