The doctor reveals how your daily coffee can harm your health
COFFEE is a key part of the morning routine for most people. Drinking coffee first thing in the morning could destroy your health, according to studies, coffee can do more harm than good. Those who use brown potions are on the Titanic's path to the Devil's Iceberg. Symptoms usually only appear after a lot of damage "below the surface" has already been done. But it's worth taking the time and effort to investigate the hidden problems of brown drinks. For years we've heard that coffee is an "eye opener," but now we really want to open your eyes to the dangers lurking in your cup.
Chemical reactions, toxicity and diseases
In other words…
… when a person drinks black tea, coffee, matcha, coca cola or eats chocolate, the entire small intestine can 1200% more efficiently absorb this substance, called cyclic AMP, which produces energy. Most people would think that sounds great, but it's somewhat like putting mothballs in a gas tank. You can get a lot more power for a short while, but you'll ruin the engine in no time. It's only natural that you don't want to do something to your car that could cause a big repair bill. But how much are you willing to pay for your heart attack or to try to remove the cancer?
Caffeine is classified as one of the most popular mind-altering substances in the world today, along with nicotine and alcohol. Most people feel less alert, less satisfied, sleepier and more irritable when they are in the caffeine withdrawal period. There are at least 100 harmful chemicals in coffee, including acetaldehyde, acetic acid, ammonia, carbon disulfate, catenol, ethanol, methanol, naphthalene, phenol, and hydrogen sulfate, which combine to turn your body into an unconscious and perhaps unwilling pharmacist.
Caffeine stimulates all parts of the cerebral cortex. The lethal dose is 10 grams, which represents the amount found in about 70 cups of coffee. Most people take 1/10 of the lethal dose every day, and even one cup of coffee has substances lurking that seriously alter the body.
Women who drink only one cup of coffee a day are almost three times more likely to get uterine cancer than women who don't drink coffee! Thirteen out of fourteen women who drank seven or more cups of coffee a day during pregnancy had miscarriages, fetal deaths or stillbirths.(2)
Energy problems
An increased risk also occurs in men. Caffeine is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and passes through the central nervous system, with an average half-life of 3.5 to 4 hours. The half-life is the time it takes for the body to get rid of half of the poison or drug. Even when the body's defense mechanisms break down the substance, the damage is not stopped because the breakdown products of caffeine are also toxic. They interfere with the enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate, a necessary chemical in the body's energy cycle, resulting in a decrease in energy. The person is then nervous. So basically caffeine has a rollercoaster effect on the unwitting victim - first there is a cheap stimulant effect created by the absorption of cyclic AMP induced by caffeine, and then the resulting descent when the breakdown products of caffeine block the body's energy production.
The roller coaster continues calcium levels decrease and phosphorus levels increase after the breakdown of caffeine. Now, the disturbed balance of nutrients joins other problems, causing an increased risk of clot formation, abnormalities, thinning of the bones, nervous fatigue and psychological problems such as depression. Restlessness and the person's inability to concentrate are other symptoms that occur only a few hours after the intake is stopped. Although caffeine has been proven to increase concentration, it is only temporary. The overall effect is a reduction in the ability to concentrate due to the disruption of the brain and body's energy systems and the short duration of the stimulating effect. (3) Long-term memory is impaired for certain data and events, and work ability and professional progress are not as good in people who drink coffee as in those who do not. they don't drink it. (4)
Various other sources of caffeine
Athletes often use caffeine to enhance the use of fat as fuel for longer-term muscular activity, thereby saving sugar that can be used for sudden, explosive additional activity, or so in theory. But, just a little too much and caffeine interferes with abilities, leads to nervousness, loss of fluid (dehydration) and increased risk of other emotional problems.(5) Caffeine is a tasteless chemical, and it is found in many plants including coffee, black tea, seeds cola, guarana, cocoa, mate tea and quite popular matcha. Pure caffeine, under normal conditions, is a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a bitter taste. Fermented and dried tea leaves, so-called black tea contains, as unfermented green tea, contain about 3–3.5 % of caffeine. The quite popular Matcha drink contains 3.2g of caffeine per 100g. Some pain relievers contain aspirin and 15 to 30 milligrams of caffeine. Certain preparations for maintaining alertness contain up to 110 milligrams of caffeine per tablet.(6)
Problems with the heart, blood pressure...
Caffeine acts as a direct stimulus to the heart muscle. By direct action, it relaxes the bronchi. It has a diuretic effect (increases the amount of urine) by disrupting the function of the renal tubules and directly causes the expansion of blood vessels in the skin, especially the nose, by direct action on the arterioles. When it reaches the heart, unfortunately, instead of widening, it causes narrowing of the arteries, which is a very undesirable feature. Caffeine stimulates the medulla oblongata, affecting the respiratory center. (7) It also increases the workload of the heart by accelerating the work rate and increasing the blood pressure, while reducing the blood supply to the heart, making it harder for the heart to work.
Worsening with diabetes
The effect of caffeine on pancreatic cells also worsens diabetes. In experiments on mice, coffee seriously aggravates diabetes. (8) Caffeine disrupts the glucose tolerance test, especially during pregnancy. (9) It can be considered a risk factor for diabetes. (10) Caffeine causes extra heartbeats and speeds up the heart rate. It increases blood pressure, disturbs sleep and increases the level of free fatty acids in the blood.(11)
Brain problems
Our brain is protected from stimulation and irritation by any chemical found in the bloodstream. This protective barrier is called the "blood-brain barrier". Caffeine manages to get through the "blood-brain barrier" and stimulates the cerebral cortex in the part where thoughts are created, and the medulla oblongata where body functions are controlled. However, uric acid does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
In the case of caffeine, the effects occur soon after taking a drink or medicine containing caffeine, and last for about four hours. As might be expected, some of the immediate effects are impaired balance, rapid heartbeat, raised or altered pitch of the voice, insomnia, rapid but incoherent thoughts, poor memory, fatigue, and trembling fingers. Some will feel an inexplicable sense of fear and anxiety. Other symptoms may be delayed for hours or days, and include sleep disturbance, memory disturbance, headache, restlessness, palpitations, tremors, unsteadiness, dizziness, hyperreflexia, irritability, irritability, nervousness, restless legs, and general discomfort.(12) Type drink or drug and the amount taken will determine the degree of adverse reactions. Most people think that with the cessation of these unpleasant symptoms, the bad effects of caffeine are over. However, this is not the case, there are also long-term effects of caffeine use. Researchers have attributed various types and species to brown drinks.
Problems with allergies
Hydrochloric acid in coffee causes the most intense food allergies found in medical practice. (13) There is data that fluid retention is a side effect of caffeine. One patient had a fluid retention problem for 10 years, which immediately disappeared when she stopped drinking coffee. Within five days, she stated that she had not felt more relaxed in years and that her fluid retention problem had disappeared. (14) Coffee is the cause of dizziness, instability in the legs, depression, nervousness, irritability, circulation problems, uterine and ovarian cancer, disorders in childbirth and stomach ulcer. (15, 4, 16, 17, 18)
Caffeine and premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
The use of caffeinated beverages and cold and headache medications that contain caffeine is also associated with the development of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), according to a study of 295 female students at Boston University. (19) coffee drinkers, compared to non-drinkers, have a higher percentage of overweight cases, use more alcohol and smoke more cigarettes, and have a lower business status.(20)
Coffee is the main source of caffeine used in the world today. Caffeine is also found in coca cola, black tea, matcha and chocolate. The Mundial Coffee organization controls 59% of the $4.5 billion annual trade in coffee, the second largest commodity in world trade (right after oil). Its sale explains the fact that this harmful drink continues to contribute in large quantities to complex diseases in this country (America) and throughout the world.
The revenue generated does not even come close to covering the costs of treating diseases caused by coffee.
