HOW BAD IS COFFEE FOR YOU?
The World Health Organization, (WHO), states that coffee is a “true drug” due to its caffeine content. It meets the criteria set by WHO for drug addiction. Coffee raises cholesterol levels. There are very few nutrients found in any significant amount in a cup of coffee. There are only trace amounts of niacin (0.22mg/100mg), magnesium (5 mg/100g) and potassium (54 mg/100g). Coffee contains chlorogenic acids. Caffeine and chlorogenic acids act as diuretics and irritate the digestive tract. Regarding Arterial Hypertension, (high blood pressure), when an individual abstains from drinking coffee their blood pressure will decrease back into normal range.
There are reports proving there are changes in intellectual performance. An experiment conducted in the psychological department of Nene College in North Hampton , United Kingdom , shows that more errors are produced in identifying pairs of equal letters. Equal letters for example, A/a or different letters, P/a. Even though other studies demonstrate that coffee stimulates mental activity, more errors are produced after drinking it. This is due the fact that caffeine reduces the brains glucose or sugar supply, which leads to a lack of mental concentration.
Coffee increases the production of acid juices in the stomach. It also promotes acid reflux causing heartburn and esophagitis. This has been well demonstrated at the Bogenhausen Hospital in Munich ( Germany ). There is a significantly increased risk of Urinary bladder cancer with coffee consumption, particularly if combined with alcohol use. Coffee fosters calcium loss through the urine, which contributes to Osteoporosis. A study at the University of South Carolina demonstrates that increasing unfiltered coffee consumption by ONE CUP A DAY on a regular basis raises blood cholesterol by 20mg/100 ml. Myocardial Infarction is increased by consuming coffee according to a Meta analysis (a compendium of a large body of previous statistics) carried out a Harvard University (USA). Coffee may also lead to changes in cardiac rhythm, or arrhythmia.

Coffee is the only product that raises your insulin and glucagon levels at the same time destroying your hormonal production and overworking your pancreas. In addition coffee raises your cortisol levels, whereby causing you to loose muscle mass.” “Coffee is a vasoconstrictor.
