I’ve recently had people tell me that coffee isn’t good for one’s health? Anyone knows why?

Re: Coffee - bad for you?

Every now and again the general concensus on what is good or bad changes according to the latest fad or research done by one scientist or another, sometimes (me is sometimes cynical) the research is funded by the large corporations that manufactures the said product.

ten /twenty years ago butter was bad and margerine good… margerine is now considered to be harmful to the body and its better to have a little butter than lots of marg!

Until a few years ago, coffee was bad and tea was considered a better option because it contained antioxidents etc

It now appears that coffee can be beneficial, because it contains antoxidents and poss other stuff. Like everything in life, it should be taken in moderation…I think 4 cups a day is whats recommended!

here is a link to back up a little of what ive said.

If you're prone to getting anxious, stressed out, better to cut down. I havent had tea coffee in a week, trying to detox...drinking green tea, but even that has small amounts of caffeine.

If the tea/coffee isnt bothering you and you drink it in moderation its fine. But you'd find that at health hydros youd never be able to find anything with caffeine in it. So yeah its not good for you.

Oh my Gosh look who’s here :eek: ammarr where have you been? How’s everything with you? kahan gaib ho bhei???

And about the topic, some people say its good and read it somewhere that it’s anti cancer??? I am not sure though but like who cares since I am not into coffee, tea etc. :stuck_out_tongue: Once in a while it’s okay but my personal opinion is one shouldn’t be addicted to caffeine.

Thanks.. i guess the principle is the same as always then, as long as it isn't in excess and one doesn't depend on it, its ok.

Mindless, i've been around, i just read more now i guess. Everything's good alhumdullilah, i'm studying at FAST these days.

I think kids and caffiene go hand in hand, that was when I started the coffee chugging, after my son was born - consider it a necessary evil :)
