    Coffee, I think. People think coffee help you stay awake and boost your productivity.

    But I think, coffee put you into unnecessary stress (stress while sitting still ? Is it natural ?), Disruption sleep pattern,…

    Will cause lot of issues if you keep consume few cup daily

      Coffee (and more specifically caffeine) is one of the most-tested food substances on the planet. Funnily enough, every time they test it, they find some new way that caffeine is actually good for you. It has all sorts of surprising benefits.

      Obviously you shouldn’t be drinking a galloon of it a day, but in moderation, coffee is a very healthy drink. Served black it’s zero-calorie, zero-sugar, fights diabetes, lowers your weight, fights depression, prevents liver disease, and of course tastes good.

      Coffee is amazing.

      Coffee is a prime example of too much of a good thing might not be good anymore.

      Coffee might be fine here and there but when people use it to replace good sleep habits or to general energy to a point of reliance it might not longer be fine.

      I think the better point here is that a lot of things have the potential to be dangerous if used too much.

      A cheeseburger on its own is perfectly fine, five of them a week is a problem. Eight ounces of coffee a day is fine, more than twenty can be a problem. Eight ounces of soda is okay on its own but just because it’s served in huge bottles does not mean you’re supposed to drink it as your main source of liquid.

      In the US, we have nutritional facts on most things but most people ignore them. If you care to, you can choose to limit your intake of substances to one serving.

      Coffee’s been around for hundreds of years. You think there’s really going to be an about face on it after all this time?

      Wow! So many downvotes on true statement, but even that with disclaimer “I think”.

      Come on people, coffee is not good for you. Nor is alcohol, nor sugar.

      I do use them all, but I am not lying myself that those are not bad for my health.
