Coffee and health

There's a saying, "Everything in moderation". I think that 9 cups of coffee is a lot and all of that caffine may be harmful to your health in the long run as it can raise your blood pressure and increase your heart rate. Do you like Decaf coffee? Maybe you should try making a couple of those decaffinated.

That might be a little excessive. I think coffee is good in moderation. It has alot of anti oxidants in it so it probbly is really good for you in alot of ways. I would think you would be jittery with so much caffeine in your system. I think I would be. Plus I would not be able to sleep at night.

Everything you eat and drink,are more or less unhealthy

That much coffee probably is bad for you, yes. Caffeine is thought to have a good many ill effects on your overall health, not to mention guess what? You probably ARE addicted to coffee! Which means when you stop drinking it, you're going to feel pretty cranky. But again, it'd be a good idea to cut back on so much coffee. Switch to decaf, or black tea perhaps.

I can certainly relate to this topic. I drink alot of coffee as well but that is because I really enjoy the taste of it. I have found a Maxwell House coffee that is actually 1/2 and 1/2 so I have been drinking that more and it doesn't make it seem as though I am drinking as much as I was. Alot of people will say that it can affect your health in the long run. Within the last 2 years I have been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia which causes severe migraine headaches. Before this diagnosis, the doctors were tested me for everything. One of the main things they told me was to cut my caffeine intake in half so as not to trigger a migraine. But in the long run it turned out that nothing I ate or drank actually contributed to my migraines. But make sure you are very careful when it comes to caffeine, it could do some damage to your health. Good luck with everything.

Too much caffeine can also cause you to lose calcium in the body. As we all know, calcium is necessary for bone and teeth health. So by drinking too much coffe, you are not only discoloring your teeth, but also weakening them in the process. Also, do you use artificial sweeeteners in your coffee? Some studies have shown that artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and saccharin, could be linked to an increased risk of tumors and cancer. I love me coffee in the morning too, but nine cups a day is a bit excessive. Try getting more sleep.

9 cups of coffee per day is definitely not healthy. We all know that has caffeine and too much of that stuff speeds up your heart rate and can cause irritability, etc. Hopefully you dont experience those symptoms especially if you work because its not good on the job. Too much of anything can be bad. Even water is bad for you if you drink too much of it in one sitting. You just have to use it moderately.

Good gracious! And I thought I used to be bad..lol! On top of drinking a lot of coffee, I used to add about 2 or 3 Mountain Dew sodas a day.

I cut way down after going for a physical and my doctor told me how bad it was and insisted that I cut down. It was very hard for me because coffee is my favorite thing to drink but I did it, and started drinking more juice, water, milk and tea.

Now I try to stick to 1 cup, sometimes 2 on rougher days but that's it. Maybe decaffinated will help where you'll still get the flavor, and there's a natural coffee like beverage called Postum, but it's hard to find here now.

drinking too much coffee is not good for health, i think so. coffe can make you feel exited. but if you always keep exciting, your brain must be tired.
i do not drink coffee since i am not used to the taste. but i drink tee, two cups each day.

Hi
Drinking too much coffee is not good for health. But it is safe for a moderate drinker. Studies shows thatrisk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it.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.
But too much of anything is harmfull. Drinking too much coffee increase the PMS symptoms, anxiety, discomfort in stomach etc. It also cause sleep problems. Drinking too much of coffee may cause still birth. It is also not good for hypertension.
Drinking coffee moderately is good for health. Never drink more than four cups of coffee per day. Drinking two cups of coffee daily is advisable for a healthy person.
