Studies on the side-effects of caffeine.
OAKLAND, California (UPI) -- Coffee may be good for life. A major study has found fewer suicides among coffee drinkers than those who abstained from the hot black brew.
The study of nearly 130,000 Northern California residents and the records of 4,500 who have died looked at the effects of coffee and tea on mortality.
Cardiologist Arthur Klatsky said of the surprising results, ``This is not a fluke finding because our study was very large, involved a multiracial population, men, women, and examined closely numerous factors related to mortality such as alcohol consumption and smoking.''
The unique survey also found no link between coffee consumption and death risk. And it confirmed a ``weak'' connection of coffee or tea to heart attack risk -- but not to other cardiovascular conditions such as stroke.
The study was conducted by the health maintenance organization Kaiser Permanente and was reported Wednesday in the Annals of Epidemiology.

Iron Chef - No Heartburn Coffee
Iron Chef (of TV fame) has decided to produce and sell a full flavored caffeine coffee which will not cause heartburn.
They were primarily interested in a coffee blend which passes the rigid taste standards of the Iron Chef, while at the same time processed naturally, to reduce or eliminate anything in the coffee which introduces or encourages acidity in the stomach.
what are some big side effects being a coffee drinker?
Hi everyone, I am 31 years old and a huge coffee drinker. I've been drinking coffee since I was a kid. Well I have a question I hope someone can help answer. Lately I've been drinking coffee every morning and noticed after drining my first cup or second cup, my stomach would began to tighten up and begin cramping. I of course love my coffee and drink more. Then I have to run to the bathroom.
I was wanting to know, by me drinking so much coffee, could the caffine be messing up my stomach and causing serious harm? I'm just worried about my health, because i have a beautiful son that was born Christmas day last year, and I want to be healthy. Me being a coffee lover, I hope I'm not going to have to quit. I did hear coffee causes ulcers.
I do agree that coffee has
I do agree that coffee has its benefits and has its worsts. All I know about it is that too much coffee may cause uric acid and may give you urine infection (UTI). It can also dry up your skin. While its benefits include less risk of heart attacks and has a calming effect for people with high blood pressure and who are drunk.

To Much Coffee?
Is there a link between drinking to much coffee and nitrogeon narcosis? I think there might be. Having been drinking about 24 cups every day, I began experiencing the same side effects that divers who experience nitrogeon narcosis experience. Confusion, a punch drunk feeling.
Has anyone experienced this???
Drinking 50 cups of coffee in one day
I recently saw a poster for a company's coffee of the month, "Voltaire's Blend". Supposedly he drank 50 cups a day. If I were to try such a thing, spacing the cups out evenly through out the day, what would happen to me? I am considering it, just to see if it's possible. I normally drink between 3-9 cups per day of black coffee, which no longer gives me any kind of boost. I just want to make sure it isn't extremely dangerous. Slightly dangerous is okay.
Considering that drinking an
Considering that drinking an outrageous amount of water can be lethal, I am sure drinking a similarly outrageous amount of coffee could do the same. You're body (circulatory system in particular) isn't made to process that large of an amount of anything.
That sounds very dangerous;
That sounds very dangerous; DON'T DO IT.
If nothing else you'd throw up from that much coffee in your stomach.
Doesn't sound like a good idea
That may be a "bit" too much, i sure would not do it. It's like people taking 3-5 energy drinks a day, some may be ok with that, but it sure is not for everyone :) I know a girl that takes 6-7 coffees a day, but she would not make it past 15 fore sure.
dont do it
that can kill you if you have that much caffeine!!!!! dont do it
Wrong cup
I went to Pete's Coffee and had a 16 oz cup of regular coffee by mistake. I requested decaf, but she must have made a mistake. I had not had regular coffee in 2 years and WOW. I felt a surge of energy like never before and for two hours I was very assertive, aggressive and fast at work. Then two hours later I developed extremely sweaty palms and they are still sweaty 12 hours later as I write this comment. While at work I felt like every call I received was going to be some terrible news and every time I saw a patient, he was going to unhappy with my care. Needless to say, coffee is poison for my brain. I am very sensitive to it now more than ever. Too bad b/c I liked the effects of the first two hours. Thank God the effects are temporary b/c I hate the sense of impending doom. I will be back to my happy self tomorrow. If you are sensitive to caffeine, DON'T BE STUPID Avoid it and be happy. Life is too short for self inflicted suffering.
