Coffee is a quite controversial drink. Some people believe it is a magical elixir, which brings back our
power, when we are exhausted, however others claim it is slowly killing us. Who`s right and who`s
not – we cannot say for sure, but we can have a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of
this drink.
Accusation: Coffee increases the blood pressure
Protection: 3 or 4 cups of coffee do increase the blood pressure significantly, however one cup of
coffee daily does not have significant effect on it.
Accusation: Coffee harms the heart
Protection: According to some doctors, coffee increases the risk of a serious heart-disease, however
others are convinced it is just the opposite. Coffee has a favorable effect on the heart. Warning: This
conclusion is valid only if the daily caffeine dosage is under 200mg.
Accusation: Coffee is a Drug
Protection: Coffee is a stimulant and it is not a secret, however it is completely wrong to put the
coffee next to drugs such as cocaine or amphetamines. There is no serious addiction toward coffee.
People, who drink large amounts of coffee and stop it immediately, tend to feel a slight discomfort,
which easily disappears in a few days.
