Is Coffee a bad thing?

Like you, I also drink coffee usually after a meal about twice a week, lunch time in particular. And I only get to do this here in the office, In fact, I have just eaten my lunch which consisted of rice and viand and I just drank coffee, too. I also did this yesterday. I do agree that some people find it weird but personally, I really don't care. My primary reason for drinking coffee after lunch time is to have adequate fluids in my body and I usually do this when my viand is dry or without soup. Several months ago, my officemate mentioned a recent study about the positive effects of drinking hot beverage after a meal. In the study, it states that coffee dissolves fatty particles ingested or eaten and helps flush away fats. So, it should be good to the health somehow. However, just yesterday, I read one mylotter's post regarding a cancer update. Included in the foods to be hot on the list which is not good for a cancer patient or to prevent cancer, one should take caution in drinking coffee, among others. So I guess I will have to reduce my intake of coffee these days. Prevention is better than cure and it may cost less, right?!

hello kat, Coffee is not at all bad to health. It even has health benefits. At least 4-5 cups a day is fine, and maybe beyond that like 6-7 cups is already too much.

i drink 1-2coffee cups a day
