Feature Article: Coffee
Half of the American population is addicted to coffee. 25%
drink ten or more cups a day. Quitting coffee is both difficult
and painful. At age 71 I dropped coffee primarily to lower my
blood pressure. I had a two-week headache. Now I take afternoon
naps. The lure and temptation of coffee still exists.
Coffee has some negatives:
1. Raises the adrenaline level.
2. Linked to heartburn and ulcers.
3. Leading cause of sleep disturbance.
4. Constricts blood vessels of the eyes.
5. Contains at least five cancer causing compounds.
6. Contains pesticides that are not allowed in the U.S.
7. Contributes to iron loss, zinc loss, and sex drive loss.
8. Increases risk of stroke by increasing blood pressure.
9. Blocks adenosine, a brain chemical that calms you down.
10. Can cause panic attacks by increasing lactate in the body.
11. Can addict babies whose mothers drank during pregnancy
12. In conjunction with diet, cold, anti-depressants will dramatically
raise blood pressure.
13. Causes excretion of calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium
before being used by the body due to diuretic effect.
