I will mention whether coffee is a healthy option.

On the contrary, there are several studies that show coffee is beneficial to our health, in prolonging life and boosting heart and brain health. However, the most healthy form of coffee is black coffee, with no sugar or creamer.

Drinking 2 coffees every day has many health benefits, but too much can increase the risk of heart disease.
 
causation vs correlation is a problem with studies that conclude things like this and most of the time results are cherry picked to match desired outcomes. nutritional studies by Ancel Keys is the classic example. for decades it was know that low fat diets did not work, yet backed by his "studies" people were directed to wrong conclusions that, to this day, still negatively effect their health.
 
I hope not, I've been drinking coffee most of my adult life. It has not done me anything like the harm overeating has.
 
As we know that very well, taking anything in excess can be harmful to our health .. About coffee I will say two cup coffee of per day has no bad effects on your health.
 
I drink soooooo much coffee during the day.
Pros: It keeps me from drinking sugary drinks
Cons: I don't drink nearly enough water
 
Hi! I’ve switched from DD to a healthier coffee that aides in me losing weight and is healthy for you. If you would like more info, please reach out :)
 
Hi Gymclock, Just like any other consumables, Coffee has its good sides and its bad sides, but its advisable we always looks out for the benefits. I want to believe you are referring to Black coffeee. I'll mention some benefits i know are embedded in black coffee.
1. A cup of coffee increases your fiber.
2. Coffee is also very good for the liver, it reduces the risk of cirrhosis.
3. Coffee is also known to reduce the risk of Parkinson disease.
4. Risk of a heart disease ins reduced drastically by consumption of Coffee
5. Risk for developing gout (in men) decreases with increasing coffee consumption.
6. Black coffee drunk without adding milk and sugar protects the teeth against cavities as it kills bacteria that promotes tooth decay.

These are just few of the benefits that come handy, however additives like Milk and Sugar work against these benefits, so its advised you have your coffee black and raw:cheers2::cheers2:
 
I drink two cups of coffee, with 1% milk, no sugar, every morning, which amounts to 1/3 cup of 1% milk per day.
I add these into my daily log ( my fitness pal) & maintain a balanced diet.
IMHO the benefits of the calcium, & vitamin D in the milk out weigh the 1% fat content.
As they say "all things in moderation"!

I drink an Organic Coffee, made with Ganoderma Mushrooms that has less caffeine than the average coffee's. It also helps with weight loss, migraines, Insomnia etc.
 
i wish someone would come up with a way to take the coffee color out of coffee. i can tell my teeth have been taking a hit from some slight staining. i looked into laser cleaning (seems to be the new way... i had a UV cleaning done some years ago... excellent results)... but that was February before the pandemic. i'll have to see if they are back open.

Pear drops tooth paste. It works, but it's abrasive so don't use it all the time. (ie once a week)
 
I'm a daily coffee drinker.
The simple answer is here, yes, and for multiple reasons.

First of all, it dehydrates you, and if you use sugar in your coffee it's especially bad for you and your teeth.

Second, caffeine disrupts and confuses the body at the level of individual cells' metabolisms. Caffeine is an adenosine agonist, causing cells to think they have more ATP (the cell's 'energy currency') than they actually do. The cell ends up spending energy it didn't have, leading to the 'caffeine crash' later, as well as jitters, and even feelings of severe anxiety.

Coffee is also counter-productive to weight loss. To recover from the lack of ATP, you may have noticed you feel rather uneasy after drinking coffee until you eat something. I also recommend slamming cups of water along with it to offset the dehydration.
 
Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, which sends direct signals to the fat cells, telling them to break down fat Effect of caffeine on the metabolic responses of lipolysis and activated sweat gland density in human during physical activity


The rate at which you burn calories at rest is called resting metabolic rate (RMR).
Studies show that caffeine can increase RMR by 3–11%, with larger doses having a greater effect Normal caffeine consumption: influence on thermogenesis and daily energy expenditure in lean and postobese human volunteers - PubMed


Caffeine is one of the few supplements proven to be performance enhancing but only at high levels of intake, a single cup of coffee won't do it.

While caffeine is a mild diuretic, in a cup of coffee the water used to make the cup is enough to balance out the diuretic effect.

Sugar and other additives to the cup of coffee are a whole different debate.

Some people are sensitive to Caffeine and should not drink it
if so affected and if in doubt seek medical advice from a qualified medical practitioner.
