Is coffee good or bad?

Drinking coffee has its pros and cons. If I will base it on my own experience or personal opinion coffee is bad in a way that it gives me hyperacidity.. Coffee is addicting plus it dehydrates. It's beneficial because it contains antioxidants; so there, it help cleanse my body. If you want an article on this, you can check this: http://hubpages.com/hub/coffee-pros-cons Too much of something isn't always good. So.. everything should be taken in moderation.

I drink coffee every day. If drinking coffee does not directly make me sick, I will still be drinking. Or if I drink coffee directly die, then I will not be able to drink again. Happy myLotting.

Good coffee is naturally brewed coffee. It has antioxidants that help you clean your body. Bad coffee is instant coffee :D it has more toxins that antioxidants. However, I haven't read of how instant coffee is and the extent of toxins in it. And no studies have revealed yet that they do much damage - unless you already have an underlying condition directly affected by caffeine. If you're after anti-oxidants and still want a kick of caffeine try tea (brisk tea is cheap, or black tea which is even better). My sister stopped drinking coffee because of sleeping problems, she's only drinks tea now :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Hi sir, personally I can't drink coffee for many reasons. One would be because of palpitations every after drinking it, and the worst is getting gastritis after. I think the principle "too much of something is bad enough" can always be applied in everything that we take in our body. Other people may not see the harmful effects now, but perhaps in the future.

In fact now we drink coffee not only coffee origin but mixed with milk, ginger, honey or other,,the real problem of coffee for our healthy is about caffein content in our drink but now this not serious problem because many process can be setup to reduce caffein content and simple way is mixed with other substance to give us new taste and experience with coffee,,,,hehehe i almost forget this time to drink coffee,,,kwkwk

i love coffee, it used to be my bestfriend during my college years...hehe really, coffee does good on me, it keeps me energize, and ive read an article about it that it can improve metabolism which is good for people who have problems w/ their weight..like me. ^_^

I've also had the same dilemma. When i was a kid there's this article which says that coffee advances aging and now they're saying that coffee is good for the health because it's got antioxidants. So i really don't know and unfortunately i won't be able to answer your question. I don't drink much coffee. I noticed that it's giving me dry skin.

im not really a coffee lover but i depended on coffee to much during the nights that i have to stay up.. after having a cup, i palpitate and during the day i suffered mild chest pain.. though its good that it has anti-oxidant, i think its side effects are more risky to your health.. but i dont have other options but to consume a cup whenever there's a need for me to do..

I really dont know if it is good or bad. But one thing is sure, I love coffee!

I believe that it goes back to the old adage, "anything in moderation." Myself, I am a true coffee lover, I love the taste, I love the smell of it in the bag, and I love to hear it brewing! My mornings would be awful without a couple of cups. But, I don't drink huge amounts of it either. A couple of cups in the morning and thats it! I can't drink it past noon or I can't sleep that evening.

Coffee is good. I love coffee. the effect of coffee in me is kinda weird but has a scientific explanation. Everytime I drink coffee, my stomach begins to grumble and then I feel the urge to defecate (you know what it means). It has antioxidant that fights harmful things in the body. However, too much coffee can be addicting. Tht makes it bad.

Got to admit coffee is another drinf that soothe my tastebuds. Aw refreshing. I even using it for my mild asthma attack because it has a mild bronchodilator effect according to my readings. But of course, we should do things in moderation a glass or 2 might be helpful but excessive is already the question of health. The rule of nature: excessive and deficits could cause problems.

well, for the facts, coffee contains caffeine that they says is bad for our health. But in my case i do drink a lot of coffee, it's like day wont die without coffee, because coffee makes me feel energized...Furthermore, i did not experience yet the bad effect of coffee, they say it will be on my older days...but well...no one knows what we have in the future, so i will just cross the bridge when i get there...

I love drinking coffee because it keeps me awake especially when I work.And sometimes I just like to drink coffee and I like savoring the taste and aroma of the coffee. With your question,yes it is true that coffee is an anti-oxidant.Many studies have proven it.But as the saying goes"too much of something is bad enough".I think that applies to drinking coffee because sometimes when I drink coffee a lot I get palpitations.And it also keeps me awake thus giving me hard time to sleep at night. I think we have to drink coffee with limitations.I don't know how much we have to take in a day. But all i have to say is that coffee is the best!!!.

If I die from drinking coffee, I hope it's quick and painless. I really like my coffee -- with flavored creamer, thank you. I've heard comments on both sides of the coffee debate. I don't know what the truth is. I just know I'm not going to stop drinking it.
