Can you name a few reasons why coffee is bad for you? homework thing?

Answer 1

Coffee is full of caffeine and when you consume too much, you can experience side effects from the caffeine, including headaches and jitters...this is especially bad when you drink coffee often and then decide to stop (you experience these withdrawal effects).

Answer 2

Cons

• Coffee is a central nervous system stimulator that gives the adrenals a kick and causes production of the stress handling hormone adrenalin and the production of more cortisol resulting in short term benefits of heightened awareness / alertness and more energy, but long term may result in a crash after each consumption to lower levels of energy than previously thereby necessitating another cup and another cup, etc. Thus, it may be addictive and ultimately may result in adrenal exhaustion.

• Even though coffee has never been conclusively linked to cancer, it does contain acknowledged carcinogens such as caffeine and other chemicals produced by the high heat of roasting such as creosote, pymdine, tars, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

• Caffeine interferes with adenosine, a brain chemical that normally has a calming effect.

• Cortisol levels are raised which in turn results in constriction of the blood vessels, harder pumping of the heart and higher blood pressure. (Constriction of blood vessels is also a benefit, see the next section.)

• The liver in fetuses and newborns cannot metabolize caffeine, so it remains in the body for up to four days stimulating the nervous system resulting in irritability and sleeplessness.

• Coffee has been associated with low birth weight, birth defects, miscarriages, premature birth, inability to conceive, and sluggish sperm.

• Many of the chemicals in coffee and decaf irritate the stomach lining causing an increase of stomach acid leading to digestive disorders.

P.S. There was alot more than just these, but I stopped reading because it's making me want to switch to decaf, and that's Satans blend.

Answer 3

it turns ur teeth yellow you get addicted i think,go to wikipedia.Got this from their.Most medical experts agree that people under the age of 21 should not drink coffee. This belief has nothing to do with stunting the patient's growth, as our grandmothers once believed. Studies have proven that youths have no need to drink coffee, as their bloodstreams are already seething with natural caffiene, which is called "youth". The addition of coffee to the teenage bloodstream will cause anxiety, increased heart rate, insanity, rotten egg gas, pregnancy, mental retardation, baldness, stinky feet, and the wrath of satan. People over thirty, however, have been known to suffer those very same ailments for lack coffee, especially upon waking. When asked for comment, the National Coffee Council put us on hold while they ran to Starbucks.
