COFFEE whys it bad 4 u?

Wives tale. Brush your teeth after you drink coffee. Baldness is a gene.

 

yea i dont like the idea of me having to rely on a drug to function. I drink only occasionally like once or twice a week.

 

I wouldn't say I need it to function, I went like 2 weeks without coffee last summer when our coffee pot broke, it wasn't bad at all. I've been drinking coffee religiously for about 6 years now, long enough to get "addicted". Maybe I'm just resistant. The way I look at it its more of a cultural thing anyways, where I come from we drink coffee. A lot!

 

Coffee isn't the only thing that contains caffeine. Soda is full of it as well. Everything in moderation. A few cups of coffee a day isn't going to kill anyone, or cause them to go bald, or make them impotent.

 

Fine. Here's an article from Harvard Medical School:

Coffee Health Risks: For the moderate drinker, coffee is safe says Harvard Women’s Health Watch

( Boston , MA ) Despite 20 years of reassuring research, many people still avoid caffeinated coffee because they worry about its health effects. However, current research reveals that in moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some health benefits. The September issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch weighs the pros and cons of this popular beverage and eases the concerns of moderate coffee drinkers.
The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Studies show that the risk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it. Also, coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities.
For those who drink coffee to stay alert, new research suggests that you'll stay more alert, particularly if you are fighting sleep deprivation, if you spread your coffee consumption over the course of the day. For instance, if you usually drink 16 ounces in the morning, try consuming a 2-3 ounce serving every hour or so. Again, moderation is the key.
However, as the September issue notes, coffee is not completely innocent. Caffeine, coffee's main ingredient is a mild addictive stimulant. And coffee does have modest cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and occasional irregular heartbeat that should be considered. Studies have been largely inconclusive regarding coffee and its effect on women's health issues such as breast health, cancer, and osteoporosis. But, the negative effects of coffee tend to emerge in excessive drinking so it is best to avoid heavy consumption.

for every bit of negative research you find, i'm pretty sure i can find something just as easy on the positive points to drinking coffee. also i can honestly say i've never heard that one before. and yes i have done lots of reading coffee.

 

is there any source behind this

 

Any chance of you switching from coffee to tea? In Floyd Pattersons book, he stresses that you should drink a decent amount of tea every day, as it is full of anti oxidants, the caffeine gives you a boost, and it allows you to get your daily intake of water as well.

 

really?

 

only if you over do it i would no more then twice a day.
