You're drinking the blood of dead brazilians every time you drink non-fair trade coffee. So make sure you drink ALOT!

Fuck you people coffee is fantastic.
Just know that it doesn't keep you awake, it just gives you a buzz and raises your focus.

Caffeine is the active ingredient in coffee (don't say that you already know that, one'd be surprised at how many people do not know this). If you want to know the effects of caffeine, check the wikipedia page on it. If you don't trust that, just follow the links on the bottom as references. I'm lazy, so I just skimmed through the wikipedia article. It seems that caffeine would have a number of benefits. Yes, after extended regular use of caffeine, you become dependent on it, but that is similar to a case of using sleep-aids to fall asleep. Also, like fucking everything in this world, consuming too much of something will kill you. You _CAN_ overdose on coffee, but it's relatively difficult (can YOU drink 80-100 cups of coffee in an hour?). If you're really concerned, talk to either a pharmacist, or your physician. (wow, I sounded like some kind of medication advertisement in that last sentence there)

Who the fuck doesn't know this? Like seriously, maybe they wouldnt know what active ingredient means, but if you ask them what makes coffee works, 99% of people are gonna say caffeine..

Coffee is great. If you care so much about stained teeth, just get them whitened.

I don't drink it. I tend to wake up more than well enough with an orange or an apple.

Not so great when you are rolling around at night unable to sleep. I only got 4 hours sleep last night, felt like shit around 9pm and had alot of work to do so i decided to make a speedy gonzales - 6 spoons of coffee, 10 sweetners, milk, 3 caffeine pills and a nice big mug.

I bought caffeine gum once to stop me drinking coffee so much, tastes like shit.

Coffee is useless. I chugged some in the morning once. Raised my heart rate and thats about it. I still felt like going back to bed.

There's some studies that show health benefits and some that show downsides... and a good amount of conflicting studies. If you enjoy it and it doesn't keep you up at night, go for it - there's a fuckload of other things that should be cut out of a diet before coffee IMO.

You'll get just as much benefit out of a piece of fruit and you won't gradually kill yourself every morning.

don't drink too much coffee. Xylitol gum, removes the bad aftertaste and stench.

Isn't that just a bit extreme?

As long as your consumption is moderate, it's fine and it may even have some benefits.

Thanks for all the fearmongering guys, but I think I'll trust Harvard Medical School before you.

Nay on coffee. But, that's because I prefer tea. Not for any specific reason. Just like tea more.

You guys are idiots. Caffeine won't kill you, but over consumption has side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, etc. One cup of coffee a day isn't going to kill you. For people who are supposed to be tough, a lot of you are little bitches.

Yes it will, try caps instead of coffee.

ld50 of caffeine is 5 grams, most tabs are 200 mg.

If you're gonna slam down 25 tabs of caffeine, I'm pretty sure you're trying to kill yourself anyway.

Confirmed. There is an LD50 for caffeine. Look it up. Will cause death by ventricular fibrillation if overdosed. Long-term moderate consumption has benefits, but extreme doses of caffeine will kill you (just like anything else)
