Drinking coffee too much is injurious to health

I know I drink too much coffee but I get headaches when I don't have a couple of cups. Especially in the morning.

A I would often say, anything taken in excess, is bad for our health. It is fine to drink a cup of coffee a day coz it has antioxidants that can be beneficial to us. However, taking too much of it will cause sleeplessness and palpitations due to the caffeine.

I don't drink coffee but my mom used to, she doesn't anymore except once in awhile because she's on a diet.

I agree that to much coffee is probably hard on your body. Mixed feeling from the web, some say that coffee is good for you and some say it is not. I myself have 1-2 cups a day. I have been trying to ween myself off slowly so as not to get severe headaches. Taking vitamins to get my energy boost instead. I love the Alive vitamins for the herb store. Much better.

I drink 5 or 6 cups of coffee per day, have for 15 years or more. never bothered me a bit. I use equal sugar in mine..

Coffee puts too much stress on the adrenal gland, cacao too. Everything in moderation, that's my advice... :)

I drink several cups of coffee in a day. Sometimes I take coffee to keep awake during nights. I know it is not a good habit but I am unable to get over it. I want to reduce the intake of coffee gradually. It will also help me save some money too!

Hi mansoak, I think anything taken in excess is bad for one's health. It's be like 'poison' to the body as the body needs to get rid of it and sometimes not quick enough. And that can give rise to health problems. But what is too much for one may be ok for another. So I guess only that person can know if it's bad for his/her health. So my take is to consume anything with moderation and you'll be fine. Have a nice day.

I am fond of drinking coffee every morning. I feel sleepy at work whenever I forget my coffee.

Coffee is very good for the health. It does prevent acidity when drank with something in the stomach. It wakes the mind up. It is also known to be very good for the skin. But all these good effects are reversed when it is drank too much. In other words, too much is always bad. I am used to drinking 3 to 4 cups a day but now I just consume 1 to 2 cups. I just found myself shivering and palpitating even. Now everything is good again after cutting down my consumption.

Actually I think drinking 3-4 cups a day is not a problem. In fact most doctors nowadays think coffee has generally positive effects on health. Myself I usually drink two cups a day. Until 24 I didn't drink coffee at all. But then work and stress made me start drinking it. There are far worse things you eat and drink than coffee, and you eat and drink them daily.

I drink one or two cups of coffee everyday since i was in college... i hope it doesn't give any bad effect for my health... Last time i check my health to a doctor... he said that i'm healthy...

Hi ! Anything that is too much is dangerous. What i loved in a coffee is that it is good for kidneys since it is a good diuretic. Yes it contains caffeine dangerous to our heart. I think any intake should be in desirable amount only and in excess would always mean risk .

I'm also conserned about this. I drink alit of coffee. Is it true it can make you use the toilet more?

I think it is good to drink coffee on a moderate time. I am not aware of effect of coffee on blood sugar levels. I will look on internet to know more about it. Most probably I think coffee do change mood of a person.

As we all know, too much of anything is bad for our health. I'm a coffee addict too, the most is 4 to 5 cups a day. It also depends especially if I have something that needs to be finished, the tendency is I drank more to stay awake. Coffee is rich with antioxidants too that's good for our body. In moderation is perfect just to be safe.

Coffee, I think this depends on the person and their physical make up. If I start to drink coffee, I will gain water weight. I know for some it is a diuretic, but for me it makes he retain water. as with everything, just in moderation. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/caffeine/NU00600

Yes that is true, too much drinking coffee is really bad for your health it will have negative effect on blood sugar level and can interfere the absorption of minerals in the body, increase the risk of myocardial infarction, brings harm to the stomach(promote gastric secretions and gastric acids) and also lead to addiction. Coffee has advantages as well as disadvantages to the body. Control the amount when drinking coffee, do not drink too much otherwise it will lead you to harm.
