    i dont think there is too much harm besides possible dehydration with it and of coarse the creamer. i drink 3 cups a day to keep me going because i work 3rd shift. just watch how much creamer you use and drink some water throughout the day too.

    If coffee is wrong, I don't want to be right. I just make sure to log it.

    There's been some stuff in the paper lately (at least where I am, you might google) about the health benefits of coffee. Especially in women. I think it' a couple of calories per cup (like 2 or 3) so if you like it why not drink it?

    Did I read that right....Coffee and Bad in the same sentence? :wink:

    I love coffee, have to have my ONE large cup every morning, unfortunately my creamer sets me back 70 calories, but some things are just WORTH it! It's my one vice!

    Coffee does NOT dehydrate. I really wish that myth would go away. It's full of antioxidants, and it's damn good for you.

    I heard recently that darker roasts actually have some mild health benefits. For the average, healthy adult, coffee causes no problems that I'm aware of-- just don't drink so much that it makes you jittery!! The creamer and sugar is where the calories come from-- Black coffee has 0 calories.

    It's fine and even good for you, unless you overdo it or add a lot of things you don't really need to.

    I just read a magazine article that coffee is pretty good for you. Has antioxidants. They say just to make sure to limit it.

    coffee is ok...I have been told that for every cup of coffee you drink you should counter it with an extra 8oz glass of water on top of the 8 glasses you are already drinking...try decaf it can be included in your 8- 8oz glasses of water

    I can't imagine why it would be bad. Its just coffee beans and water except for the creamer and sugar. Just go light on those two things and as long as you log the calories from them you'll be ok. I always have heard if ya drink a cup before a meal you'll feel fuller faster wether thats true or not. But I do believe Dr. Oz has said coffee is actually good. I know I can't live without it :) Dr. Oz has also said just here recently that real sugar is better for ya than the artificial sweetners, just thought I'd pass that along.

    coffee is very harmful to the body. even decaf isn't great for you. Coffee is highly acidic. Highly acidic foods (not to be confused with the acid in citrus foods) produce fat cells in order to keep the acid away from your body organs. Also, keep in mind that we import coffee beans from other countries where they use harmful insecticides (such as DD7) that even WE don't allow in the US.

    Maybe you could try herbal organic tea to start your day instead? :)

    There is research going on that indicates coffee may be a preventative for Dementia like Alzhiemers. Early yet but mice studies indicate that approx 40oz of black coffee per day may forestall and even regress early stages of Alzhiemers.
