How safe is it?
Coffee has been Reported to be an analgesic, an aphrodisiac, anorexic, antidotal, cardio tonic, CNS-stimulant, counterirritant, diuretic, hypnotic, lactagogue, nervine, and stimulant. Coffee is a folk remedy for asthma, atropine poisoning, fever, flu, headache, jaundice, malaria, migraine, narcosis, nephrosis, opium poisoning, sores, and vertigo. What's more, research has shown that there are four times the amount of anti-oxidants in coffee than in green tea, that coffee is an excellent anti-depressant and an effective performance and memory enhancer. There are many studies which prove the unti-canceroce effect of coffee.
Sounds pretty good. But let's remember that coffee is a powerful plant. And, as any other powerful plant, coffee has to be used carefully and with caution. As we mentioned in the article on Healthy Diet Guidelines, coffee increases blood acidity. Overused, it could over-stimulate the nervous system, which could trigger many other problems and even create an addiction. Purdue University pharmacologist Dr. Tyler (1982) cites "some evidence linking coffee and cancer of the pancreas." "...Caffeine...in large amounts produces many undesirable side effects--from nervousness and insomnia to rapid and irregular heartbeats, elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels, excess stomach acid, and heartburn. It is definitely a teratogen in rats." Michael Jacobson cites numerous studies on pregnant animals and humans in which the equivalent of 3-4 daily cups of coffee caused birth defects such as cleft palate and missing bones (Washington Star, December 20, 1978).
We do not recommend coffee if you have serious health conditions such as cancer, acute inflammation, hyperacidity, irregular heart beat, or high blood pressure. In such cases, we recommend that you consult with your physician.
