Re: Coffee
fact of the day - europeans drink on average consume twice as much caffeine per day as americans.
also toutatis - i will rewrite a thing about coffee that is better than the above.
Drinking 1-3 cups of coffee per day:
It increases your heart rate and blood pressure, but you will quickly grow tolerant to this affect, however we do not gain tolerace to the mental stimulation. It will increase your stomach acid production, be a diuretic, and increase your metabolism. It also gives you coffee breath and stains your teeth. It takes ~45 minutes for caffeine to begin working, and once it does it will improve your mental abilities and mood. Coffee is also an antioxidant and keeps your poo regular. It easy to be "addicted", the consequences of which are a headache if you don't get your cup of coffee.
Drinking 5-6 cups of coffee or more per day, will produce insomnia, stomach ulcers, fast heart rate, and persistent anxiety. There are no proven connections to heart diseases.
Summarizing:
Drinking 1-3 cups per day is fine so long as you don't have any stomach ulcer problems. There aren't really any adverse affects except for becoming "addicted" and getting headaches if you don't get caffeine.
Having 5-6 + cups per day can produe anxiety, insomnia, and rapid heart rate.
