    Everything in moderation right? If drinking a cup of coffee means I'm not going to devour something else in the kitchen, it's all good.

    It is said there are a lot of things that are 'bad' for us, and unless you have a medical issue I suppose its a case of everything in moderation

    Oh brother. Here we go.

    I've been drinking coffee for better than 30 years. And, I drink A LOT. If it was bad for me, I should know.

    All the research in all the studies all over the world is inconclusive. Therefore, all you will get are peoples opinions on what they think which is based on a pop culture magazine they read somewhere, or in a news clip on TV. But, there is no conclusive evidence either way.

    So,. drink it. Don't drink it. Doesn't matter.

    That's why I asked for options from real people, not studies.

    Sure it is. It has all kinds of crazy side effects and can be wearing on your heart.

    This is just plain false.

    Nope. YOUR comment is just plain false:
    http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20020801/is-caffeine-bad-for-your-heart

    Nope here is the same website with a different take: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/coffee-new-health-food

    The answer is that there is no scientific evidence that coffee is bad (or beneficial). It is solely a preference.

    Bottom line; if it raises YOUR blood pressure it IS bad for you. Although it may not raise everyone's blood pressure.

    Therefore, yeah, coffee CAN be bad for you. Depends.

    PS: Caffeine and coffee shouldn't be used interchangeably. There is such a thing as decaf... That's a note more for myself then anyone else.

    So very true........... Unless they want to lose their head from me biting it off, step away until I have had my coffee!

    I'm intolerant to caffeine. That's pretty conclusive. For me. It's bad. Period.

    But, that's different right. The coffee isn't bad, generally for people, only for you.

    People with a peanut allergy, yes, a peanut is bad for them. But, for 99.9% of everyone else, the peanut is awesome and has good fats.

    Let's keep this in the proper perspective. We're not talking about YOU. Were talking about if coffee is generally bad for humans to consume.

    Please see above.

    If it raises an individuals blood pressure it's bad.
    If it doesn't, it isn't.

    So that's my general opinion of it.

    Not for me, but I don't drink a lot of it - only one mug per day (about 10-12 ounces) plus once in awhile if someone offers it socially I'll have one.

    Coffee is particularly good for me, since it keeps me in a job:bigsmile: . DH and I run a coffee roastery, so it pays our bills.

    As most of the others said, 'all things in moderation'.

    unless you have some underlying cardiac issues, then coffee is ok. Yes, it is a stimulant, which will raise your blood pressure, and heart rate but so will stress, increased physical activity, and other stimulants. So there is no right answer to this question... it's different with each person.
