Like all drugs,the world's favourite pick-me-up is also debated to have some side effects.Here are some of its minuses.
-Caffeine increases blood pressure.
-Can cause palpitations,insomnia,tremors,diarrhea and increased urination.
-Caff. withdrawal may cause headaches,drowsiness,depression and grumpiness.
-Unfiltered ones increases bad LTL cholesterol.
-Coffee drinkers tend to be smokers.
Simon McNeil,a nutrition correspondent of a popular men's portal(askmen.com) warns us that overdoing(4-5 mugs a day)our -bitter and caustic- daily 'cup of Joe' can over stimulate the nerves and generate some nasty side effects.It can leave the drinker feeling restless,irritable and make his hands tremble.In extreme cases it may create severe insomnia.Other weird effects according to 'Uncle Sim' are 'Copious Urination' and 'Facial Flushing'.
But fret not,as for most adults there is little evidence of health risk.
The other least bitter thing about it is;-That it makes your semen taste more bitter.
So,Hazelnuts,anyone?

Thank you very much for sharing this information. I find this very helpful. Makes me understand better why the doctor had been insistent that coffee is bad for me. By the way, I hope it won't offend you but I shared your item with a mylot client who asked some facts about coffee and I found your discussion suitable for him.
