It's interesting that my mother, who has Stage 4 kidney disease, has not received any advice about caffeine intake. I'm going to ask her to speak with her doctor and get direction as to 1) if she should continue to drink brewed coffee, 2) if she should change the intake amount and 3) if she should drink coffee at specific times (e.g. an hour after medicating). Even if she has moderate affect from caffeine - blood pressure, urine output, etc. - it serves us to better understand the impact to her condition. THANK YOU for this - its been a minute since I attended a lecture and I really LOVED it!!

One thing not mentioned is that coffee causes a choloric bowl of acid to form in the stomach and this effect stresses the body its pancreas and the acidity level of the blood stream. No analysis was given to the acidic content of coffee it is NOT watermelon juice it is acid. Caffiene will also cause spikes in energy and depletion in energy. There fore it is better to drink with a glass of water to reduce the acid in the blood causing further health issiues. And all this study proves is that the old orginal generation knew more without science on its effect. Having a piece of fruit before and wafter with a glass of water will help neutralise coffees over acidic effects. A diet too acidic causes the Pancreas to shoot too much IGF1 to break it down plus it tries to keep the blood at 7.35-7.45Ph by shooting bicarb. When this is ineffective the body will call on calcium to try to normalise the bloods ph level - Calcium from the bones. As an iridologist if your want to see if someones bodies is sick do this and try the remedies very simple. Take a full picture of their IRIS. Look around the eye 1. if there is white dots like a clock forming they have too much waste products built up and need to flush acid out of their Lymphatic System (3x the size of the blood system). 2. If there is yellow around the pupil there is Kidney problems again acidic diet and not enough water and cucumbers. do item 1 as well 3. If there is orange around the pupil there body is chronically ill in the Pancreas and a complete dietary overhaul to natural fruits in the am and veges in the pm with water with sweet potatos. 4. If there is brown around the pupil and in spots Tumours are formning and the liver is basically blocked do what is in items 1- 3 and add lemons to water to help remove bile built up from cleaning a dirty bowel suggest colonic irrigations too Appendicitis is commonly an alarm bells your digestion is blocked and filthy. 5. If you see black blotches or patches unless they were there at birth then you have cancer. SO Do all of items 1-4 for a year. Eat zero meats, package foods as they are 3-7 x harder to digest than wholesome Nutrabullet fibrous juices and water with a pinch of healthy sea salt for cell electricity and alkalising and cleansing the blood. Juicing allows the body plenty of healing energy time instead of sapping digestive time - AM fruit to energise the body and detoc in the am. Then PM veges rebuild in the pm . Simple

Is it now off limits for a university to post a video in which is discussed highly academically complex subjects? 😅🙈 That's the same as saying that the dumbest viewers on KZbin should set the bar for the complexity of information allowed to discuss. 🥴 Not every single video is meant for everybody to be able to wrap their minds around. There are videos on making complex knots. On smithing things from different metals, requiring different handling in terms of heating, hammering and cooling, leading to different properties in the end product. There are videos om knitting things most people would hardly understand or have an interest in either. There are doctors discussing subject matters they have an interest in, in order to spread their knowledge to colleagues all over the world, too. You will not - in any way you might imagine - be able to see all the videos on YT even if you dedicate your entire life to the effort. Doing NOTHING else. It will never happen. So please accept that there is also information out there, that has absolutely no information of your interest or contains information you simply do not understand. There are videos of Elon Musk elaborating on how his team uses friction or vibration to seamlessly weld together the metals of components for their rockets. It is interesting for someone else out there, even if you are indifferent.

[@kandavallisundersingh1877]

I am 70 and a coffee lover. That doesn’t mean I drink lots of cups. I start my day with a cup before breakfast and half a cup after. And after two or three hours, I sip another half cup. My final intake for the day is around 3 to 4 in the evening. That’s my coffee schedule. We in India take our coffee with milk and sugar. I am perfectly alright with it. No side effects and no kidney or any such problems. I’m not diabetic. That’s for your research. Thank you for your research and valuable information.

I'm 64 and have been drinking green tea (I don't drink water, only green tea) for the last 37 years. Got used to having coffee (1 cup a day) after moving to Australia 12 years ago. Happy that I'm enjoying something other than tea. I didn't watch the whole episode because the scientific terms were like Greek to me. The biggest killer is sugar. Everyone should read the book Pure White and Deadly by John Yudkin. What he has said still holds true after 50 years.

I saw people carrying small hand flasks or bottles and heading towards another carriage. I followed them to the carriage and saw them filling hot water from a huge boiler into those flasks and bottles which had tea in them. Out of curiosity I asked one of the passenger why they drank tea instead of water. They said green tea has so many health benefits over water. Even bus and taxi drivers have a bottle by their seat. That's when I started to drink green tea. I'm 65 today and don't have pressure, diabetes or cholesterol. I only drink water when I go out to eat if tea is not available.

Turkish coffee is also served (most often) accompanied with a glass of water. There are even special coffee-water glasses for this (because they look nice by the cup). The reason is "coffee will make you thirsty" (your body already knows what is going on) and if you drink water right after, the coffee taste in your mouth would be washed away. (but we want the coffee taste to stay for a while) Therefore water should be drunk prior to coffee (it is part of the etiquette of drinking coffee). It also washes your mouth and resets your taste buds.

Sorry, after reading 'Caffeine Blues' by Stephen Cherniske, M.S., I am not impressed by this lecture, rather just blended by science. According to the above book, which is backed up by much research, coffee is a powerful drug that can affect brain function, hormone balance, and sleep patterns, whilst increasing your risk of osteoporosis, diabetes, ulcers, PMS, stroke, heart disease and certain types of cancer. 'Coffee is the most heavily sprayed food or beverage commodity on the face of the earth'. There are three different groupings of coffee. Robusta beans, the mass-marketed brands contain nearly twice the coffeine of arabica and are also more acidic. 'The caffeine indurstry has generated a tremendous amount of propaganda and disseminated it successfully through-out the scientific, medical and public arena'. It makes you wonder, who financed or sponsered Dr Pichler's research.

[@richardcoomer3094]

After retirement I suffered from various non-specific, non-serious abdominal and digestive issues that were constantly bothersome (IBS?) and doctors prescribed anti-spasmodics, antacids anti-emetics whenever symptoms became bad. Then I had two episodes; 1 severe diarrhea - antibiotics After 1 week 2 Bronchitis - other antibiotics. Bronchitis cleared up only after the Antibiotic course and then turned into diarrhea again, which Dr decided to "actively do nothing" and I decided to treat with probiotics. Let me dogress here to say that I was, at that stage, because of weight gain and general listlessness, on a self devised omnivorous keto diet, which had worked and I was very aware and careful of my eating habits. I was generally well, besides the low-key cr@ppy feeling. After a few weeks I was back to my old self again with abd moans and groans, for which I had convinced myself that the two courses of antibiotics had affected my liver, as I tended to feel worse after drinking coffee. I stopped drinking coffee and the symptoms improved dramatically, but just wouldn't disappear altogether. Then, one day while on holiday the peanuts ran out and I found myself without my favorite snack for a few days. The improvement was immediate and total . I haven't eaten another peanut since, and I'll drink an occasional (maybe once every 3 months) cup of coffee and I am totally IBS free for about four years. My point, in respect of this discussion, is that I have learnt over the past ten years that, what we eat & drink has tremendous impact on our health and well-being. If a patient has high blood pressure, let them stop drinking coffee for two weeks and see what happens. What harm could it do? Coffee is not an essential nutrient.

And tried to explain to him about the pharmaceuticals he was on. He never thought he was dehydrated, until one time they couldn't get blood for labs, and said he needmore fluids. He said he didn't feel dehydrated, he didn't know our thirst mechanisms and signals don't work correctly when dehydrated. We'll get mixed signals telling us we're hungry when we're actually needing water. This also means it's affecting our brain at this point, but we don't know realize that while we're in that state. When I told him he was severly dehydrated, he thought I didn't understand his labs. He responded " No, they told me I have stage 4 kidney disease!" I had been telling him for a year, warning him about how the pharms and lack of water were going to kill him. He didn't understand the gravity of what I had been saying. Nor understood the way it related to kidney disease etc... I explained again. Fortunately, he listened this time and followed my advice fully. He quit the statins (THANKGOD) and histamine interfering blood pressure med, and some other pharms, reduced them down to one. He quit drinking cokes, turned the dial way up on his SPRING water intake (NO fluoridated/chlorinated tap water, nor distilled) to the point that's all he drank, & started eating big salads almost daily. 3 months later he had no kidney function problems at all. It was completely reversed. I used to take meds for hypothyroidism. A couple of months of drinking enough water SPRiNG water daily reduced the need for medications down to one, and eventually to none. Water intake is crucial. Most people do not start at the basics. But the basics are where it's at. The most profound healing can happen. It seems so simple it's deemed stupid. But if we're not getting enough of the basics, eventually it causes everything to work incorrectly. Over time illness and disease is guaranteed. Aprox daily water intake needs 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) a day for men 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) a day for women Less active =less, more active = more Seems like a lot to some people. But they forget - over 2 liters of water is used by the body everyday for breathing, perspiring, urine and bowel movements. If we're not replacing that water each day, and our body gets less than it uses, it's going to have an affect on us. If we do not drink enough to replace that water everyday, for a week, a month, a year, a decade... one could only expect deleterious effects in numerous ways. But people just do not want to be inconvenienced by the effort of it, or having to go pee - not realizing this is exactly what needs to happen to flush toxins out of our bodies and to reduce molecular inflammation (root cause) and give our organs and systems a chance to work correctly without such a struggle. Unfortunately people would rather take MORE medication, putting more strain on their system causing additional problems and exacerbating the initial ones. When in just 3 months of drinking enough clean spring water can change their life. There are so many misconceptions about water and fluids, we just cannot count on getting the amount of water we need daily from other drinks besides water. I mean maybe if we're for sure drinking a liter of water a day we could count the other things we drink, but not without calculating what else is in them e.g. some juices and teas cancel themselves out for counting as water intake. I've seen profound dehydration misdiagnosed so many times, into so many different things, that caused so many other serious problems, it's absolutely heart wrenching. Dehydration isn't something you can feel when you have it. Imaging a patient presenting with constipation, fever, vomiting, tachycardia into the ER that automatically has to assum sepsis without labs, and proceeeds with slinging a slew of 5 or 6 broad-spectrum "killer" antibiotics, overloading the patients kidneys, liver, renal system... but an hour later the fever is gone, the tachycardia stops, the vomiting resides - because of the IV fluids! Which presents new problems since the basics like dehydration wasn't considered, so the IV wasn't calculated to rehydrate correctly causing hyponeutremia, SIADH, metabolic acidosis etc.... And obviously the patient did not need all those antibiotics which caused acute kindney injury and end up diagnosed with all sorts of other things even renal failure, all attributed to the wrong things, because the patients true condition, the underlying profound dehydration, isn't ever identified or acknowledged, which would explan so much of what is going on with the patients labs, especially in light of the antibiotic onslaught, and would make for correct diagnoses and allow for the patient to get the correct treatment that helps! This type of thing in various ways happens so much, it's an epidemic. If a doctor does not cover the basics, inquire about water intake and encourage more, and is only about "practicing" more medicines on you, then get a new doctor because your health, healing, and quality of life is not any of their concern. I remember hearing a long time ago that if you drank a gallon of spring water over the course of a day, that you could eat whatever you wanted and would not have health or weight issues. I used to think that's impossible and bogus. Turns out it's true, it covers the amount of water your body uses a day, plus extra to clean out all other toxins exposed to too. Since not working extrenuously all day everday I don't chug 3liters like I used to, but still shoot for a minimum of 2. Eventually your body gets used to the water intake after about a week or so and you don't have to pee anymore than usually after that. Your body starts letting you know it's thirsty too, you'll start to CRAVE water like the air you breathe. Plus the thought of short changing body, freaks you out. Lol Apologies for so much unwarranted information, I'm just so passionate about the life changing possibilities such a simple thing can bring, I sometimes can't help help myself.

Well this is interesting, but I didn't hear him mention that there are 2 different liver enzymes that break down coffee, and which one you produce is dependent on genetics, so they really needed to split the people up into 2 groups. This would have a big impact on the amount of time people were affected. The second thing I would like to mention is that I used to drink caffeinated coffee and my blood pressure went up per his slides but my heart rate dropped considerably. If I checked my heart rate while sitting relaxed it would be around 65bpm and if I had 1 cup of coffee (cappuccino style) my heart rate would drop to 50-54. One time it went down to 48. This was 100% repeatable. In any case because I had high blood pressure and with caffeine it would go much higher I gave up caffeine all together. pre coffee somewhere between 135/90 and 160/100 and after coffee between 170/110 and 171/110. Note the wide range pre coffee and the narrow range post coffee. Interesting side note, when drinking 5-7 cups of cappuccino including just before going to bed I never had trouble sleeping, and after going cold turkey I never got headaches. Also after ceasing caffeine consumption I was still able to work 20 hours per day.

By using water as a control the researchers are testing the effects of coffee, but if decaf coffee is used as the control then they are testing the effects of caffeine. At least that is my opinion on the topic. Again, an excellent presentation on coffee and kidney health.

[@K9jerryleex]

Such an interesting lecture. I am not a scientist and I had to look up some of the words… great lecture! Thanks

[@WhirledPublishing]

Summary: In 1683, Ottoman troops were invading the city of Vienna when the Polish army showed up to help defend Vienna - the Ottoman troops then took off to the south, leaving their tents and personal possessions which included their coffee beans - this sudden supply of coffee beans resulted in the Viennese becoming addicted to coffee which then spread across all of Europe and Russia, to North America, etc. Fast forward: If you drink coffee - or other sources of caffeine - or if you overdose on coffee, the damage to your health, your memory, etc., will be detrimental and debilitating - however, if your intake of caffeine is intermittent and not excessive, the caffeine can help with water retention and energy without detrimental effects to your liver, kidneys, your blood, your memory and so on. If you take sugar with your coffee - or milk - the damage to your well-being is exacerbated exponentially.

I would think if you switch to a decaffeinated, milk based drink like a Latte or a Cappuccino you can still enjoy the coffee taste with far fewer concerns associated with caffeine. Toss in an alternative milk product like oat milk or almond milk if so desired or needed. Decaf probably has some concerns of its own, however I would expect those issues would be significantly less. In the end as others have stated, moderation is always highly beneficial. Nice share!

One thing not mentioned is that coffee causes a choloric bowl of acid to form in the stomach and this effect stresses the body its pancreas and the acidity level of the blood stream. No analysis was given to the acidic content of coffee it is NOT watermelon juice it is acid. Caffiene will also cause spikes in energy and depletion in energy. There fore it is better to drink with a glass of water to reduce the acid in the blood causing further health issiues. And all this study proves is that the old orginal generation knew more without science on its effect. Having a piece of fruit before and wafter with a glass of water will help neutralise coffees over acidic effects. A diet too acidic causes the Pancreas to shoot too much IGF1 to break it down plus it tries to keep the blood at 7.35-7.45Ph by shooting bicarb. When this is ineffective the body will call on calcium to try to normalise the bloods ph level - Calcium from the bones. As an iridologist if your want to see if someones bodies is sick do this and try the remedies very simple. Take a full picture of their IRIS. Look around the eye 1. if there is white dots like a clock forming they have too much waste products built up and need to flush acid out of their Lymphatic System (3x the size of the blood system). 2. If there is yellow around the pupil there is Kidney problems again acidic diet and not enough water and cucumbers. do item 1 as well 3. If there is orange around the pupil there body is chronically ill in the Pancreas and a complete dietary overhaul to natural fruits in the am and veges in the pm with water with sweet potatos. 4. If there is brown around the pupil and in spots Tumours are formning and the liver is basically blocked do what is in items 1- 3 and add lemons to water to help remove bile built up from cleaning a dirty bowel suggest colonic irrigations too Appendicitis is commonly an alarm bells your digestion is blocked and filthy. 5. If you see black blotches or patches unless they were there at birth then you have cancer. SO Do all of items 1-4 for a year. Eat zero meats, package foods as they are 3-7 x harder to digest than wholesome Nutrabullet fibrous juices and water with a pinch of healthy sea salt for cell electricity and alkalising and cleansing the blood. Juicing allows the body plenty of healing energy time instead of sapping digestive time - AM fruit to energise the body and detoc in the am. Then PM veges rebuild in the pm . Simple

In the Muslim Ottoman culture the guest would be treated with utmost courtesy and instead of asking them if they would care to eat coffee would be served along with a glass of water. If the guest chose the water then it was the indication that the guest is hungry and next they would be invited to the diner. If coffee was preferred then there was no need to ask them if they would care to eat something. That is the unique tradition of Ottomans which is almost died down these days among modern Turks.
