Will Coffee Cure You or Kill You?

epending on whom you ask, coffee is either the next super food or the next public health hazard. Consult the latest news headlines or scientific studies, and you’ll find that coffee “fights heart disease,” reduces the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and multiple sclerosis, and “could keep Alzheimer’s at bay.” One recent study by researchers at the National Institute of Health and Yale University found that people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were a whopping 20 percent less likely to develop melanoma, a type of skin cancer, than people who didn’t drink coffee

Coffee destroys you,slowly,from the inside,and turns you into a zombie.

You don't really need coffee.Most people get addicted because of the social effect,everyone drinks coffee,and the young people that don't eventually get on it too.

Long before coffee was ever spread worldwide people were still lively,alert,focused and energetic.They didn't drank coffee.

Caffeine is a methyloxanthine,a central nervous system stimulant,therefore i understand why it can prevent sclerosis and alzheimer or parkinson.How it prevents cancer?Maybe it's capable to interfere in DNA replication.

Coffee will hurt and cure you different ways, at the same time :thumb001:

Caffeine causes premature aging and hypertension.

As with all drugs, large doses are harmful and deadly over long periods of time.

Like most things in life, drink it in moderation and you will probably be fine.

Tea>Coffee, there should be a ratio of at least 3:1 for mugs of tea vs coffee consumption or you're doing it wrong! :D

Coffee is very nice though.

Hardcore coffee fans and addicted ones will face some serious problems.

And dairy causes cancer, suddenly it was healthy and did not cause cancer. Potatoes were bad, then they were good. I stopped following any of this.. What is healthy and unhealthy changes on such a regular basis that you got to be willing to give up pretty much everything if you're wanting to follow the words of the so called wise heads.

All I know, it makes me jittery and it certainly doesn't affect my heart rate the good way, so I stay away.

That applies to Limeys only, though. Much like imperial units and other nonsense :D

Anyway tea contains the very same psychoactive molecule coffee does, caffeine and theine being the same.

Btw, apparently it compromises the spiders ability to spin a web, in a very hilarious fashion

Caffeine, one of the most common drugs consumed by Britons in soft drinks, tea and coffee, makes spiders incapable of spinning anything better than a few threads strung together at random.

Why do you drink it then?

Stop drinking it.

[Tekken]

On the fence about this.
Somehow I feel drinking a quality cup of coffee is like shifting the next gear for the whole day for my body.
Yep I could stay on second gear for the whole day, I would be fine. But why not go higher?
Everything works better. You think better, lift more, run faster, your body even feels more efficient at digesting & processing food.
Though I'd say anything over 1 cup and you're doing it too much.

@Unome about premature aging = Proof?

[Highlands]

Why do you drink it then?

Stop drinking it.

because it tastes amazing of course, besides I'd rather live naturally and not overdo it than obsessing over unnecessary things.

I agree here. Coffee also helps me sleep better so when people tell me it gives them energy, I don't understand that.

Coffee is the cruel mistress you can't resist. It'll cure you and kill you all at once.
