Coffee - can it kill you?

[Luckystar88]

Despite my strong belief that coffee is good for you, I hear lots and lots of stories about how energy drinks can damage you and even kill you. I even heard about a woman who drank a lot of energy drinks and died. I was wondering if this can happen when you drink coffee? Maybe I'm wrong, but I sure am interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks

Guy, everyone dies because of flying planes or drinking coffee. Who told these facts and what arguments did they gave?) I saw many women forums where they said that coffee kills that smoking kills, the drinking kills.. Of course, each product kills if you don`t feel your measure))

Anything you take too much of can kill you in my opinion 

 

Agree with FruityJelena. Generally in life, I try to stick by the ancient Greek saying: "Nothing in excess". Everything in moderation.

Of course, if you`ll drink it without any thought about your well-being, you`ll suffer from the excessive consumption of this energetic drink. The main thing is that it changes the rhythm of your heart and all. And when it changes so often (depends on how often you drink the coffee) and how strong the rhythm changes (depending on how much you drink the coffee per one time) you can regulate your  well-being after drinking as much as to damage. The main thing you should realize is that you need to know your normal rhythm and to drink so much coffee which will not change it so fast and so unnatural for your state without it =)

I used to drink coffee but with just half a teaspoon and with milk. That's since High School. 

When I started working in a call center, there's a free coffee everywhere but the amount of caffeine in it I think was strong. It always gave me palpitations. So I stopped drinking coffee. That's almost 8 years now. Whenever I buy at Starbucks, I make sure it's caffeine free. 

It's true that energy drinks and coffee can kill. We have different histories in our health and our bodies react differently to anything. And yes, they're right. Anything should be in moderation. Overdoing it will kill people even going to the gym.

They say that coffee has some health benefits but I agree that it should be taken moderately. If you really can't live without coffee, then you can try lessening the portion and put more milk in it. 

[OnRed]

Everything in moderation is ok for you I would think.

 

i think people who are happy and do not worry about such things or deny themselves are healthy in the long run.

[DanielleDavidson]

I mean I"m sure that if you drink an excessive amount then it would kill you. Most of the time that that happens it's when someone is being stupid, and that's why they die.

We have different body types and some people can take big doses of caffeine and some don't. So it depends on your body, age, and health. I say, we should be drinking in moderation. May it be coffee or alcoholic beverages.

I can live just fine without coffee, but I try a sip now and then, but never after 1-2 pm. I'd rather have a green tea in the morning. Much healthier, for me at least.

No more than 3 cups per day is good for your heart

[Mike222]

I like coffee. I need at least one cup per day, especially in the morning.

From what I know, regular coffee intake can help with stuff like Alzheimers on the long term. However, having too much caffeine when you have prior heart conditions can cause serious problems.

[KastroJohnese54]

Is this true tho?

[eabrams]

That happened because people overdosed on caffeine and died. Ingesting any substance above the prescribed quantity can be (and will probably be) harmful to one's health. If you have hypertension, obviously, you should be avoiding coffee.

Excess of anything is very bad. So everyone should do according to the limit. Coffee helps to refresh body and mind at the same time. 

[Player12]

No, it can't kill me, because I love it too much

[St3perza]

Every drink is like a drug if you take it out of control. Coffee is the same, I drink coffee but not all the time. Just before working I drink a cup of coffee to waking me up and maybe a second cup to start my daily routine.

This is the first time an upper limit has been set for safe coffee consumption and cardiovascular health. "Coffee is the most widely consumed stimulant in the world (it wakes us up, increases our energy and helps us concentrate), but people always wonder 'how much caffeine is too much'. Consuming coffee regularly but very strongly can cause harmful health effects.

[ProfessorX]

Too much of something is bad. But cofee especially for its caffeine that provoques addiction, plus the effects on your brain decrease with the same dosis, that makes the person drink more and more to get that effect 

[gebener]

Theoretically, it can. Practically, I doubt you will drink that much coffee. On the other hand, some effect can be felt after a lot of coffee cups.

[Ereepliefor]

What's about coffe plus energy drinks?

[cromL]

Energy drinks contain a large amount of caffeine, the excess consumption of which can lead to health problems (heart rhythm disturbances, hypertension, anxiety, insomnia, etc.). So, you only increase the effect of the destruction of your body.
