As with many of life's pleasures, controversy abounds. It is certain that some people, who may be allergic or have life threatening aggravations to coffee, should abstain from any coffee. Others can seemingly tolerate unlimited amounts. However for most people moderate amounts can contribute to the simple pleasures of the pallet without dire consequences. The key is quantity and quality. There is much research concerning both the negative effects of coffee drinking as well as the benefits. Much of the press focuses on caffeine; however there are many other not so researched chemicals that contribute to both the negatives and positives. Many of the Pro's and Con's, from various studies that can be found on the internet, are listed below: Cons: - coffee is a central nervous system stimulator that gives the adrenals a kick and causes production of the stress handling hormone adrenalin and the production of more cortisol resulting in short term benefits of heigtened awareness/alertness and more energy, but long term may result in a crash after each consumption to lower levels of energy than previously thereby necessitating another cup and another cup, etc. Thus, it may be addictive and ultimately may result in adrenal exhaustion. - Even though coffee has never been conclusively linked to cancer, it does contain acknoledged carcinogens such as caffeine and other chemicals produced by the high heat of roasting such as creosate, pymdine, tars, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Caffeine interferes with adenosine, a brain chemical that normally has a calming effect - Cortisol level are raised which in turn results ub constriction of the blood vessels, harder pumping of the heart and higher blood pressure - The liver in fetuses and newborns cannot metabolize caffeine, so it remains in the body for up to four days stimulating the nervous system resulting in irritability and sleeplessness - Coffee is associated with low birth weight, birth defects, miscarriages, premature birth, inability to conceive, and sluggish sperm - Many of the chemicals in coffee and decaf irritate the stomach lining causing an increase of stomach acid leading to digestive disorders - Coffee, including decaf, has high amounts of vitamin K, which affects coagulability of the blood - bad for people at risk of heart attack, stroke and blood clots - decrease quality of sleep Prons: - There are scientific studies that refute most if not all of the above listed negative effects - Many of the old studies showing the bad effects of coffee may be attributed to not taking into amount whether the person also smoked. In addition, coffee drinker before 1975 used unfiltered and percolated coffee. After 1975, the filters for preparing coffee removed most of the chemicals, like terpenes, that cause elevations in homocysteine and cholesterol resulting in better results. Also, early Finnish studies when people still drank boiled coffee has higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Later studies using coffee preparations other than boiled did not show an associated rheumatoid arthritis risk - Caffeine increases intellectual activity when fatigued or bored - Caffeine speeds up fat metabolism during exercise while conserving glycogen and glucose thereby maintaining brain activity and reducing hunger - Caffeine prevents crystallization of cholesterol and reduces risk of development gallstones - Caffeine has a protective effect against cirrhosis of the liver - Caffeine has shown a protective effect against color cancer likely due to enhanced coloric activity of the colon and antimutagenic components in coffee - Coffee may lower the incidence of Parkinson's disease due to high anti-oxidant activity - Th theophylline in coffee may be protective against asthma - Coffee has four times the anti-oxidants of Green Tea, makes an excellent anti-depressant, and enhances performance and memory - Caffeine dilates the arteries of the brain and may counter migraines. (Caffeine is also cause of migraines) - Coffee may reduce the incidence of kidney stones by increasing the flow of urine and decreasing its concentration - Coffee lessens the incidence of bladder cancer in smokers due to its diuretic effect
