Coffee And Its Effects On Health

This article discusses the affects caffeine has on several aspects of human health. These included toxicity, cardiovascular effects (arrhythmia, heart rate, cholesterol and BP), bone/calcium balance, behavior, and reproductive and developmental effects. It also discussing the affect caffeine intake has on children and reproductive-aged women.

Caffeine is a wildly use drug in today’s society. Caffeine is a methylated xanthine which acts as a mild central nervous system stimulant (MS & RL, 2001). It is a stimulant which acts upon the central nervous system and increases alertness, wakefulness and restlessness and it increases the release of catecholamine from renal medullar (Fernandez, 2016; Collines, 2007). It is present in many beverages. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, products containing chocolate (cocoa) and some medication (Collines, 2007). It is used as a cardiac and respiratory stimulant (Collines, 2007).Caffeine is the most frequently ingested pharmacologically active substance in the world (Collines, 2007).

Can someone tell me why they drink coffee? Well, most people think of it as a powerful drink that gives them energy whenever they need it. I am here to tell you that coffee works a lot differently than most of us think. It does something completely different than what you might expect to your body. And coffee is not the same for everyone, to some living things it’s even poisonous. Even its name is deceiving because coffee is not even a bean at all. I am not here to dissuade you from drinking coffee, but rather inform you about how coffee affects us and how our bodies deal with it. So next time when you chug down a cup you should know what you’re doing to your body.

Fortunately, the current examination has shown coffee to continue a of good health choice, as lengthy as one is not topping more than 3 topping-bout a day. This guideline is based on the deed that the cardinal element found in coffee is a intermix called caffeine. Caffeine is a of nature intermix made from more than 50 vegetable sources. While caffeine in undue amount has been linked to some increased freedom from disease

Although coffee is viewed as a food item, it can be used to understand the rhetoric’s of health, addiction and as a drink.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, adolescents should not consume more than one hundred milligrams a day, and even less so for younger children. Typically, an eight ounce (237 milliliters) drink of brewed caffeinated coffee contains a range of ninety-five to two hundred milligrams of coffee, whereas the same sized drink of decaffeinated coffee will generally have two to twelve milligrams (Nutrition). So, decaffeinated coffee only contains, generally, 0.04% of the caffeine that untreated coffee grounds have. In testing both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, it might be possible to see if the caffeine in the coffee will have a distinct effect

Caffeine has become an integral part of most Americans lives, making it “America's most popular drug by far” (Brian). Most of the country will enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a few sodas during the day. Although most of the world’s population consumes caffeine in either coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks or sodas, the majority of those people are undereducated about the drug. There are many drawbacks to the drug, but also many benefits.

There was a total of 50943 mothers that participated this study from 2002-2008 with their children after singleton pregnancies with the information about the amount of caffeine that were consumed in the mid-pregnancy period. The outcome was measured by the WHO weight gain z- score of >0.67 from birth to age 1 year. Growth model was used to assess individual growth. The result is compared with low caffeine intake among pregnant women (<50 mg/day, 46%) with women on average consumption (50-199 mg/day, 44%) high (≥200–299 mg/day, 7%) and very high (≥300 mg/day, 3%). The caffeine intake had a higher risk for the increase in overweight among the infant growth compared to the confounds (OR=1.15, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.22, OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.45, OR=1.66, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.93, respectively) (volume 8, issues 3). Also, exposure to any caffeine was associated with the risk of increasing overweight among age 3 to 5 years old. Exposure to caffeine also leads to increase of the BMI. Any caffeine exposure was risky to increase their BMI among infancy to childhood. Children that were exposed to caffeine intake >200mg/day had higher weight. The higher the caffeine intake the higher the weight gain velocity from infancy to age 8 years

Thesis: Caffeine is something that almost everyone has consumed and some people are even addicted to. Caffeine has negative and positive effects on one’s health

One on the beneficial effects on caffeine, two the negative effects, and finally on trends in caffeine consumption

In the world of health one well-known controversy is whether or not caffeine is good for you or if it has any nutritional value. On the pro side of the argument, many doctors have performed new studies showing that caffeine has a lot of positive effects on our health such as reducing the risk of skin cancer which was confirmed in an experiment done by Erikka Loftfield MPH. Based on my research I’ve found that studies also show that caffeine “has been shown to enhance both physical and cognitive performance in younger adults”, as stated by M. J. Duncan in a study done in 2014. Sheena Derry’s studies from the University of Oxford show us that caffeine is a great remedy for pain relief and migraines. Registered dietician Keri Glassman stated in an interview that caffeine can help prevent well known diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson’s. And lastly, in an article written by Sara Altshul claims have been made that based on a study done in July 2015, caffeine can help improve your memory.

Caffeine is surrounding us these days, and it is in our everyday lives. We see kids with energy drinks and candy bars, and adults with their daily cup of coffee in their hand. “The US Food and Drug

Recent studies show that coffee could help reduce stress. In an experiment, half of the mice were given caffeine in their water and the other half had regular plain water. Then they were all put into stressful situations such as water, cold baths, cages tilted to 45 degrees. And surprisingly, only the mice that had no caffeine intake experienced stress behaviour. A Harvard study also states that it decrease suicidal rate by 50 %. Then, you might think why coffee and not energy drinks? Because not only does the caffeine in coffee help with stress relief, but as well as the fragrance of coffee. A study conducted by a team in Seoul National University found that coffee bean aroma increased the activity of 11 genes and decreased the activity of 2 genes in mice, minimising the stress due to deprived sleep. It also improved genes that produce protein and healthy antioxidants.Yes, it has health benefits

The metabolism results of study A showed caffeine results (Fig. A) as expected. Pre-caf gave the earliest caffeine reading, followed by dur-caf. Urinary caffeine levels (Fig. B) were well below the International Olympic Committee regulation of 12µg/ml. Plasma analysis showed that blood glucose levels were higher in the pre-caf treatment, possibly due an increase in metabolic rate from the

Caffeine has many negative effects on humans, such as increased heart rate (Lane, J.D., 2002), depression (Goldstein, 2008), and addiction to this “drug.” You may be asking yourself, “What is caffeine?” Well, caffeine is actually a stimulant (Barone, Roberts, 2008) that is found in beverages such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks. In fact, caffeine is the highest grossing and most used stimulant in the United States (Barone, Roberts, 2008). It is estimated that 85% of adults living in the United States consume caffeine on a daily basis (Barone, Roberts, 2008). That means for every 100 adults, 85 of them have had a drink that contained caffeine on any given day. One reason caffeine is so widely available compared to other stimulants is
