It's not that coffee is bad for you. Green/red coffee beans are fine. It's the roasting at high temperatures that's not good for any mammal. The same goes for charring meat with regard to carbonylation. As a physician, you understand that one of the basic theories of aging is non-enzymatic glycosylation, or glycation for short. Spurious glycated proteins are highest in roasted coffee, black English tea, cigarette smoke and baked products that have been subjected to high heat via the browning method, which in science is called the Maillard reaction. Personally, after this so-called pandemic--the creation of Dr. Ralph Baric at Chapel Hill--I really don't care what the hell people do. Gullibility is off the charts. For all I care, they can eat M&M's and potato chips all day long. The ability to think and reason by the American public is a rarity. Don't forget that fatty acids can also become glycated non-enzymaticly. That's also a problem with coffee because it's very high in seed oils when the beans are harvested partially red, or red.

What's fine for some causes problems for others I guess. While your dad is fine, others may have high blood pressure or similar conditions. Plus, if certain conditions exist beforehand or develop due to other circumstances, a substance like coffee can worsen symptoms anyways. It's just possiblity. Will people stop driving cars because of car crashes? Probably not. Are people looking left and right before crossing a street because a car could hit them? Most likely. It all depends on the circumstances and sometimes probabilities. Though, most people don't fear driving cars but have flight anxiety, while flying is way less likely to kill you.

My husband worked as a Chemical Engineer and he was exposed to every carcinogenic causing chemical and radiation where he worked, it was so bad in that building that 5 men just in his department came down with Pancreatic cancer too. They have now tore down that building and everything was hauled away, even the dirt underneath the building. He was one of our Nations top Defense Engineers and the government knew they lost one of their best by their refusal to replace the building long ago.

This is at least double of where I was. Getting off of caffeine has significantly improved my sleep in a short 2 months. This alone was worth the dive into being 100% caffeine free. I plan to continue being 100% caffeine free for the rest of this life just for the sleep benefit alone. Recently, I was able to sleep 5 straight hours without having to get up and relieve my bladder. This is quite amazing compared to where I was just 2 months ago.

It's not the caffeine if you have to get up and pee at night - it is your fluid intake. If you cut down on coffee you cut down on fluids = you can sleep longer before you have to get up to take a piss.

[@pedroclaro7822]

I stopped my food water consumption habit, and I started waking up to pee (which was unprecedented). Got to the point where I was waking up two times per night…. I slowed caffeine consumption and cut it off after my lunch espresso. I restarted drinking water a few weeks ago. I had to remind myself to drink for the first week, but since then I was able to go from 300ml a day to close to my previous average of 2l in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. (It helps thst the temperatures went up). I stop drinking after 5pm, except for my dinner soup at 8pm, and I don’t wake up to pee anymore :) Getting a regular sleep schedule has probably helped, I now to go bed when sleepy and wake up with the sun.

[@kennettle]

The way caffeine works on your brain is that it inhibits a neurotransmitter called adenosine a naturally calming hormone, which builds up throughout the day, making you feel tired as the day progresses. Sleep eliminates adenosine and you wake up refreshed and the process begins again. If you drink coffee the adenosine builds up and much of it doesn't get absorbed when you sleep so you awake tired and grab a coffee to perk you up. You have become an addict in withdrawal needing another fix. Caffeine hijacks your hormonal wiring and wreaks havoc on your health in significant ways increasing the stress hormone cortisol and increasing norepinephrine which causes your heart rate to increase as well as raise your blood pressure.

I’m an old retired scientist (octogenarian). I happened to have married my wife over half a century ago and reared five children. Fortunately my wife and I have never drank coffee since our mothers offered it to us when she was 5yo and I was 8yo. I look like I’m 60yo. She looks like she is 50 yo. We feel like we are 40 year olds. I’m not saying not drinking coffee did this to us but I believe it was one of the contributing factors to keep us healthy. Like not consuming alcohol or smoking. Her brother smoked, drank coffee and lots of beer. He died of throat cancer at 70yo. My brother used coffee, drank beer and occasionally smoked Mary and died at 64yo from pancreatic cancer. Without have hard long term quality test data I used my intuition and taught my children not to drink coffee, booze, smoke or use illicit drugs and especially don’t run towards gunfire (like her brother was required to do as a policeman). Each has done some in their lifetimes. My conclusion: if you can avoid caffeine, alcohol, smoke, illicit drugs and bullets you have a better chance at living past 80.

I'm 66. Never drank coffee until 4 years ago when I started low carb diet. I drink it black. Clearly I feel changes in my body with caffeine. Whether those changes are good or bad I don't really know. I hear both sides so apparently it's not clear. I do know it's addictive. The question for me is "Do I need coffee?" Clearly the answer is no since my life for 62 years was just fine without coffee. Of course the addiction thing is going to push my brain to rationalize continued use. I agree there looks to be low risk if any with drinking coffee, and could be some benefit which is also too low to measure with much certainty. So where do I go? I think I'll quit based just on the addiction thing. I don't really like the fear of getting that headache if I miss my daily fix. I don't like what I see in some coffee drinkers who really spend a large amount of time thinking and talking about coffee. I don't want to become that person. I don't play golf for the same reason.

The main issue with coffee is that it is a pretty potent blood vessel constrictor. It might be a problem for many people in certain situation. Research didnt really touched that issue but it is worth srudying.

[@jeanjaz]

You know, my grandfather died of pancreatic cancer in his early 70s. (1980s) He drank several cups of coffee every day, but his pancreatic cancer probably had more to do with his hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) that he struggled with most of his life. A number of his descendants struggle with hypoglycemia or "reactive blood sugar" as well, including myself and my brother and at least one of my brother's kids.

[@noahglenn8305]

A zero carb diet can help with that- as backward as it may sound. I believe it is because your body needs far less insulin to regulate blood sugar when fats and proteins are you primary fuel sources. Dr Stan Eckberg, Shawn Baker, and a few others have a great track record with both type 1 & 2 diabetics

Yes but he forgot to mention that there is also the increased blood pressure, increased and irregular heart beats, dehydration, diuretic effects, and insomnia causing effects that drinking coffee causes. I wouldn’t exactly call it healthy, at best it’s a wash.

Was it caffeine blues, the book about coffee being a stressor more than anything else. If you are of the school that we need a little stress then coffee can be good so are saunas, cold showers and exercises. Still coffee is a stressor, not everybody can handle it and some that think they can should try to go without for months and see what it does to them.

[@CarbageMan]

I have to say I prefer a light to medium roast anyway, and only drink two or three cups a day. PS: You said something about "morning." When we wake up, we're pumped full of cortisol, so we'll enjoy better outcomes if we wait, at least, until mid-morning before we have that first cup of coffee.

[@szymonbaranowski8184]

tell that to people who take it to lift their deficient energy less bodies of bad the same goes with ashwaganda which lowers cortisol you probably want to exercise in morning to use that natural boost and what makes sleep better letting you wake up next day energetic without coffee and do things without thinking first about main addiction in life 😂

​@@szymonbaranowski8184 What happens when you drink coffee in the morning is you either come down later or you drink more coffee, then you become caffeine dependent/resistant. If you want to have energy, don't become drug dependent.

[@TheDwarburton]

A few things that aren't mentioned that I'd like to share, feel free to input more. Also all of this is about caffeine, not coffee itself but obviously a vast majority of coffee drinkers don't have decaff! Coffee does block adenosine receptors and give you the illusion that you're not tired, basically tricking your bodies natural mechanisms which doesn't sounr particularly healthy. We have them there for good reason! Ontop of this, MY BIGGEST RED FLAG of coffee is it making it harder to sleep AND even if you can sleep fine the quality of sleep you get is worsened by quite a significant amount! You can mitigate this slightly by having a caffeine cutoff of around 2pm, depends on when you plan to sleep but I can't remember the halflife of caffeine so adjust to your lifestyle Some people also suffer increased heart rate, a mild, almost subconscious anxiety and jitters. Anxiety can cause stress and cortisol levels to increase which isn't healthy and heart rate shouldn't be changing too significantly from anything we ingest right? Anxiety alone isn't pleasant. An unpopular conclusion.. but we ARE designed to drink water and it seems like virtually any alternative drink will have some drawback whether minor or major, even on the type of water we have! Just choose wisely, some drinks are straight up poison like alcohol but I suggest keeping water the majority of what we drink and seeing other beverages as a treat

You can take my coffee from my cold dead hands. Unrelated, have you ever researched the surge of gall bladder disease? I personally know many people who have had theirs removed, and I have a theory. Granted I'm an artist not a scientist, but here goes- I am wondering if the abundance of gall bladder disease, while linked to too much fat intake, is actually a result of modern seed oils used in frying, hydrogenated oils used in snack foods, etc, rather than too much fat in general. The condition did not seem as prevalent in the past when we ate lots of fats, but they were from natural sources: butter, olive oil, meats etc. Just something that occurred to me after seeing so many people I know have their gall bladder removed.

I saw Dr. Hanson's coffee video 3 months ago. Near the end, is a chart listing 10 benefits of coffee consumption and 7 negatives of consuming coffee. I had made a screenshot of that chart. Despite his suggestive title, I do not think that Dr. Hansen believes coffee will kill you faster, the chart he posted clearly show more positives than negatives. He provided balanced information for each viewer to decide. As I read them, it has not changed my coffee intake of two cups 5 days a week. Sometimes, I leave coffee & opt for drinking varied kinds of tea over a couple weeks.

Here: On average, potato chips can contain anywhere from 200 to 2,000 micrograms of acrylamide per kilogram (µg/kg) of food. As for coffee, the amount of acrylamide is considerably lower. The levels in roasted coffee beans can range from about 45 to 200 µg/kg. Brewed coffee typically contains even less acrylamide, usually below 10 µg/kg.

[@pavel9004]

It probably depends on an individual. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others. I, for example, have unreasonable anxiety if I drink just a cup of coffee per day; as well as frequent extrasystoles in my heart. Once I quit coffee, both disappeared.

I used to be hypersensitive to caffeine. 40 years later affects me about 70% less. That 30% has me zinging in a good way, provided I'm not burnt out at the end of the day. The bod is already calling for a recharge ( rest) and more coffee pushes it too much. Interferes with sleep. That's just me.
