I also drink 8 cups of coffee a day and wonder if this is too much. Although, I walk 5-8 miles a day and follow a low-carb lifestyle. None of the white stuff…I don’t consume any alcohol either. I feel that coffee is the one thing I enjoy although I know I consume it in excess. Any thoughts on this????

I go through 2 pots a day and hardley no water then soda at night and 6 sleeping pills this article is making me think I am hurting the insides of my body. does it effect the kidneys to and liver like alcohol? I replaced coffee with alcohol because the DR said I am drinking to much liquor . which is harming me more?

I have been drinking at least 16 cups of straight coffee a day for years now. sometimes even more, up to 100 oz. a day. I am 29 years old and have been drinking coffee since i was 17-18 years old. I really do believe coffee is more beneficial to health then they can even comprehend. Have had panic attacks, but didn’t go to the hospital over it.

One day, we went to a local coffee shop. A small group of people were supposed to be “right behind” us. I thought it would be nice to buy everyone a cup of espresso, so I bought like seven double-shots of coffee. Well the other folks didn’t show up, and the one person with me only drank one cup. I drank the other six “doubles”. I got dizzy and felt all weird. Then my heart started to “palpitate” or whatever (my heartbeat was all over the place). I felt all jittery and just about had a panic attack. My buddy drove me to a hospital nearby, and we just sat in the car in the parking lot for about three or four hours until I felt good enough to go home. I still drink coffee now and then, but I found MY limit. Too much caffeine is NOT fun.

I drink alot of coffee, and I’ve heard from some that coffee, and not just caffeine can rob you of
calcium and make your bones weak. Do you know if this is true?

Well, I work in a Expresso Machine factory, and I drink EXPRESSO probably 3 or 4 times per day. I do not have any kind of health problems (that is coffee related). I wonder why some people make these kind of comments about health, coffee and so on, when they eat fast food wich is ten times worse. I don’t eat fast food or saturated fat and I drink coffee and tea on a regular basis and I am ok…

People like you, Mr. KeithF, crack me up.

You’re right, you do live only once, so why not take care of yourself while you can? It doesn’t make any sense to risk shortening the already miniscule lifespans we have, does it?

As it is I am 20 years old, and have never consistently consumed any caffeine product. But as of late, I’ve found myself increasingly attracted to these “5 Hour Energy” shots.

Supposedly they aren’t that bad, if at all bad for you. And with only four calories, and a load of viatamins and minerals, I’m having a hard time finding a reason to not drink them when I need a boost.

It’s not something I take daily, but I definitely have one or two of them a week. Especially lately with these college courses I’m taking.

Does anyone know of any reasons I should lay off them? They’re listed as only having as much caffeine as a single cup of coffee, so…

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I have been drinking coffee since I was 7. I am now 43. I use creamer (half-n-half) and real sugar. None of that manmade garbage for me. I drink about 10 cups a day and have no real problems. I am bald though, I wonder if caffiene caused my hair to fall out?? Oh, I sleep fine at night. So, I say, enjoy the coffee, you only live once.

A cup of coffee is not going to make you lose much calcium. In fact if you’re worried about the calcium, just put some milk in your coffee each time you drink to offset the calcium loss.

I also drink 4 cups of soya product (loads of calcium) a day, in addition to training with weights to keep the bones strong.

I have great teeth and bones, and do not blame coffee at all.
