Every
day people around the world drink millions of cups of coffee. It has
become a staple of life. We see a StarBucks on every corner.
Is coffee really this good or is it so addictive?
I
think it is both really. I think good coffee almost has a sexy taste to
it. It tastes rich and full bodied. Not many things can compare to it.
Maybe chocolate, but that is another article all together. You love to
drink coffee. You love a good cup of steaming hot Joe on a cold
morning. Watching the steam come off the coffee as it snows outside is
a very relaxing thought.

 Is coffee good or bad for you?
Well,
I think it depends on who you ask. Usually what you will find is these
scientists are paid by a company that wants to prove a point. Simply
put, they pay the scientists off. As in all things, you must drink
coffee in moderation. A cup or two each day isn't going to be bad for
you. If on the other hand you are drinking a pot every hour, you know
that it will have an effect on you. I have known people who drink
coffee like this. They drink it from the time they wake up to the time
they go to bed. This is common in alcoholics. Let's talk about some of
the bad things about coffee.

Coffee stains your teeth.
We
all know what the color of coffee stained teeth are. It is up there
with cigarette smoke stained teeth. You can buy things to whiten your
teeth. I would suggest though that instead of trying to whiten your
teeth, you cut back a little on the brew.
Bad breath.
Have
you ever had a whiff of the breath of someone who is a heavy coffee
drinker? It smells horrible. I would rather smell shit with flies
buzzing around it.
It raises stress levels.
Too
much coffee can raise anxiety levels. When this happens, you can become
stressed out. This shouldn't be news to you. Have you ever seen how
much a person shakes after they drink too much coffee?
It can raise the risk of a heart attack.
While
science is still somewhat out on this, it shouldn't be much of a
surprise. If it elevates the heart and blood pressure, too much of it
can't be a good thing.
Sterility.
Yes, it can effect the little guys swimming in your semen. It can actually lower your sperm count.
I know that may sound too weird to be true, but it is.
Stomach problems.
People who drink too much coffee may have some stomach problems. The caffeine irrates the lining of the stomach.
Here are some of the benefits of coffee.
It prevents prostate cancer.
This is too weird, but it is true. Coffee contains boron, which is a chemical that helps curb prostate cancer.
It is a good social drink.
You
don't drink alcohol? Well, people go to the coffee house to chat all
the time. A cup of coffee could be a good reason to go out and meet new
people. A cup once and while can't hurt. You never know, you might meet
a good friend over that cup of Joe.
It helps wash down a meal.
In
many cultures it is impolite to either start a meal or finish one
without having a cup of coffee. No one is certain that coffee actually
helps the digestion process, but it sure tastes good after a meal.
As with all things in life, you need to do things in moderation.
If
you feel that you are over doing it, you need to cut back on the
coffee. I know that coffee might taste good, but in the long run you
are doing yourself more harm than good. Just keep in mind that one or
two cups per day isn't going to hurt you.
