Is coffee good or bad for you?

michaelj80 · 07-30-2009, 01:38 AM

Moderation is the key. Statistics and studies can generally be skewed to "prove" anything one way or the other. I have known people that can drink coffee at night and sleep like a baby. I have seen a guy drink coffee after 5 pm and not be able to sleep. It is up to the individual and how it effects them. Nowadays it seems that everything kills you so again I say moderation, moderation, moderation.

Shana_Adam · 07-30-2009, 06:24 PM

Coffee is a drug. it contains caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee or tea is worse

Hell if it wasn't I wouldn't be addicted to tea.

Ive had like 8 cups today - its my one vice!

really want to give up tea but I caaaaaaannnnnntttt

stncws · 08-03-2009, 10:37 AM

i am drinking coffee almost everyday, i feel ok after drink it. Coffee is for health too !

rocketmail009 · 08-03-2009, 10:57 AM

Coffee has recently been found to contain some very important antioxidants that prevent cancer and attack free radicals in your body. I would say that was good. Caffiene is good for your skin. However, like anything else, you can go overboard, so drink up in moderation and enjoy your coffee! Godloveya.

I dont drink coffee.. I dont really like it. I go for tea...

I never knew that coffee helps in reducing the disease mentioned. I drink 1-2 cups per day, so I won't stress about it. I normally drink coffee while i am making my follow up calls in the afternoon.

Coffee is physically addictive. Those of you that drink coffee, don't have a cup tomorrow morning and see how you feel.

Then come back and tell me with a straight face that it is good for you.

Coffee is the beverage of the gods. Nobody gets between me and my early morning/mid morning/late morning/afternoon/ early afternoon/etc.etc.etc. coffee....

Coffee is devasting to my focus, energy and motivation.

Yet I must drink at least 1 every day.

coffee is relative for me. if i consumed a little of coffee, it is useful for our body. and if i consumed large of coffee, it is bad for me

vinku · 08-06-2009, 07:26 AM

I take 3 cup coffee daily it help me fresh my mind to restart my work..

Juris · 08-06-2009, 08:23 AM

Dude marijuana is more healthy than coffee... and less addictive..
I`m drinking it really rarely, but I really don`t think that it does some good for you..

if someone wants to find out more about this amazingly "bad" plant (marry jane...) which one you can use to cure cancer, manke bio fuel, make clothes and it`s even eatable and drop all your stereotipes i suggest that all of you download a movie "The Union Business Behind Getting High"

Karen Connell · 08-06-2009, 09:10 AM

.

I might just have to go and flog myself now for being an addict!

I was brought up on coffee and have never missed a day (that I can remember) of regular coffee drinking.

I have a machine that is on the go from the minute I wake up until I go to bed. I probably drink in excess of a dozen cups a day.

I am probably one of the lucky ones but I have never been ill, had high blood pressure etc, etc,.

In fact, I am the healthiest person I know!

One mans poison and all that...

Now, pass me a coffee please.

Karen

liaochin2k9 · 08-07-2009, 01:30 AM

Actualy, coffee is good for digestion, but the caffeine is also pump our heart slightly harder. So I just limited to drink coffee only two times daily.

jpjameson · 08-13-2009, 06:37 AM

Caffeine can do so nasty stuff to the body. don't get me wrong I love me some cup a Joe. I find that if I have been drinking too much of it over a period of time I get nasty headaches.

netalab · 08-14-2009, 02:00 AM

yes, it's true that Coffee is rich in antioxidant which is really good for our body.
but, of course too much drinking of coffee is also not good for your body.

niklasgroup · 08-14-2009, 02:22 AM

there is no relevant scientific proof that coffee has its bad effect in our body. It's really depend on how much coffee do you put in your cup. we have this saying that everything that is much is too bad.weigh to balance everything is the best possible solution!

dking88 · 08-14-2009, 06:26 PM

it depends on the coffee but most if it is bad! lol

Tyvan · 08-14-2009, 06:39 PM

Good in small doses, bad in large ones. =)

Paul Ho · 08-15-2009, 03:38 AM

Well as with everything else in life.. moderation and balance is key.. coffee is one of those hugely in debate topics with no end in sight like does Vit C cure the common cold and the like.. After a while you just wanna give up and do your own thing..

shaunwu · 08-15-2009, 05:55 AM

Oh yes, I do agree with workingmamma, moderation is the key to every intake. Too much healthy food but no exercise is not healthy... Always exercising but no healthy eating is no good too.

Moderation, Be Balanced, Be Yin & Yang!

bluelambda · 08-15-2009, 09:49 AM

I'm like totally addicted to coffee... who cares if it's good (or not) for you.

nim3 · 08-15-2009, 09:54 AM

coffee = bad

coke = good

Kazooli · 08-15-2009, 01:17 PM

Is Coffee good or bad for your health? Can Coffee help you concentrate?
Back in my Psychology Masters' Degree I remember reading an experiment that was done on spiders. They compared LSD, Cannabis and Caffeine to see the effect that these may have on the spiders' web creation. The results were as follow: Spiders on LSD created extremely complex patterns, those in cannabis started great but never finished their webs and those on caffeine were with the most mistakes been made.

Sincerely
Kazooli

''This experiment is by no means an example to be used in real life situations with humans or animals. This is NOT a suggestion neither a comparison to which of the three substances mentioned above is the best. Drugs and stimulants are bad for you!''

Chris Faraday · 08-15-2009, 09:24 PM

Not what you want to hear about moderation:

Even a little coffee 1st thing is know to elevate LDL Cholestral all day.
This throws of your symphony of hormones off, which run everything.

As mentioned, coffee is both toxic, harsh & acidic (hence the breath deal)
This leaches you of alkaline minerals (i.e. we are all starved for.
LDL is there because you arteries are getting burned or at least irritated & inflamed. NOT good...

We should share ideas as how to better get Magnesium & calcium back into our bodies - and not with pills or "tablets." And staying alkaline. Learn about pH your life depends on it. Yeah, yeah, the 100 old cigar smoking boozhound - great genes maybe but our genes are actually getting weaker.
Uhhhh... hello: child obesity & adult onset diabetes

On the other hand Coffee is beautifully aromatic - definitely has some benifits. Coffee in enemas (eeeewwwe gross) is incredible for the liver & detoxification. That's my next evolution.

Personally I like cacao - still not ideal but you get super focused & alert.

Green tea is great - make sure waters & showers are chlorine free as it makes green tea mutagenic.

Learn about Hydration, alkalinity & minerals (coffee antagonizes all three)

If you must - balance your diet with alkaline foods, greens, cellery & grapefruit. If you can buy Phour salts from phmiracle.com (cheezy package - but amazing product to keep you alkaline regardless.

Mercola.com another good site. Was #1 for natural health sites at one point
He's pretty good. And if you can "body ecology diet" rocks by Donna Gates

Hope I didn't upset anyone here going on & all...

PS: Alkalinity cuts stress way down, slows aging & accelerates attention

Good Luck

Paul Ho · 08-16-2009, 01:16 AM

Well.. balance is key i think.. anyway i'd rather drink tea.. no one complains about tea being bad.. haha.

It is right that there should be balance in anything.

Maryleena · 08-16-2009, 02:12 PM

Have you ever heard of placebo?
If someone tells you that cofee is good...it is and vice versa.

But again: moderation is the way to go...don't drink moore than 2-3 cups a day. But the longer you have been drinkink it, the moore your body is used to it and can handel moore of it!

Marlene

sunsoftsystem · 08-17-2009, 11:12 AM

Tea is better then Coffee, all of them bad when you consume more then limit, the limit is differ person to person so, you know your limit

Bill Grieger · 08-17-2009, 11:42 AM

To each his/her own. I, on the other hand, believe coffee is not good for you. Caffine and other additives that it contains are addictive and harmful to your health. If you need it to stay awake, get more sleep. If you need it to feel like you have more energy, start working out more. If you drink it because you like it, use moderation. Anything that gives you withdrawals is obviously not good for your body and health. Use your head. Take care of yourself because nobody else will.

Take care,
Bill Grieger

rego · 08-17-2009, 12:27 PM

All my life I heard that drinking coffee was not good for our health!
However, recently, I read some scientific studies which stated that coffee ingestion is very good on preventing diabetes, Parkinson disease, dementia, Alzheimer disease, fighting asthma attacks, increasing the state of alert and it has a great antioxidant activity.

We must not forget, though, that coffee contains cafeine and that cafeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, which can cause insomnia, headaches, anxiety, dizziness and vertigo. It is also a strong diuretic for some people and it can cause physical dependence (4 or more cups a day)!

So, the keyword is: moderation. Drink it but don't abuse it!

Personally, I enjoy drinking coffee... just the taste of it... I don't feel any side effects!

Equinoxx · 08-17-2009, 12:32 PM

Too much of anything is good for nothing. Personally, I prefer tea to coffee. The latter has much caffeine content.

You_MakeMoney · 08-18-2009, 07:54 PM

I once drank over a period of time so much coffee that my liver got sick from it

That was 3 liters a day! Now I drink much less coffee about 2 or 3 cups.
But I still do love every aspect of coffee!

MattRobson · 08-19-2009, 04:43 PM

I think using this stuff in the morning is gross, on an empty stomach, I would hate that. Both the feeling in your stomach and your head getting a rush, while you are still hungry.

Even with breakfast it's just not right.

I have been known to enjoy a vanilla latte, or some of those cold mocha or vanilla iced packaged drinks from starbucks, I usually add like 30% more milk since they are too sweet.

I kind of like these at dinner time, or at night, to feel more focused or as a digestif, maybe slight pick-me-up, Not really to deal with being totally tired.

Not the kind of person who goes on benders of coffee, but, I used to be pretty into soft drinks, still love sugar.

Been drinking tons of cold black tea lately with honey.

Preben Frenning · 08-19-2009, 05:25 PM

I haven't read all replies here, but I know a few things about coffee:

1. It's good for meetings, sales situations etc. as people are *a bit* more likely to accept offers when they drink coffee.
2. 2-3 cups a day, has many advantages, but also a few disadvantages. I think it's approximately 50/50 pros/cons, but more than that is just bad. (I read a pretty difuse article in mens health, where they really draw no other conclusion than saying more than 3 cups is bad)
3. I'm pretty sure I had more point when I started to write... Better get some coffee

JB · 08-19-2009, 05:54 PM

Word of warning, I used to drink 8 large cups of brewed coffee per day at a high stress job. I started to get palpitations at first then this turned into panic attacks. I quit coffee completely and the feeling went away plus my stress went down. Now if I even have one cup I can end up getting major jitters, like I became caffeine intolerant all of a sudden. Decaf is the way to go if you want the antioxidants without the nasty sides.

chtfld · 08-19-2009, 06:04 PM

Coffee is awesome - it helps me get up, get to work and focus in on things....unless I drink too much. My threshold is about 2-3 cups a day. Anything more than that and yeah, everyone's statements on moderation are dead on.

I have a friend who works with me sometimes who is the walking dead without his coffee. Can't even talk to him on the phone. I've been there myself (not keen on going back).

Kate B · 08-19-2009, 06:27 PM

[QUOTE=genieofwealth;822237]hi,

make sure that your artificial sweetener isn't Aspartame.

seriously you need to kick this as it is used in all or most diet products.

I agree!! Aspartame is nasty, horrible stuff. I've got a medical condition where my body doesn't break down phenylalanine and Aspartame is like poison to me (proverbially speaking). Its one thing I'm actually scared of, and not without good reason - it makes me feel really, really ill within less than half an hour. However, having done some reasearch into Aspartame it turns out that it's like poison to everyone else too! My family and husband have stopped having anything with Aspartame in it and they feel a lot better for it. When you google it, or even Aspartame Poisoning, some of the stuff that comes up is terrifying. Makes me thankful I can't have it, even if it does mean I have to read the label of pretty much everything I buy when I do the groceries!

On the coffee note, I think anything (within reason obviously) is fine in moderation. Personally I drink 1 - 2 cups of coffee a day and never any more. Sometimes I won't drink any for months on end. I also go through phases where I drink a lot of herbal teas. I've noticed I am drinking coffee more regularly at the moment as I'm trying to lose weight and am thus trying very hard to kick my coca cola habit!

Crystal brian · 08-19-2009, 09:12 PM

I couldn't develop the taste for coffee.

Steve-K · 08-24-2009, 04:17 PM

I think it depends upon the individual. Drinking coffee in moderation is probably very safe.

aussieroo1 · 08-24-2009, 09:30 PM

I love drinking more than 1 cup per day, but I follow the "No coffee after 4" rule or else I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Drew_MX · 08-24-2009, 10:10 PM

Eventually your body will rely on caffeine to retain normal energy levels if you consume too much. Coffee is bad in my opinion. Red bull is a much better alternative- just joking

janvera · 08-26-2009, 04:21 AM

The only thing I can say for sure is that coffee will be your friend when you can't afford to sleep on a given night. As for health risks, the gurus who say its bad may be right.

I find that coffe is good for me, it helps wake me up, puts me in a good mood, and motivates me to get goin on the things I need to do much quicker with no hesitation! I'm still alive & doin fine! I may drink 2 20 oz mugs a day, but usually just 1! Always get the fatfree french vanilla cappacino, even healthier!

elonblock · 08-26-2009, 11:53 AM

Personally I like coffee and like a lot of of others have already mentioned "everything in moderation".

There was a movie called Supersize me where a guy went on a 30 day McDonald's Binge and ended up with some pretty scary health problems and weight gain within the 30 days. But then again, he was literally living on the stuff for 3-4 meals a day.

What else would you expect to happen?

A cup of coffee or two daily, black, with some raw sugar is enough for me. Anything more than that I get the shakes.

jokarl · 08-26-2009, 02:31 PM

I feel that im a lot more focused after drinking coffee. As long as you dont overdo it i think its good. 1 glass of wine a day is also good

MyFortuneNow · 08-26-2009, 03:00 PM

If you're looking for the less caffine but the same affect I would suggest Tea. I used to drink coffee and it began not effecting me as much. So I switched to tea and I love it. It still keeps me focused without the bad breath. Hope that helped.

Ajeet · 08-26-2009, 04:09 PM

What I do not like about coffee is that it seems to get people addicted. Dependence can never be a good thing.

Hi Michael,

I have at least 2 cups a day, my mom drinks at least 5 cups a day!
To honest I reckon 1/2 a day is not bad and yo will get all the benefits, having said that make sure it is real coffee not the instant variety. Real coffee is great and once you develop a taste for it you will always want a good coffee.
Moderation is not a bad thing as too much of a good thing can turn to being harmful.
Enjoy,
Maya

Oh yes, I do agree with workingmamma, moderation is the key to every intake. Too much healthy food but no exercise is not healthy... Always exercising but no healthy eating is no good too. Moderation, Be Balanced, Be Yin & Yang!

Can Coffee help you concentrate? Back in my Psychology Masters' Degree I remember reading an experiment that was done on spiders. They compared LSD, Cannabis and Caffeine to see the effect that these may have on the spiders' web creation. The results were as follow: Spiders on LSD created extremely complex patterns, those in cannabis started great but never finished their webs and those on caffeine were with the most mistakes been made. Sincerely Kazooli ''This experiment is by no means an example to be used in real life situations with humans or animals. This is NOT a suggestion neither a comparison to which of the three substances mentioned above is the best. Drugs and stimulants are bad for you!''

Not what you want to hear about moderation: Even a little coffee 1st thing is know to elevate LDL Cholestral all day. This throws of your symphony of hormones off, which run everything. As mentioned, coffee is both toxic, harsh & acidic (hence the breath deal) This leaches you of alkaline minerals (i.e. we are all starved for. LDL is there because you arteries are getting burned or at least irritated & inflamed. NOT good... We should share ideas as how to better get Magnesium & calcium back into our bodies - and not with pills or "tablets." And staying alkaline. Learn about pH your life depends on it. Yeah, yeah, the 100 old cigar smoking boozhound - great genes maybe but our genes are actually getting weaker. Uhhhh... hello: child obesity & adult onset diabetes On the other hand Coffee is beautifully aromatic - definitely has some benifits. Coffee in enemas (eeeewwwe gross) is incredible for the liver & detoxification. That's my next evolution. Personally I like cacao - still not ideal but you get super focused & alert. Green tea is great - make sure waters & showers are chlorine free as it makes green tea mutagenic. Learn about Hydration, alkalinity & minerals (coffee antagonizes all three) If you must - balance your diet with alkaline foods, greens, cellery & grapefruit. If you can buy Phour salts from phmiracle.com (cheezy package - but amazing product to keep you alkaline regardless. Mercola.com another good site. Was #1 for natural health sites at one point He's pretty good. And if you can "body ecology diet" rocks by Donna Gates Hope I didn't upset anyone here going on & all... PS: Alkalinity cuts stress way down, slows aging & accelerates attention Good Luck

I, on the other hand, believe coffee is not good for you. Caffine and other additives that it contains are addictive and harmful to your health. If you need it to stay awake, get more sleep. If you need it to feel like you have more energy, start working out more. If you drink it because you like it, use moderation. Anything that gives you withdrawals is obviously not good for your body and health. Use your head. Take care of yourself because nobody else will. Take care, Bill Grieger

All my life I heard that drinking coffee was not good for our health! However, recently, I read some scientific studies which stated that coffee ingestion is very good on preventing diabetes, Parkinson disease, dementia, Alzheimer disease, fighting asthma attacks, increasing the state of alert and it has a great antioxidant activity. We must not forget, though, that coffee contains cafeine and that cafeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, which can cause insomnia, headaches, anxiety, dizziness and vertigo. It is also a strong diuretic for some people and it can cause physical dependence (4 or more cups a day)! So, the keyword is: moderation. Drink it but don't abuse it! Personally, I enjoy drinking coffee... just the taste of it... I don't feel any side effects!

I think using this stuff in the morning is gross, on an empty stomach, I would hate that. Both the feeling in your stomach and your head getting a rush, while you are still hungry. Even with breakfast it's just not right. I have been known to enjoy a vanilla latte, or some of those cold mocha or vanilla iced packaged drinks from starbucks, I usually add like 30% more milk since they are too sweet. I kind of like these at dinner time, or at night, to feel more focused or as a digestif, maybe slight pick-me-up, Not really to deal with being totally tired. Not the kind of person who goes on benders of coffee, but, I used to be pretty into soft drinks, still love sugar. Been drinking tons of cold black tea lately with honey.

I haven't read all replies here, but I know a few things about coffee: 1. It's good for meetings, sales situations etc. as people are a bit more likely to accept offers when they drink coffee. 2. 2-3 cups a day, has many advantages, but also a few disadvantages. I think it's approximately 50/50 pros/cons, but more than that is just bad. (I read a pretty difuse article in mens health, where they really draw no other conclusion than saying more than 3 cups is bad) 3. I'm pretty sure I had more point when I started to write... Better get some coffee

Word of warning, I used to drink 8 large cups of brewed coffee per day at a high stress job. I started to get palpitations at first then this turned into panic attacks. I quit coffee completely and the feeling went away plus my stress went down. Now if I even have one cup I can end up getting major jitters, like I became caffeine intolerant all of a sudden. Decaf is the way to go if you want the antioxidants without the nasty sides.

Coffee is awesome - it helps me get up, get to work and focus in on things....unless I drink too much. My threshold is about 2-3 cups a day. Anything more than that and yeah, everyone's statements on moderation are dead on. I have a friend who works with me sometimes who is the walking dead without his coffee. Can't even talk to him on the phone. I've been there myself (not keen on going back).

[QUOTE=genieofwealth;822237]hi, make sure that your artificial sweetener isn't Aspartame. seriously you need to kick this as it is used in all or most diet products. I agree!! Aspartame is nasty, horrible stuff. I've got a medical condition where my body doesn't break down phenylalanine and Aspartame is like poison to me (proverbially speaking). Its one thing I'm actually scared of, and not without good reason - it makes me feel really, really ill within less than half an hour. However, having done some reasearch into Aspartame it turns out that it's like poison to everyone else too! My family and husband have stopped having anything with Aspartame in it and they feel a lot better for it. When you google it, or even Aspartame Poisoning, some of the stuff that comes up is terrifying. Makes me thankful I can't have it, even if it does mean I have to read the label of pretty much everything I buy when I do the groceries! On the coffee note, I think anything (within reason obviously) is fine in moderation. Personally I drink 1 - 2 cups of coffee a day and never any more. Sometimes I won't drink any for months on end. I also go through phases where I drink a lot of herbal teas. I've noticed I am drinking coffee more regularly at the moment as I'm trying to lose weight and am thus trying very hard to kick my coca cola habit!
