Does coffee helpful or harmful?

I love coffee.I just can't help myself.I haven't seen any harmful effects on myself but when my mother got pregnant the doctor told her not to drink coffee so I guess it's harmful in some way.On the other hand though I have heard that coffee even has some positive effects like lowering the risks of some kinds of cancer.I would say that if you love coffee you shouldn't hold yourself back because you are afraid for your health.Coffee doesn't seem to cause any serious medical conditions so I think coffee drinkers such as myself are generally safe.

Balance is the key. I also love coffee. On my experience, too much coffee a day makes my head hurts. So, I only drink once a day. Then, tea for evening. It's okay for me to drink the tea once or two times a day. Plz try drinking tea. Tea is healthy.

Dear friend, Welcome to mylot....It is known that hot coffee is good during winter especially when there is coufing, cold, other coldness inside. If we mix chocolate in it, it could taste better too. Moreover here we put few ginger (after crushing it) in hot cofee espeically during winter. At times when there is stomach upset black coffee with someing lemon drops with salt and sugar mixed is taken. I feel there is sure to be medicinal side of coffee. But too much is no doubt harmful. I do take occassionally, not yet addicted to it.

I've read some articles about coffee's effects on the web. Before, I always believed that coffee is harmful to our health, that's why I'm not a regular coffee drinker. But recently, studies have shown that coffee has its beneficial effects too. We just have to take it in moderate amounts, or else, we will suffer. Always remember that too much of everything is also bad. Happy myLotting, maryraid!

People of all ages love coffee specially the young generation of today. but the problem is that it contains caffeine in it which is harmful. but people are addicted to coffee. even i myself have a cup everyday or so. it refreshes the mind and brings out the inner energy of oneself. But doctors say that small amounts of caffeine gradually increase make up to more and that is harmful. even coffee is not encouraged for pregnant women for the fear of damage to the unborn babies. but for me i love the smell of coffee, its flavours and a cup of cafe latte with my chocolate and a nice book to go with it and there you go :)

Coffee can work several ways. For people who really need that extra pick me up in the morning to get your day started, then might need coffee, or for people who need to stay awake because they fall asleep often, then they might really need some coffee. For people who have ADD or ADHD, then they might need coffee to calm them down. Some people like to go on coffee dates. I did that with every guy I ever went out with. It was like a job interview because I was interviewing potential boyfriends, and if they didn't meet my standards during the coffee date, then they were gone. Coffee dates really are a great way to stay awake and get to know people.

Hi! Well, I think that in moderation, coffee is fine, I mean two or three cups a day. Recently I went to see my doctor suffering from severe panic symptoms, and he asked about my coffee intake. The truth is at the time, I was drinking one cup of tea or coffee after the other, with sugar, and after having skipped breakfast. Clearly, this amount of coffee is terribly bad for you, especially with no or little food. A blood test revealed further health issues. It took a long time for me to feel relatively normal again. I'm not blaming the gargantuan amounts of coffee I was ingesting...but they can't have helped, especially as I'd been skipping breakfast more or less consistently for years. I still drink too much coffee, but I've cut down on the sugar. And some days, I try and eat some kind of breakfast.

My personal view is that coffee is neither harmful or helpful, but it will definitely become dangerous if there is an overdose of coffee,

Well my friend, I love coffee no matter what you say, thou I will think on it

I'm not a coffee drinker. For me, coffee is just something I'd have occasionally. Even that, it'd probably not a strong black coffee; instead, I'd have iced coffee like the ones they serve at McDonalds, for instance. Btw, welcome to myLot. I hope you enjoy it here.

I drink pure water upon waking up. But I do drink coffee sometimes after breakfast... sometimes in the afternoon and sometimes just after supper... Some say coffee is antioxidant... so it must be good... but don't drink too much...

Sometimes,Hot Coffee may be harmful in summer,But best for winter.

Coffee is helpful for those work guy to have a high spirit for working, but for pregnant woman,it is harmful for her baby inside. every coin has 2 sides, it just depends on who drink the coffee.
