Hi Meri --
<<Does coffee have any AD properties??>>
I think I've seen something showing that women who drink 1-2 cups a day overall show less tendency to depression, or some such. I know that for me, if I've had a little coffee in the AM I'll feel surprisingly buoyant later on in the day. The problem with me for coffee is that over time (like a week or so) I seem to edge-over from happy to ... I don't know what to call it, but I get angry with myself for small things, like spilling something or tripping or whatever, just little everyday occurrences. So for me, I have to go "off" coffee for long periods of time. Oh and I tend to drink low-caffeine, when I do drink it -- either decaf, or espresso, which has less caffeine that regular drip coffee.
Hope this helps -- others can give more scientific accounts, I'm sure.
